Editorial Reviews

[Whitmont] has succeeded in what can only be called an act of creative translation. . . . The general reader will get what has not been available before, a clear and lucid statement of the Jungian position, that life has a pattern of wholeness which can only be comprehended symbolically at this moment in time.

"Whitmont...enriches the meaning of the myth of the self by taking us beyond the language of 'disease’ and 'symptom' into another language world, the world of 'dis-ease' and 'symbol' and 'therapeia’."—Inward Light
