Owing to his long and intimate friendship with Jung and his family Professor Baudouin has been able to throw a revealing light on many of the obscurer features in Jung's psychological theories. Their development, he believes, was largely the result of Jung's own personal problems and of certain emotional incidents in Jung's private life. In his survey of Jung's publications, and in tracing the progress of his ideas, Baudouin, unlike most previous commentators and reviewers, endeavours to bring out the special bearing of Jung's teaching, not so much on the problems of psychiatry and abnormal psychology, but on those of general psychology; and he has thus drawn attention to many neglected aspects of Jung's work.
