Archetypal psychology is a post-Jungian mode of theory and practice
initiated primarily through the prolific work of James Hillman.
Hillman's writing carries a far-reaching collection of evocative
ideas with a wealth of vital implications for the field of clinical
psychology. With the focus on replacing the dominant fantasy of a
scientific psychology with psychology as logos of soul, archetypal
psychology has shifted the focus of therapy away from cure of the
symptom toward vivification and expression of the mythopoetic
imagination. This book provides the reader with an overview of the
primary themes taken up by archetypal psychology, as differentiated
from both classical Jungian analysis and Freudian derivatives of
psychoanalysis. Throughout the text, Jason Butler gathers the
disparate pieces of archetypal method and weaves them together with
examples of dreams, fantasy images and clinical vignettes in order
to depict the particular style taken up by archetypal
psychotherapy-a therapeutic approach that fosters an expansion of
psychological practice beyond mere ego-adaptation and coping,
providing a royal road to a life and livelihood of archetypal
significance. Archetypal Psychotherapy: The clinical legacy of
James Hillman will be of interest to researchers and academics in
the fields of Jungian and archetypal psychology looking for a new
perspective, as well as practising psychotherapists.
