Publisher's Synopsis
Swiss Psychologist C.G. Jung's depth psychology provides a relevant framework for understanding and dealing with the psychological roots of the modern world's ecological problems. Using the concepts of archetypes, the collective unconscious, repression, archaic consciousness, personal and collective shadows, and individuation, Yunt demonstrates how each has implications for the advancement of an ecopsychological approach to the psyche and our understanding of the world. Perhaps most importantly, Yunt illustrates how Jung's psychological research allows us to envision the interpenetration of psyche, nature, and spirit, thus bridging the modern epistemological gap that has developed between them in the Western world.
