Carl Jung: a character of complexes

Carl Jung, the brilliant kaleidoscopic mind of psychoanalysis, died 50 years ago next week and The Guardian have the first part of a new series exploring his life and work.

In the history of psychology, Jung lives as a intense sunburst of experiences and ideas.

Sometimes the rays are so bright it’s hard to distinguish which are inspiration, which are psychosis, and which are a shining fusion of the two.

His life was equally as intriguing as his ideas and no less subject to both his brilliance and baffling self-indulgence.

He remains one of the most compelling figures in psychology this new series aims to capture some of his colourful life.
