Freud & Jung: A dual introduction by Anthony Stevens and Anthony Storr; 1998. Hardcover.

Two complete biographies in one volume, this book is a fascinating introduction to the lives and works of the two most influential figures in the field of psychology: Sigmund Freud was a man of science--an inhibited, obsessional workaholic whose personal and professional honesty compelled him to modify and revise his theories on several occasions. In his elegant study, Anthony Storr examines the development and changes in Freud's thinking and his influence on our current understanding of the role of sexuality, dreams, repression, and taboo in the formation of the personality. Carl Jung was a visionary and a mystic. An erudite man with encyclopedic knowledge of a daunting array of subjects, he recognized his own failings as a communicator yet never revised his works in the same systematic way as Freud. In his biography, Anthony Stevens studies Jung's bold incursions into such areas as personal transformation and the ego, rendering even his most arcane theories more readily accessible.
