An Introduction to the Collected Works of C. G. Jung: Psyche as Spirit offers a concise and engaging overview of Jung's work and contributions to the field of psychology. Mayes first examines Jung's philosophical influences as well as his work and eventual break with Sigmund Freud, providing insights into how these experiences shaped Jung's theory. Mayes brings into focus the major concepts and themes explored in Carl Gustav Jung's Collected Works, including the ego-Self Axis, archetypes, personality types, and the Collective Unconscious, presenting a thorough introduction and a valuable resource for both Jungian students as well as Jungian scholars.

Clifford Mayes is the author of 14 books and forty scholarly articles on educational psychology, multiculturalism, and curriculum theory. The founder of Archetypal Pedagogue, Mayes recently retired as a Professor of Educational Psychology after over 20 years of service at Brigham Young University. Jacquelyn Rinaldi received her doctorate in archetypal psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Her teaching incorporates self-awareness as a key to humanity's next evolutionary step.
