About the Book

Examines the nature and extent of Jung's influence and the validity of archetypal theory, not only in areas that have traditionally availed themselves of the psychoanalytic approach, but also in areas which have more recently explored its applications. A timely overview of archetypal scholarship showing the increasingly wide scope of Jung's psychology.
