Book Description
Two groundbreaking essays launch Archetypal Psychology in a new direction: toward the world. Hillman calls this "a depth psychology of extraversion"—a therapy beyond the consulting room and private relationships, opening the heart-felt conncection to the world.
To restore the heart's courage and its imaginative power, the soul of the world needs the same attention that we have been giving to the soul of persons. There is a soul quality to all things in the environment, whether "natural" or "manmade." These essays show how to regain, and live of, heart and soul.
