The Origins and History of Consciousness
Book • 1954
In this influential book, Erich Neumann outlines the archetypal stages in the development of consciousness, using depth psychology and analytical psychology.
He discusses how individual consciousness undergoes the same stages of development as human consciousness as a whole, tracing these stages through various myths and archetypes such as the Great Mother, the separation of the World Parents, the Birth of the Hero, and the Slaying of the Dragon.
The book emphasizes the role of the collective unconscious and the evolving ego consciousness, and it includes a foreword by C.G.
Jung.
Neumann's work connects these psychological concepts to therapy, aiming to help individuals and society by exploring the deep parts of the mind and understanding myths and their impact on human development.
