Archetype

`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
