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.'\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003eRonald Higgins, Resurgence\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e`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 ...
