About the author

Carl Gustav Jung (/jʊŋ/; German: [ˈkarl ˈɡʊstaf jʊŋ]), often referred to as C. G. Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion; archetypes, and the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, many of whose works were not published until after his death.

The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development.

Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung's theory of psychological types.

Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas such as Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic, although his ambition was to be seen as a man of science. His influence on popular psychology, the "psychologization of religion", spirituality and the New Age movement has been immense.

Obra centrada en los problemas educacionales infantiles.

Subraya la responsabilidad que recae sobre todo educador, entendiendo como tal, no sólo al maestro, sino a todo el que intervenga, ya directa, ya indirectamente, en la orientación de un niño: el médico, el psicólogo, el pedagogo.

Lo que más me gustó:
▪ Aborda la relevancia de la situación anímica de los padres y del "clima psicológico familiar" como claves del desarrollo infantil.
▪ Mantiene la postura de no considerar el alma humana como un sistema rígido e inmutable, sino como un suceder móvil y fluido.

En la contraportada del libro se expresa que "el texto no solo interesará al especialista, sino también al lector no especializado"... ante lo cual coincido parcialmente. Si bien parte de generalidades de las doctrinas analíticas y ofrece un análisis comparativo entre las posturas de Jung, Freud y Adler; emplea terminología que no necesariamente es básica, pues alude a conceptos de psicología médica, psicología fisiológica y categorías de trastornos psíquicos infantiles que sí requieren, invariablemente, de conocimientos especializados previos.

Habría entonces que preguntarse, ¿quién es un "lector no especializado"?
▪ ¿Un profesional del área médica, psicológica, educativa... quien no tenga especialidad en psicología analítica?
-Sí lo recomendaría.
▪ ¿Público general o padres de familia?
-No lo recomendaría, pues contiene información ajena a la categoría de conocimientos generales.

I did not read this book in French but could not find it online in English. It's a book of lectures given by Jung that touch upon Education of the child in some way. I am quite happy to have read such a foundational piece. It was interesting to know that Jung was advocating for folks to really know each individual child rather than prescribe a general method based on superficial characteristics. His style of speech is really pompus but I wonder if that was a persuasive speaking strategy of the times or just a guy who is full of himself.
