Collected Works of C.G. Jung. Volume 1, Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 1 ; Psychiatric Studies

At the turn of the last century C. G. Jung began his career as a psychiatrist. During the next decade three men whose names are famous in the annals of medical psychology influenced his professional development: Pierre Janet, under whom he studied at the Salpetriere Hospital in Paris; Eugen Bleuler, his chief at the Burgholzli Hospital in Zurich; and Sigmund Freud, with whom Jung began corresponding in 1906. It is Bleuler, and to a lesser extent Janet, whose influence bears on the studies in descriptive and experimental psychiatry composing Volume 1 of the Collected Works. This first volume of Jung's Collected Works contains papers that appeared between 1902 and 1905. It opens with Jung's dissertation for the medical degree: "On the Psychology and Pathology of So-called Occult Phenomena," a detailed analysis of the case of an hysterical adolescent girl who professed to be a medium. This study foreshadows much of his later work and is indispensable to all serious students of his psychiatric career. The volume also includes papers on cryptomnesia, hysterical parapraxes in reading, manic mood disorder, simulated insanity, and other topics. Gli scritti raccolti nel primo volume delle Opere di C.G.Jung risalgono agli anni 1900-05. Sono gli anni del Burghlzli, lospedale per malattie mentali diretto da Bleuler, in cui Jung svolse unintensa attivit psichiatrica, fondata sulla ricerca di una comprensione dallinterno della personalit squilibrata . Questi scritti dimostrano quanto sia inesatto il rimprovero, talora mosso a Jung, di scarsa fedelt ai dati sperimentali. A partire dalla sua tesi di laurea sulla Psicologia e patologia dei cosiddetti fenomeni occulti, Jung si dimostra osservatore e terapeuta in un senso originalissimo, ancorato saldamente a un metodo empirico accogliente qualsiasi acca-dimento psichico con una disponibilit e un rispetto totali e mai prigioniero duna funzione pramente descrittiva. Tra i saggi qui raccolti ricordiamo: Psicologia e patologia dei cosiddetti fenomeni occulti (1902), Simulazione di malattia mentale (1903) e La diagnostica psicologica del fatto (1905). The authoritative edition of early psychiatric studies by Jung, which foreshadow much of his later work Psychiatric Studies gathers writings on descriptive and experimental psychiatry that Jung published between 1902 and 1905, early in his career as a psychiatrist. The book opens with a study that foreshadows much of his later work and is indispensable to all serious students of his psychiatric career. This is his medical-degree dissertation, "On the Psychology and Pathology of So-called Occult Phenomena," a detailed analysis of the case of an adolescent girl who professed to be a medium. This volume also includes papers on cryptomnesia, hysterical parapraxes in reading, manic mood disorder, simulated insanity, and other subjects.
