Hartmann, Ernest MD, Dreams and Nightmares, The New Theory on the Origin and Meaning of Dreams. In this new momentous work, Dr. Hartmann, one of the world's foremost researchers on sleep and dreams, surpasses himself and not only build on, but even replaces the work of the master of dreams, Sigmund Freud--who 100 years ago published The Interpretation of Dreams--as he elucidates and illustrates a bold new theory on the origin and mean of dreams and nightmares. Ernest Hartmann, M.D., is currently Professor of Psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine and Director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts.

Hillman, James, Anima, An Anatomy of a Personified Notion. With 439 excerpts from the writings of C. G. Jung. From the Introduction: "This excursion is intended to supplement the main literature on the anima. Since that literature provides a goodly phenomenology of the experience of anima, I shall look here more closely at the rather neglected phenomenology of the notion of anima. ... In particular there seems to me to be a sentimentalism suffusing 'anima' which I suspect is embedded in the notion itself, thereby coloring pale and pink our experiences and the assessments of those experiences."

Hillman, James, Archetypal Psychology, A Brief Account. Archetypal psychology--what is it? In this basic introductory text to a major new development in psychology, Jams Hillman traces the intellectual ancestry of archetypal psychology and clarifies the root metaphors governing its practice. Includes a helpful bibliography of relevant books and papers, as well as a complete checklist of all James Hillman's writings to date. concise discussions of Soul-Making, Archetypal Images, Polytheism, the Soul-Spirit distinction, Image-Focused Therapy, Greek Myth and Psychopathology, and personality Theory will please both mind and soul while also soothing the reader's passage into Hillman's other writings.

Hillman, James, ed., Facing the Gods. Contains the following papers: Ananke & Athene by James Hillman; Artemis by Karl Kerenyi; Amazons by Rene Malamud; Hephaistos by Murray Stein; Rhea by David L. Miller; Hestia by Barbara Kirksey; Hermes by William Doty; Ariadne by Chris Downing; Dionysos by James Hillman. The Gods have become diseases, said C. G. Jung, and these nine chapters show how major figures of the Greek mythological imagination are still at work in the contemporary psyche. The material included is both reliably scholarly and intuitively psychological, offering the reader ways of finding mythical backgrounds for personal psychological experience in relationship, symptoms, ideas, attitudes, and dream imagery.

Hillman, James, Pan and the Nightmare; and Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher, Ephialtes, A Pathological-Mythological Treatise on the Nightmare in Classical Antiquity. From Hillman: "The monograph by Roscher which follows this essay is a classic example of nineteenth-century European scholarship. here we can follow a significant problem--both for scholarship and for life--amplified and analysed by a man of massive learning. This monograph is also an example of neglected learning. Like a pre-historic creature, the bulk and complexity of its appendages made it not viable for translation into another time and culture, so that it has remained an unread relic preserved in the bogs of academic libraries and only referred to in footnotes as a pre-formation of later works.

Jung, Emma, Animus and Anima. Two classic papers on the elemental persons of the psyche. Examines both as they appear in behavior, fantasies, dreams, and mythology. Accessible, incisive, and with plenty of practical counsel, this book maps a way toward the union of opposites and emergence of the Self. Includes a picture of the author. From the first chapter, On the Nature of the Animus: "The anima and the animus are two archetypal figures of especially great importance. They belong on the one hand to the individual consciousness and on the other hand are rooted in the collective unconscious, thus forming a connecting link or bridge between the personal and the impersonal, the conscious and unconscious."

Jung, C. G., The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. The ninth volume of C. G. Jung's collected writings is devoted to his chief works on the concept of the collective unconscious and its correlate, that of the archetypes. Part I consists of essays--written from 1933 onward--describing and elaborating the two concepts. The volume is introduced by three essays establishing the theoretical basis, followed by other describing specific archetypes. The relation of these to the process of individuation is defined in essays in the last section. Part II, entitled Aion and published separately, is devoted to an extended monograph on the archetype of the self as revealed in the 'Christian aeon.'

