En su paso por el psicoanálisis contribuyó a definir criterios terapéuticos y un método propio para la interpretación de los sueños. Luego se embarcó en una original exploración alternativa del inconsciente, relacionándolo con los mitos colectivos y personales, hasta llegar al concepto de “arquetipo”. La vida de Jung es fascinante porque su aventura intelectual se mezcla con viajes realmente intensos por distintas regiones del mundo.

La obra y la vida de Sigmund Freud siguen dando tela para cortar. Fue tanto su impacto en la cultura occidental (y más allá) como variadas son las controversias alrededor de su legado. El fundador del psicoanálisis colocó al inconsciente en el centro de la escena.

Miles de terapeutas se siguen formando en base a sus enseñanzas, mientras que otras corrientes lo critican fuertemente. La biografía de Freud ayuda a comprender cómo fue su trayectoria y qué objetivos perseguía con el psicoanálisis.
