Beautifully illustrated and told
Being a mother of two children...I buy lots of children's books. But also being an artist, I gravitate toward beautifully illustrated books. And this is one of the most beautifully illustrated books that i have ever come across. And because of this, I plan to track down other books with the same illustrator, Kinuko Craft. I love mythology and the story of Cupid and Psyche is one of my ...

Psyche and the Sacred: Spirituality Beyond Religion

2 reviews
Lionel Corbett

Spring Journal Books, 2006

Spirituality without institutions/places/dogma
I reviewed Dr Corbett's other book, "The Religious Functions of the Psyche" and also gave it 5 stars. Both books will appeal to those who have a sense of the sacred but have not found it in ready-made religions. He covers all the psychological areas of life which are defined as "spiritual" in organized religions, virtually all of it. Familiarity with Jungian concepts, Jungian writers such as ...

Hayao Kawai

Spring Publications, 1996

Exploring the Japanese people through Fairy Tales
Much of a culture's beliefs and character are expressed in its fairy tales. They are the stories everyone learns from childhood, and the motifs teach children society's moral code in easily understandable and enjoyable parables. We can all remember the legends, the handsome princes and beautiful princess, the monsters and heroes. For most Westerners, Japan's fairy tales, called ...

Anatomy of the Psyche: Alchemical Symbolism in Psychotherapy (Reality of the Psyche Series)

Edward F. Edinger

Open Court Publishing Company, 1991

A great introduction to a fascinating subject
If I had my time over again I would read these three books on alchemy in the following order: All of them are excellent in their own sphere to introduce a complex process. (1) The Forge and the Crucible - Eliade This is an excellent prehistory of alchemy showing the patterns of thought out of which Alchemy most probably arose. An easy read. (2) Anatomy of the Soul - Edinger Set out according to ...

An increasing number of adolescents are being referred for psychotherapy and psychiatric treatment but there are a great many difficulties in reaching the adolescent client, and the number of successful outcomes is low. The Adolescent Psyche offers a psychological framework based on the work of Jung and Winnicott, demonstrating how adolescence is really a unique stage of development in the life cycle, rather than a mere recapitulation of ...

Apuleius

Cambridge University Press, 1991

great intermediate latin text
This is an outstanding intermediate Latin text. The story is great, it has good notes, and there are exercize sentences in the back. It does not have a running vocabulary, like many of the Bolchazy books do, but of course there is a vocabulary in the back of the book.

Psyche and Matter (C. G. Jung Foundation Books)

Marie-Louise von Franz

Shambhala, 2001

Highly relevant book
Physics is grappling with the same problems that Marie Louise von Franz tackles in her book, Psyche and Matter. An amazing book of insights which help clarify that relationship between matter and psyche...or that they are the same: just different perspectives.

The Religious Function of the Psyche

4 reviews
Lionel Corbett

Routledge, 1996

Very Rich and Filling
This book is packed with Jungian concepts. It is not at all a book for casual reading, something one just breezes through then shelves. It a text that one reads and then meditates upon and then reads again later on. Very difficult to milk it dry. One comes back and must come back to every page again and again if one is to relish all that Corbett has locked in his book. Don't be misled by its ...

A new way of learning
This book helps us understand your inner-self. You learn a lot about how you really are and learn how to control new abilities. I would give this book to any women who wants to get in touch with a secret part of their mind. You also learn about history and this helps you to adapt what you've learned in your present life.

Aromatherapy: Scent and Psyche: Using Essential Oils for Physical and Emotional Well-Being

Peter Damian, Kate Damian

Healing Arts Press, 1995

Scent and Psyche brought together in a in-depth presentation
I most sincerely recommend this work to anyone interested in learning more about the magic of Aromas! Not only do the co-athors Peter and Kate Damian discuss the various attributes of many scents, they also tread deep into the inner workings of the human olfactory system. The research they have gathered is worthy of any major medical journal in both content and depth. I personally am involved ...
