Archetype, Attachment, Analysis is a well-researched presentation of new material that offers a revision and reinterpretation of Jung's archetypal hypothesis. The author's ground breaking new exploration of expanding knowledge from other disciplines such as cognitive science and developmental psychology, and attachment theory and research evidence sheds important new light on Jungian theory and practice.
Using information gathered through laboratory investigations and natural observational studies Jean Knox brings the notion of archetypes up to date and considers the implications of new paradigms for clinical work with patients. This book will become essential reading for all professionals and students of analytical psychology.

Reviews

While. for me, the concept of the archetype retains an elusive quality, Jean Knox has helped me to understand and value it better than I did before through the links she has made outside her discipline. Her discussion of psychopathology and clinical practice is relevant, stimulating, and, I would say, necessary read for psychoanalytic Psychotherapists. - Christopher Clulow in The Journal of Analytical Psychology, June 2004
