Religion & Psychology

Following are a few selected links that have summary information about the life and work of C.G. Jung. There's a ton more out there - but much of it is oriented to people who are already pretty familiar with his work, so these are a pretty good start. In reading this, try to come up with a working definition for yourself of "the archetype" as used by Jung. Also try to figure out what he felt the goal of psychological development was and how, in the modern age, people are supposed to go about the work of becoming more fully themselves. How do people get it wrong?

Use this for the brief biography, the introduction to Jung - which has some especially good and succinct definitions - and the essay by Jung about psychology and art (which he sees as parallel to religion). Don't use the other links, as they take you out of the Jung material.
