Explores the role that mythology plays in human identity

Mythologems: incarnations Of The Invisible World by Jungian scholar and analytical psychologist James Hollis explores the role that mythology plays in human identity and understanding, from early civilization to the modern day. With especial focus upon transcendental archtypes of the child, the parents, the hero task, gods, and death/ascent or death/rebirth, Mythologems reveals the stunning extent upon which people depend upon explanations, comfort, and stories absorbed at an early age. A fascinating discourse that dwells upon the profound impact principles of Jungian psychology have on everyday life.
