Jung was one of Freud's early disciples and collaborators, but in 1913 he founded an independent neo-Freudian school under the name of analytic psychology. The present work was his first major statement after his break with Freud. In it he rejects Freud's concept of the libido as sexual in origin and describes it as a creative force or psychic energy. He sees the libido as expressing itself through symbols, a theory which he later developed into his concept of the collective unconscious and the archetypes. This classic in psychology is translated into English as Psychology of the unconscious.
