Repertory of Jungian Archetypes & Complexes

Jung's work is vast - twenty volumes of Collected Works and a century of interpretive scholarship. The terms recur: Shadow, Anima, Puer Aeternus, Mother Complex. But tracking down a clear, consistent account of each one means hours in scattered sources.

This Repertory solves that problem.

A systematic reference of the Archetypes and Complexes of Jungian psychology, organised so that you can enter from any angle and find what you need quickly. Every entry follows the same five-part structure: Core Essence, Positive/Mature Potentials, Negative/Immature Expressions, Typical Behaviours and Patterns, and Developmental Task. Every claim is cited to source - Jung's Collected Works by paragraph number, plus the interpretive scholarship of von Franz, Neumann, and Edinger.

Designed for:

- Jungian analysts in clinical practice

- Students of Jungian analysis - a working companion through the Collected Works, turning dense reading into recallable knowledge

- Naturopaths and integrative practitioners working with archetypal material

- Advanced meditation and self-knowledge students moving from reading about Jung to working with the framework

The Repertory is a ready reckoner - a book to have by your side while you study, while stepping into client practice, or while sitting with your own material. Browse it, cross-reference it, use it alongside whatever you are working through.

Two halves:

Archetypes - Structural Core (Self, Ego, Persona, Shadow, Anima, Animus), Dynamic Core (Puer, Puella, Senex, Child), Extended Archetypes (Hero, Trickster, Father, Mother, Kore, Persephone, Wise Old Man/Woman).

Complexes - Family, Gender-Related, Power and Identity, Relationship, Psychological Defence.
