"In Freud's and Jung's days the repression of sexuality and spirituality by an
overrigid ego accounted for the majority of psychopathology. Nowadays the
problems lie more frequently with insufficient ego structuring, confusion and
borderline pathology, and the difficulties of finding new forms of I-Thou
relationships in a world no longer regulated by viable collective standards."
-From the Introduction
In this highly acclaimed work Edward C. Whitmont explores C. G. Jung's
revolutionary discoveries about the archetypal world and the self, offering
practical insights into the process of healing and transformation. Describing
life as a dramatic story in which all our experiences take on meaning, Whitmont stresses the need to encounter that story's symbolic underpinnings not only intellectually but also emotionally. He has added material amplifying the importance of one's relationship to collectivity and community and conveying new interpretations of classical Jungian thinking on gender archetypes.
.. [Whitmont] has succeeded in what can only be called an act of creative translation. . . . The general reader will get what has not been available before-
a clear and lucid statement of the Jungian position that life has a pattern of
"wholeness which can only be comprehended symbolically at this moment in time." -The Los Angeles Times
