Erich Neumann was a prominent psychologist and one of Carl Jung's most talented students.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of Berlin and practiced analytical psychology in Tel Aviv.
Neumann made significant contributions to developmental psychology and the psychology of consciousness and creativity.
His concept of "centroversion" synthesized extra- and introversion.
Neumann is best known for his theory of feminine development, explored in works like The Great Mother.
His writings examine how mythology throughout history reveals aspects of consciousness development in both individuals and society.
Neumann's theoretical and philosophical approach to analysis contrasted with the more clinical focus in England and the United States.
