EDITORIAL NOTE
The concept of archetypes and its correlate, that of the collective
unconscious, are among the better known theories developed by Professor
Jung. Their origins may be traced to his earliest publication, “On the
Psychology and Pathology of So-called Occult Phenomena” (1902),* in
which he described the fantasies of an hysterical medium. Intimations of the
concepts can be found in many of his subsequent writings, and gradually
tentative statements crystallized and were reformulated until a stable core of
theory was established.
Part I of Volume 9 consists of essays—written from 1933 onward—
describing and elaborating the two concepts. The volume is introduced by
three essays establishing the theoretical basis, followed by others describing
specific archetypes. The relation of these to the process of individuation is
defined in essays in the last section.
Part II of the volume, entitled Aion and published separately, is devoted to
a long monograph on the symbolism of the self as revealed in the “Christian
aeon.” Together the two parts give the nucleus of Jung’s work on the theory
and meaning of archetypes in relation to the psyche as a whole.

While the illustrations that accompany the last two papers are the same
subjects published with the Swiss versions in Gestaltungen des Unbewussten,
they have now been rephotographed and improved in presentation. It has
been possible to give the entire pictorial series illustrating “A Study in the
Process of Individuation” in colour and to add seven additional pictures,
which were chosen by the author from those in his possession (par. 616).
Several of the illustrations for “Concerning Mandala Symbolism,” also, are
now given in colour. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Mrs. Aniela Jaffé
and to Mrs. Margaret Schevill-Link for their kind assistance in connection
with the pictures. The frontispiece was published in the Swiss magazine Du
(April 1955), with the brief article by Professor Jung on mandalas which is
given in the appendix. This “Mandala of a Modern Man” was painted in
1916.
EDITORIAL NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION
Bibliographical citations and entries have been revised in the light of
subsequent publications in the Collected Works and essential corrections have
been made. Jung’s acknowledgment in his Memories, Dreams, Reflections of
having painted the mandala illustrated in the frontispiece, and four other
mandalas in this volume, is explained on page 355, n.1.
TRANSLATOR’S NOTE
Grateful acknowledgment is made to those whose translations have been
consulted: Mr. W. S. Dell, for help derived from his translations of two
papers: “Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious” and “The Meaning of
Individuation” (here entitled “Conscious, Unconscious, and Individuation”),
both published in The Integration of the Personality; Mrs. Cary F. Baynes
and Miss Ximena de Angulo, for permission to use, virtually unchanged, long
portions of their translations of “Psychological Aspects of the Mother
Archetype” and “Concerning Rebirth,” issued in Spring (New York), 1943
and 1944; and to Miss Hildegard Nagel, for reference to her translation of
“The Psychology of the Trickster-Figure,” in Spring, 1955.
