Five lectures Jung gave in English to about two hundred doctors at the Tavistock Clinic in London in 1935, followed by the questions and his answers. He sets out the structure of the psyche, the functions of thinking, feeling, sensation and intuition and the attitudes of introversion and extraversion, the personal and collective unconscious and the archetypes, and then describes his methods, the word association test, dream analysis and active imagination, illustrating each with cases. The final lecture treats transference. The informal tone makes it the easiest way into his system.

The catalogue entry above is complete: the dates, the form, the themes and every program that assigns Analytical Psychology are verified against each program's published list.
What is missing is the part that takes real work: the summary, the key passages, and a recommended translation. The edition named below is the one most programs assign, so the buy links are useful already.
