Summary

American Jungian analyst trained in Zurich who wrote Jung's Map of the Soul (the best introduction to Jungian psychology), In MidLife, Transformation (on the structure of psychological change), and Solar Conscience/Lunar Conscience — one of the most prolific and accessible Jungian writers.

Core Contribution

Provides the clearest accessible overview of Jungian psychology — Jung's Map of the Soul systematically explains the major concepts in relation to each other — and articulates the structure of psychological transformation: the liminal period between the old identity and the new one, with its characteristic dissolution and uncertainty.
