Reflections on the Life and Dreams of C.G. Jung - Sibylle Birkhäuser-Oeri

In Reflections on the Life and Dreams of C.G. Jung, Aniela Jaffé presents previously unpublished experiences and ruminations that Jung confided to her in the last years of his life. These revelations present a kaleidoscope of the episodic and the philosophical, the humorous and the enigmatic, uniquely complementing and expanding the previously published and highly successful Memories, Dreams, Reflections by C.G. Jung. "Jung allowed his thoughts to flow freely during our conversations, according to the situation and his interests of the moment. When speaking with me he was not hindered by intellectual considerations of possible criticism. It didnt concern him that his words and insights might require further thoughtful reflection before they could be deemed coherent or valid. If I managed to touch upon a point of interest, Jung did not just answer my question, but followed his train of thought further." -- Aniela Jaffé, from the Introduction. The historical commentary by Elena Fischli illuminates the biographical work with C.G. Jung on the basis of source material. How did the conversations and the notes of Aniela Jaffé come about?
