Library
The Jung Institute's library hosts some 15,000 volumes. Among them are all significant publications in the field of Jungian Psychology and Psychotherapy, many of their translations in other languages, and a large selection of works from related fields.
For most of the year the library is open to our students as well as others who are researching a particular topic. In the Institute's Bookshop, recent publications can be browsed and purchased. Other titles can be ordered.
Picture Archives
The Picture Archives of the C.G. Jung Institute Zurich in Küsnacht comprises some 14,000 drawings from patients and analysands who worked with C.G. Jung or with therapists of the following generations. It also hosts a broad collection of comparative material from the history of the human spirit intended to aid in researching motifs, images, and their archetypal symbolism. "Painting from the Unconscious" is part of a method described by Jung as "Active Imagination". Beginning in 1916, Jung began using this method with his patients, after having experimented with it himself for many years. The idea is to get in touch with inner fantasies and then to reflect on them consciously. This takes place by concentrating on images that appear as motifs in dreams or in spontaneous fantasies or that arise in the context of emotional states.
C.G. Jung study archives at the ETH
The library of the Federal Technical Institute (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule) in Zurich, special (non-circulating) collections, houses some 1000 manuscripts by Jung and over 30'000 letters that belong to his correspondence. The heirs of the Jung family (Erbengemeinschaft) bestowed this gift to the ETH in 1977 for the "establishment of a C.G. Jung study archive ". In 1998, the ETH also acquired the original correspondence between Freud und Jung.
