'This book was conceived during the war years, amid the din of a world cataclysm....Is it not possible that the primitive and unconscious side of man's nature might be more effectively tamed, even radically transformed? If not, civilization is doomed. In the following pages this question is examined in the light that analytical psychology has thrown on the contents and processes of the unconscious.' --Preface to the 1st ed.
