Verena Kast, in her wonderful narrations of actual case histories, describes the typical psychic background of a crisis, as well as the developmental possibilities contained in them. One such case begins: "A young man, twenty­ eight ye...

In recent decades, this impact has been strengthened by advances in linguistic and literary theory, by such disparate influences as feminism, structuralism, Jungianism, deconstructionism, the a...

Soren Kierkegaard's Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing fell into my hands when I was twenty years old.

By presenting male sexuality along with its psychological and spiritual issues, his work adds to our understanding of men today. In Nak...

Creativity and madness, sparked by the intrusion of unconscious symbolism, arise from the same feminine depths-what Jung, following Goethe, called the realm of the Mothers. Which one triumphs depends on the strength of the ego under the onslaught of unconscious contents. The developmental course of that ego, and its archetypal aspects, are charted here, in a psychobiography that ventures into the realm of the Mothers so that the creativity and...

The Father: Mythology and Changing Roles examines the changing role of the father in today's family and explores the impact of fatherhood on a man's life. Our incomplete mythology assigns earth to women through the earth mother and sky to men through the sky father.
