Some of the ideas are outdated, but that shouldn't stop you from picking this up if you are clinician working with couples. Jungian ideas are very popular today, and for good reason. Our society has entered into a state of absurdity, and symbolic language is the only way out.

Книга по юнгианской терапии семейных пар. Первая половина книги классная, яркие образы «ведьмы» и «героя», объяснения почему люди отыгрывают эти комплексы.

Очень здорово раскрываются проблемы, которые иначе можно назвать просто занятостью или закрытостью.

Яркие моменты:
- тк именно женщины занимаются воспитанием детей, то со временем оолоч жендины обретает властные тона. Женщина одновременно и властная, и ранимая, и это конфликт
- у женщины в состоянии ведьмы и неразвитом анимусе (да простите меня спецы в этом вопросе за формулировки), может в качестве авттритетов быть только мать или другие женщины. Они идентифицируют себя с ними и делают аналогично «моя мать так делала», им сложно найти свое мнение


Классная цитата: тот кто не читает историю, вынужден ее повторять