Jung, C. G., Aspects of the Feminine. This collection offers a range of articles and extracts from Jung's writings that convey his views on the feminine and on topics that are intrinsic or related: marriage, Eros, the mother, the maiden, and the anima/animus concept, which is a central feature of Jung's theory of personality structure. These selections, given in chronological order, date from 1921, when Jung devoted an important section of Psychological Types to a discussion of the veneration of woman in poetry, to 1951, when he presented a mature discussion of the intertwined concepts of shadow, anima, and animus in a late work, Aion.

Jung, C. G., Memories, Dreams, Reflections. Recorded and edited by Aniela Jaffe. In the spring of 1957, when he was eighty-one years old, C. G. Jung undertook the telling of his life story. At regular intervals he had conversations with his colleague and friend Aniela Jaffe, and collaborated with her in the preparation of the text based on these talks. On occasion, he was moved to write entire chapters of the book in his own hand, and he continued to work on the final stages of the manuscript until shortly before his death on June 6, 1961.

Jung, C. G., The Spirit in Man, Art, and Literature. In the nine essays that comprise this volume, written between 1922 and 1941, Jung's attention was directed mainly to the qualities of personality that enable the creative spirit to introduce radical innovations into realms as diverse as medicine, Oriental studies, the visual arts, and literature. "The relevance of Jungian psychology to the study of artistic and intellectual achievement has become widely recognized in recent years. [These studies] reveal the breadth of the great psychiatrist's interests and the regorous originality with which he attacked diverse manifestations of human creativity."--Virginia Quarterly Review.

Jung, C. G., Synchronicity, An Acausal Connecting Principle. Jung's only extended work in the field of parapsychology aims, on the one hand, to incorporate the findings of "extrasensory perception" research into a general scientific point of view and, on the other, to ascertain the nature of the psychic factor in such phenomena. While he had advanced the "synchronicity" hypothesis as early as the 1920's, Jung gave a full statement only in 1951, in an Eranos lecture; the following year (he was seventy-seven) he published the present monograph in a volume with a related study by the physicist (and Nobel winner) Wolfgang Pauli. Together with the wealth of historical and contemporary material on "synchronicity," Jung describes an astrological experiment conducted to test his theory.

Lopez-Pedraza, Rafael, Hermes and His Children. From Chapter 1: "The premise of this book is to reflect the psychic dynamism of Hermes, this evasive gods, in our daily lives. For this purpose, we shall turn to the classical legacy and to some scholarly works as well as today's film-makers and the daily news of the world in which we live. As a psychotherapist, naturally my reflections come from my practice of a psychotherapy that gives a first rank to Hermes and whose main concern is with psychic movement:--either we move psychically or we stagnate. I want to give to Hermes and his sometimes odd imagery an essential place in psychotherapy, to connect a hermetic imagination to healing, and to conceive the therapist as an image-maker.

Stein, Murray, In MidLife, A Jungian Perspective. Midlife: crisis, anger, dissolution, change... Drawing on analytic experience, dreams, and mythology, Murray Stein, well-known Jungian analyst and author, formulates three main features of the midlife passage. It begins with an erosion of attachment to the world, as if an inner treaure had been thieved away. This is followed by hints of a fresh spirit, renegade, mischievous, that scoffs at established routines. This new spirit--whom we must call Hermes--disrupts life and alarms family and friends. Finally, with luck a deep transformation occurs, as the personality adjusts to the flux of Hermes and receives his gifts. I read this book while going through midlife and after five years of Freudian psychotherapy, and was absolutely blown away by its revelations.

Stein, Murray, Jung's Map of the Soul. While scientists and astronauts have explored and mapped the physical universe, Carl Jung and the analytical psychologists who followed up his work have begun to chart the vast inner world of the human psyche. Earlier surveys of Jung's ideas have been difficult to follow, or have lacked unity. Murray Stein gives us the whole formidable sweep of Jung's thought, presenting Jung as simultaneously a dedicated scientist, a creative artist, and a seer in the tradition of Eckhart and Blake. Absolutely the best guide through the essentials of Jungian psychology in print.
