The book offered to the reader introduces us to the symbolic description of the unconscious, characteristic of the Jungian analytical school, presented through the space of myth. Analysis of myths existing in various societies allows us to identify archetypes characteristic of society, understand the main trends in their development, and identify the nature of the main internal conflicts. Working with symbolic and mystical images that exist in the individual consciousness makes it possible to better understand the initial causes of conflict states, the foundations of difficult-to-explain actions. The author also describes in detail the truly revolutionary contribution of C. G. Jung to the archetypal analysis of myth. The book will be of interest not only to practicing psychologists and students, but also to a wide range of readers interested in issues of depth psychology. 2nd edition.
