Customer Reviews

The reviewers below are ignorant.

This is collection of essays by respected analysts, and the reviewers below have never read them. What these reviewers don't know is that most of these anlalysts took the pains to familiarize themselves with traditional psychoanalysis and the more modern object-relations school. Yes, at times Jung was sexist and the post-jungians, many of which are women, are aware of that fact. By the way, Jungian analysis is incredibly down to earth. And for God's sake, stop attacking Jung: we know already. Also try James Hillman(Myth of Analysis, Re-visioning Psychology)and Naomi Goldenberg (Ressurection of the Body) with their strong criticism of Jung and Jungians.
