Image is Psyche. Episode 1 - House as Image of the Self
The house of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and the founder of Analytical Psychology is a historical monument in Switzerland. Apart from having been a comfortable home for a family of seven, and an office for CG Jung and his wife Emma Rauschenbach, the house is also an image of Jung’s fundamental concepts and ideas.
In this episode of the podcast we visit CG Jung's house in Küsnacht situated on the shores of Lake Zurich and explore how the concepts introduced by CG Jung such as Self, Collective Unconscious and others found their incarnation in the house built by the couple in 1909.
