Description

Commonly dismissed as mystical by scientists, archetypes were described by Jung as biological entities, which have evolved through natural selection, and which, if they exist at all, must be amenable to empirical study. Anthony Stevens has discovered the key to opening up this long-ignored scientific approach to the archetype.
Reviews

`I recommend Dr Stevens' book as one of the best introductions to (Jung's) thought and its practical applications.' - Dr Anthony Storr, Times Literary Supplement

`A remarkable book.' - Eliot Slater

`A major contribution to Jungian studies.' - Dr Glin Bennett, British Medical Journal

`Dr Anthony Stevens has made a major contribution to Jungian studies as well as indicating the common ground between seemingly incompatible disciplines.' - Dr Glin Bennet, BMJ

`At last, a well written definitive book on C.G. Jung's archetypes.' - Time-News

` ... Stevens writes not only with clarity but with refreshing personal commitment (even self-exposure). In combining Jungian and ethological approaches the author draws together a very wide range of fascinating material from the study of animal and human behaviour, from therapeutic work with many patients and from recent neuro-logical research. The greater part of the book, however, is devoted to perceptive and invaluable studies of the archetypes in practice - the archetype of the family, the mother, the father, of the masculine and the feminine and, most illuminatingly, of the `shadow' side of all of us.' - Ronald Higgins, Resurgence

`Every science breeds its own vocabulary ... is a mark of grace in the author of this fascinating book that he plays fair; he provides a glossary ... Most readers, I think will find something that speaks to their condition and gives them something to chew over on a sleepless night.' - Sydney Carter, The Tablet

`... exceedingly rich book... very worthwhile reading as Stevens produces a clear elucidation of archetypal theory and also demonstrates its sound clinical and practical application.' - Elizabeth Gee, British Journal of Psychiatry

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
