Freud, Jung and Spiritual Psychology

In this book Rudolf Steiner lays the foundation for a truly spiritual psychology. He begins by examining the principles of Freud and Jung. While Steiner agrees that the phenomena originating psychoanalysis are real, he claims that because Freud did not recognize spirit, the human soul experience was cut off from the larger whole and reduced to subjective, personal history. Beginning with a phenomenological description of the threefold structure of human consciousness - reflective or mirror consciousness, supraconsciousness, and subconsciousness - the outlines an alternative psychology that takes into account both the soul's hidden powers and the complex connections between psychological and organic, bodily processes.
