A Voyage Through Tormented Minds

Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, tormented by his internal conflicts and demons offered help to Magda Liliane Kardoss von Gamsfeld, a wealthy widow, to freed her demons in a doble psychotherapy session. Magda's revelations were hard to believe, its ran from sado-masochism relations and insest to murder. A very well written novel that fascinated me as a reader with Madga's turbulent life and Mr. Jung reflections but what was not clear is the end of the novel, whatever happended after the admission of guilt and the recovery of Magda is very confussing and the moralizing end dissapointed me very much, I expected a more professional ending.

Jung and psycanalysis

Morris West face the psycanalysis world building a novel on a real misterious letter by Karl Gustav Jung that talked about a woman named magda. I readed it in 5 hours. If you love Morris West you must to read it.
