Animus and Anima

This book contains two classic papers, 'On the Nature of the Animus' and 'The Anima as an Elemental Being,' which are essential reading for training Jungian analysts.

Emma Jung delves into the concepts of animus and anima, explaining how these archetypes appear in dreams, fantasies, and behavior.

She discusses the animus as the embodiment of the masculine personality in women and the anima as the feminine personality in men, highlighting their roles in integrating the unconscious and conscious aspects of the self.

The essays use myth and fairy tales to illustrate the qualities and influences of these archetypes.
