Atriya Majumdar | 1 comments I am interested in Psychology, but I opt for an orderly read of every book written by Carl Jung (From Man and his Symbols to the Four Archetypes). But once, I left mid-way while reading 'Interpretation of dreams' due to it basing on Freud's earlier theories. I don't want to stumble with Jung that way - so, could you mention a specific order, which if followed, will provide me with the theories of Jung on dreams, man and his eternal quest to find himself?

Barbara K. (barbara-wildviolets) | 5 comments I can't recommend a particular order, and I'm not convinced there is one, unless it's chronological - in the order that he wrote his books. But there are also compilations of his writings on specific topics that include portions of his writings along with lectures, notes, and so forth that wouldn't fit neatly into any chronological list. It could be that you're trying too hard to keep it all in order. Just my opinion.

Perhaps someone else, who's read more of his collective works, has better advice.
