It is an attempt at a psychology of soul, an essay in re-visioning psychology from the point of view of soul. This book is therefore old-fashioned and radically novel because it harks back to the classical notions of soul and yet advances ideas that current psychology has not even begun t consider. Because the soul cannot be understood through psychology alone, our vision even leaves the field of psychology as it is usually thought of, and moves widely through history, philosophy, and religion. |

| Publisher Description: This groundbreaking classic explores the necessity of making connections between our life and soul and developing the main lines of the soul-making process. Hillman: - argues that modern science wrongly ignores religion- asserts the necessity of spirituality in psychology and the idea of soul-making- argues that modern psychology has wrongly ignored religion, and proposes a new psychology infused with spirituality.- points out that therapy is really soul-making, and psychologists must recognize that the human psyche longs for connection with the immortal.- draws on Greek and Renaissance philosophers as well as the ideas of Freud and especially Jung, in outlining the process of soul-making |
