Biographical history
The Archives and Manuscripts department is grateful to Mr Sonu Shamdasani for the following notes on the significance of this edition:
"This particular copy is one of an edition of mimeographed seminars printed in Zurich that were originally available only in Jung libraries and to select individuals, and which are now in the course of being published. The lectures in question were published in 1967 under the title Analytical Psychology and included in Jung's Collected Works under the title by which they were generally known - "The Tavistock Lectures" (CW8).
However, the copy in question is of value for the following reasons (which are not generally known). In a conversation with Michael Fordham, an editor of the Collected Works, who was actually present at the lectures, he informed me that the publicly published versions were substantially edited - in particular, what he termed Jung's 'rudeness' to the assembled gathering of prominent British psychiatrists and psychologists was taken out. Further, the correspondence around the editing of this text shows that the question as to whether such tampering with Jung's 'holy writ' was permissible led to an involved discussion. Hence this copy would be of interest to anyone persuing either of these topics."

This volume was found among the papers of Sona Rosa Burstein (1897-1971), an anthropologist employed at the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum from 1928 until 1957. Her books and papers were sorted and placed in the appropriate departments of the Library in the Spring of 1994. Miss Burstein appears to have obtained the volume through the good offices of Douglas Kennedy (1893-1988), Organising Director of the English Folk Dance Society, 1924-1961.
