Re-Visioning Education: James Hillman in Theory and Practice

By Ruth Meyer

James Hillman is widely regarded as the founder of Archetypal Psychology and a key figure in re-visioning Jungian thought. His book The Soul's Code, published in 1996, could have revolutionized the ways we think about education. Instead, his radical ideas on the subject have remained unexplored, despite their potential for helping today's therapists and educators to understand student'' behaviors. The reason for this oversight is that Hillman's educational ideas are scattered as fragments throughout his published and unpublished writings, recorded lectures, and interviews. The purpose of this book by Ruth Meyer is to bring those fragments together into a coherent whole. Meyer explores and extends Hillman's ideas, offering novel and liberating insights into the hidden, invisible, shadow nature of common student struggles within the walls of Western academic institutions.
