About the Book



Bold and compact, this new biography of Carl Jung fills a gap in the understanding of the pioneering psychiatrist by focusing on the occult and mystical dimension of Jung's life and work, a critical but frequently misunderstood facet of his career.



Book Synopsis



Now in paperback, this bold new biography fills a gap in our understanding of the pioneering psychologist by focusing on the occult and mystical aspects of Jung's thought and career.


"Outstanding . . . lifts the curtain on one of the most important aspects of his remarkable life . . . fair and objective." --Alice O. Howell, Quest magazine

"How the Swiss psychologist lived a life rich in the paranormal." --Los Angeles Times

"A serious but comprehensible new biography of Jung and his interest in the esoteric." --New Age Retailer

"Fascinating . . . Fully engaging from beginning to end." --Dell Horoscope

Although he is often called the "founding father of the New Age," Carl Jung, the legendary Swiss psychiatrist best known for his groundbreaking concepts such as the collective unconscious, archetype theory, and synchronicity, often took pains to avoid any explicit association with mysticism or the occult. Yet Jung lived a life rich in paranormal experiences--arguing for the existence of poltergeists in a debate with Sigmund Freud, participating in séances, incorporating astrology into his therapeutic work, reporting a near-death experience, and analyzing the work of pioneering ESP researcher J. B. Rhine. It is these critical experiences--often fleetingly touched on in other biographies or critical studies, and frequently used to make a case against Jung and his philosophies--that form the core of this significant new biography.

In his musical career, Lachman has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of the pioneering rock band Blondie. Lachman was born in New Jersey, and he currently lives in London.
