EDITOR'S PREFACE TO SECONDEDITION
The following papers have been gathered together from various sources,and are now available for the first time to English readers. The subjectof psychoanalysis is much in evidence, and is likely to occupy stillmore attention in the near future, as the psychological content of thepsychoses and neuroses is more generally appreciated and understood.It is of importance, therefore, that the fundamental writings of boththe Viennese and Zürich Schools should be accessible for study. Severalof Freud's works have already been translated into English. Dr. Jung's"Wandlungen und Symbole der Libido" was published in America in 1916under the title of "The Psychology of the Unconscious." That work, readin conjunction with these papers, offers a fairly complete picture of thescientific and philosophic standpoint of the leader of the Zürich School.It is the task of the future to judge and expand the findings of bothschools, and to work at the development of the new psychology, which isstill in its infancy.
It will be a relief to many students of the unconscious to see it inanother aspect than that of "a wild beast couched, waiting its hour tospring." Some readers have gathered that view of it from the writingsof the Viennese School, a view which is at most that dangerous thing "ahalf-truth."
In the papers appearing for the first time in this edition (ChaptersXIV. and XV.), Dr. Jung develops his ideas of introversion andextroversion, a contribution of the first importance to psychology.He agrees with Freud in regarding the neuroses to be the result ofrepression, but differs in his view as to the origin of repression.He finds this to lie[vi]not in sexuality per se, but rather in man's natural tendencyto adapt to the demands of life one-sidedly, according to his type ofmentality. The born extrovert adapts by means of feeling, thought beingunder repression and relatively infantile. The introvert's naturaladaptation is by means of thought; feeling being more or less repressedremains undeveloped. In either type the neglected co-function is behindthe adapted function. This inequality operating in the unconscious,brings about a conflict, which in certain subjects amounts to a neurosis,and in others produces a limitation of individual development. This viewshifts the interpretation of repression on to a much more comprehensivebasis than that of sexuality, although there can scarcely be a repressionthat does not include this instinct on account of its deep andfar-reaching importance in man.
There is no doubt that
