Thoughtful, intelligent and sensitive exploration of subject

Kane has crafted a thoughtful, intelligent and sensitive exploration of a Jungian approach to working with issues of incest. She uses examples from her obviously extended experience of working with female survivors of incest to put forward a convincing argument for the importance of a Jungian perspective in working with issues of incest. This book is, I would imagine, primarily aimed at therapists, although it is accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject. Kane's narrative has a depth and a richness to it that allows the reader to get a strong sense of her arguments. She draws on an evidently extensive knowledge of mythology and archtypes to explain and illustrate her points, and her writing is poetic and evocative as well as scholarly and well argued.
