Facing the Gods

The gods have become diseases, said C. G. Jung, and the nine chapters in this volume show how major figures of the Greek mythological imagination are still at work in the contemporary psyche. This book is both reliably scholarly and intuitively psychological. It offers the reader ways of finding mythical backgrounds for personal experience. Here we can feel how the gods and goddesses influence symptoms, ideas, attitudes, relationships, and dream imagery.
