Psychology; Analytical & Jungian psychology; Sleep & dreams

In 1932, world-renowned physicist Wolfgang Pauli had already done the work that would win him the 1945 Nobel Prize. He was also suffering after a series of troubling personal events. He was drinking heavily, quarrelling frequently, and experiencing powerful, disturbing dreams. Pauli turned to C. G. Jung for help, forging an extraordinary intellectual conjunction not just between a physicist and a psychologist but between physics and psychology. As their acquaintance developed, Jung and Pauli discussed the nature of dreams and their relation to reality, finding surprising common ground between depth psychology and quantum physics and profoundly influencing each other's work. This portrait of an incredible friendship will fascinate readers interested in psychology, science, creativity, and genius.

Reviews for Atom and Archetype: The Pauli/Jung Letters, 1932-1958 - Updated Edition

This book is both a historical document and a treasure trove of ingenious speculation full of cleverness, frank intelligence, authoritative information about physics, cutting-edge psychology, and informed parallels from antiquity. --David Tresan, Journal of Analytical Psychology This book reveals sides of both men that aren't often found in the popular literature surrounding them... [D]elightful and very informative. --Vassi Toneva, Journal of Scientific Exploration In early 1932 Pauli turned to Carl Jung, the already famous psychoanalyst, for help. Jung was thrilled by the opportunity to look into the subconscious of one of the world's most brilliant minds... The association lasted until Pauli's death in 1958. --Engelbert L. Schucking, Physics Today
