Determined to share his adventurous life, and to continue her own studies, she was too young to understand Carl’s complex personality or conceive the dramas that lay ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabyrinths tells the story of the Jungs’ unconventional marriage, their friendship and, following publication of Jung’s \u003cem\u003eThe Psychology of the Unconscious\u003c\/em\u003e, subsequent rift with Freud. It traces Jung’s development of word association, notions of the archetype, the collective unconscious, the concepts of extraversion and introversion and the role played by both Carl and Emma in the early development of the scandalous new Psychoanalysis movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its many twists and turns, the Jung marriage was indeed labyrinthine and Emma was forced to fight with everything she had to come to terms with Carl’s brilliant, complex character and to keep her husband close to her.
