About the Author

Maureen Murdock is the best-selling author of The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness, a ground-breaking work which revealed a broader understanding of the female psyche on both a personal and cultural level and was Murdock's response to Joseph Campbell's A Hero with a Thousand Faces. When Murdock showed Campbell her book, he said, "Women don't need to make the journey." Murdock's readers around the world have shown that he's wrong! A Jungian psychotherapist and creative writing teacher, Murdock is also the author of The Heroine's Journey Workbook, Spinning Inward: Using Guided Imagery with Children, and Unreliable Truth: On Memoir and Memory, a seminal work about memoir and what's involved in writing a memoir. Her books have been translated into over a dozen languages and she lectures internationally. Follow her blog, Hooked on Hope, on www.maureenmurdockblog.com.
