Reviews

[This book] is integrative and explains a great deal for people who have been perplexed by the difficulty of the Jungian corpus. Importantly, it lays a groundwork that might inspire other readers, both technical and nontechnical, to take a look at Jung as someone who built up astonishingly current concepts while living in a world that is now two centuries gone. - Richard Gray, PsyCritiques, August 2012, Vol. 57
