Description: Little attention has been paid to Emma Jungs role in the history of analytical psychology and in the life of C.G. Jung. This extended biographical essay by Imelda Gaudissart, originally published in French, provides a carefully detailed view of this remarkable woman. Gaudissarts sensitive depiction of Emma Jung reveals a very real woman confronted with an unexpected life and challenged to develop in ways that, for a wife and mother of the time, were almost unimaginable. She worked closely with her husband, Carl Jung, as well as with Sigmund Freud, and became an analyst herself and being instrumental in establishing the earliest institutions for analytical psychology. The issues Emma Jung faced on her path to individuation will resonate with many women today.
