Labyrinths: Emma Jung, Her Marriage to Carl, and the Early Years of Psychoanalysis Audiobook (Free)

A sensational, eye-opening account of Emma Jung’s organic marriage to Carl Gustav Jung and the hitherto unknown function she played in the early many years of the psychoanalytic movement.

Clever and ambitious, Emma Jung yearned to study the natural sciences in the School of Zurich. But the strict rules of correct Swiss society at the start from the twentieth century dictated that a girl of Emma’s stature-one of the richest heiresses in Switzerland-travel to Paris to ‘complete’ her education, about Labyrinths: Emma Jung, Her Relationship to Carl, and the first Years of Psychoanalysis to get ready for relationship to a suitable man.

Engaged towards the son of 1 of her father’s wealthy business colleagues, Emma’s conventional and predictable life was upended when she fulfilled Carl Jung. The kid of the penniless pastor working as an assistant physician in an crazy asylum, Jung dazzled Emma with his intelligence, confidence, and visual appearance. More important, he provided her freedom from the confines of a traditional haute-bourgeois existence. But Emma didn’t know that Jung’s charisma masked a dark interior-fostered by a strange, isolated childhood and the sexual abuse he’d experienced like a boy-as well being a compulsive philandering that could threaten their relationship.

Using letters, family interviews, and rich, never-before-published archival material, Catrine Clay illuminates the Jungs’ unorthodox marriage and explores how it shaped-and was formed by-the scandalous fresh movement of psychoanalysis. Most important, Clay unveils how Carl Jung could do not have achieved what he did without Emma assisting him through his personal torments. The Emma that emerges in the web pages of Labyrinths is usually a strong, brilliant girl, who, with her husband’s encouragement, turns into a successful analyst in her very own right.
