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 one 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 insights into Jung's thought and the collected materials, it is hoped that its publication will inspire serious reflection and active responses from scholars and readers interested in Jung. As part of the "Jung's Mystical Psychology" series, this volume provides a relatively comprehensive introduction to the main concepts and views of Jungian analytical psychology. It also includes, as much as possible, recent international research findings that experimentally verify Jung's theoretical hypotheses, transforming his profound and obscure ideas into accessible insights. This aims to deepen readers' understanding of Jung's psychological content and enhance 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, at 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 interpret and critique them based on their own understanding.
