Features: This book explores Carl Jung's psychological research on mystical phenomena. Jung was a psychotherapist, and his studies on these mystical phenomena were based on his clinical practice. It is part of the "Jung's Mystical Psychology" series, providing a comprehensive evaluation and study of Jung's fundamental psychological ideas. This book aims to address the shortcomings in academic research on Jung's psychology in China. Based on the author's decade-long reflections on Jung's thought and the materials collected, it hopes to inspire serious consideration and active responses from scholars and readers interested in Jung. As part of the "Jung's Mystical Psychology" series, this volume offers a relatively comprehensive introduction to the main concepts and viewpoints of Jungian analytical psychology. It also includes, as much as possible, recent international research findings that experimentally validate Jung's theoretical hypotheses, transforming his profound and complex ideas into accessible insights. This book seeks to deepen readers' understanding of Jung's psychological content and their comprehension of the human spiritual world. In addition to Jung's own theoretical perspectives, the book cites the views of other analytical psychologists and, in the end, elaborates on the development and fundamental ideas of post-Jungian analytical psychology. This allows readers to gain a clear and complete understanding of the entire Jungian school of thought. Of course, many of the viewpoints in the book are the author's reflections from years of studying Jung, and some may be controversial. Readers are encouraged to choose and analyze them based on their own understanding.
