Reviews
This compelling, rich and provocative exchange between a renowned philosopher-psychoanalyst and a noted Jungian-oriented psychiatrist brings new vitality and insight to one of the most complex concepts of analytical psychology. The archetype, its origins and development in the human psyche, is explored in dynamic ways that challenge the premises of past debates and offer novel non-binary reconsiderations that transcend previous nature versus culture arguments. The authors offer an expansion of thirdness that will help shape research, as well as philosophical and theoretical considerations of archetypal realities into the foreseeable future. Joe Cambray, Ph.D. President-CEO, Pacifica Graduate Institute; author of Synchronicity. This book is truly innovative in content and truly unique in style. Designed as a dialog between two authors well known as experts in analytical psychology, it reflects on C.G. Jung's key concept of archetypes and presents current progress in its proper understanding. A particularly valuable and challenging aspect of their approach is its metaphysical frame, offering important cross-fertilization between Jung's oeuvre and contemporary trends in philosophy. An inspiring book that suggests novel avenues to explore the origin of consciousness and the mind-matter problem beyond the all-too narrow boundaries of physicalist positions. Harald Atmanspacher, Head of the Department of Theory and Data Analysis of the Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health, Freiburg; Faculty Member, C.G. Jung Institute, Zurich; and Editor-in-Chief of the journal, Mind and Matter. A much needed and most welcome constructive debate on the centrality of archetype theory in Jungian psychology. The authors' intellectual rigor is to be applauded. Anyone seriously interested in the future of Jungian psychology should study this book carefully. Murray Stein, Ph.D., author of Jung's Map of the Soul
