Excellent companion book on Jung's work

I read this book like a journey starting at 'A' and reading subsequent cross-references. It's clear & simple. Having read the Icon picture book on "Jung - For Beginners" (Hyde & McGuinness), this volume added the icing on the cake at introductory level. Enjoy.

Couldn't be handier.

Concise, clear, informative. Concepts are in alphabetical order: anima, ego, syzygy, etc. Highly recommended for students of Jung. At the moment I'm not teaching any introductions to Jung's thought, but when I do I plan to assign this book. I hope the authors consider expanding on the "critical" aspect some day: each definition is mostly explanatory with a few comments appended.
