Insearch Psychology and Religion

Hillman's four chapters - the Human Encounter, the Unconscious as Experience, the Inner Morality of the Shadow, & the Inner Feminine or Anima - give a comprehensive account of Jungian Psychology from the inside. INSEARCH has become one of the few enduring descriptions of Jungian therapy in its relation with religion. His examples are fresh, his language easy & the evident pleasure he takes in opening the great questions of the soul make this book a basic teaching text, an introduction to psychotherapy, & a consistently quoted reference for pastoral counselling. A new edition prefaced in 1994 by the author who uses the occasion to revision this work that has been published in German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, & Dutch. From the Author's Postscript: "Maybe the soul isn't lost; it's just elsewhere, otherwise engaged. Maybe it's more involved with the way of the world than with your path of individuation. Maybe it's not too concerned with human relationships, human moods, human personality development. From the evidence of archaic peoples & ancient philosophies, soul was never altogether in the human arena. But its absence from that arena doesn't mean that it's lost."Hillman, James is the author of 'Insearch Psychology and Religion' with ISBN 9780882145129 and ISBN 0882145126.
