My book deals on the relationship of mythology to psychology, mainly with the the psychology of C.G. Jung, the collective unconscious and the archetypes. Gods are considered expressions of basic human needs and features, and mythology can describe in a clear way the manifestations of the unconscious. The book was originally published in Portuguese, in Brazil, and quickly sold out two editions. The book is been published now in a Spanish translation.

Is therapy's relational turn only something to celebrate? It is a major worldwide trend taking place in all the therapy traditions. But up to now appreciation of these developments has not been twinned with well-informed and constructive critique. Hence practitioners and students have not been able to engage as fully as they might with the complex questions and issues that relational working presents. Relational Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis and Counselling: Appraisals and reappraisals seeks to redress this balance.
In this unique book, Del Loewenthal and Andrew Samuels...

What can depth psychology and politics offer each other?
In "The Political Psyche" Andrew Samuels shows how the inner journey of analysis and psychotherapy and the passionate political convictions of the outer world are linked. He brings an acute psychological perspective to bear on public themes such as the market economy, environmentalism, nationalism, and anti-Semitism. But, true to his aim of setting in motion a two-way process between depth psychology and politics, he also lays bare the hidden politics of the father, the male body, and of men's issues generally. A special feature...
