Opis

'Childhood Re-imagined' considers Carl Jung's psychological approach to childhood and argues that his symbolic view deserves a place between the more traditional scientific and social-constructionist views of development.

Recenzje

"Shiho Main has given us the most important Jungian work on childhood in recent years. Unlike other writers she manages to bridge the 'developmental' and the symbolic archetypal and  bring the concept of the child up-to-date socially and politically. Seldom is Jungian writing so comprehensive and informing. This is essential reading for psychotherapists, psychologists, trainees and everyone concerned with what 'childhood' means in our time." - Christopher Hauke, Goldsmiths College, University of London, Author of Jung and the Postmodern and Human Being Human, Culture and the Soul.
