The Symbolic Quest: Basic Concepts of Analytical Psychology

In this highly acclaimed work Edward C. Whitmont explores C.G. Jung’s revolutionary discoveries about the archetypal world and the self, offering practical insights into the process of healing and transformation.  Describing life as a dramatic story in which all our experiences take on meaning, Whitmont stresses the need to encounter that story’s symbolic underpinnings not only intellectually but also emotionally.  He has added material amplifying the importance of one’s relationship to collectivity and community and conveying new interpretations of classical Jungian thinking on gender archetypes.
