Recenzje

"... key concepts are set out in a clear and unambiguous manner within each chapter, with technical terms carefully and clearly explained in order to help frame the arguments presented... van den Berk has done an admirable job in extracting key material from the volumes published by Jung, in order to present a very clear exposition on the topic. ...A timely and important contribution to the field, I expect this book to become a key text for all those involved in the practice and reception of art viewed from a psychological perspective." - David Parker, International Journal of Jungian Studies, November 2012
