This collection of essays examines the way complexes and archetypes manifest in the particulars of our personal and social lives. Through theoretical chapters and practical case analyses, the book's authors provide key insights which address questions of personal identity, gender in the psyche, individuation in the unmarried, to have or not to have children, the mythical dimensions of university unrest, as well as the psychological significance of video games, pop culture icons, and declining rates of participation in organized religion. This important contribution to the emerging field of Jungian psycho-social studies shows how complexes and archetypes remain relevant to a society which is profoundly different from Jung's own.
