Living between worlds : finding personal resilience in changing times / James Hollis. - xiii, 167 pages ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
When the old map disappears -- Life in the between -- What is depth psychology, and why does it matter? -- Three essential principles of depth psychology -- Antigone, Hamlet, and Prufrock : case studies in the search for personal resilience -- What is healing? -- The maiden with no hands : a psycho-mythic interlude on gender -- Navigating changing times -- A map to meaning : what we can learn from Jung -- Afterword : homecoming.
"Living Between Worlds speaks to the deeply unsettled feeling many of us have in the face of the chaos of our modern age, to the sense that something has died and its replacement has yet to be reborn. With relevant examples from his personal life, his practice, classical literature, and fairy tales, Hollis makes a compelling case for depth psychology as the weather-proofing we need for the winds of change. He places our current collective distress in the context of the scope of Western Civilization, and calls on us to find within ourselves, both collectively and individually, the resources to navigate our discomfort with change and uncertainty. In the end he comes to the conclusion that humanity has always survived times of upheaval, and offers hope that we will make it through these times to a new world, just as our ancestors did before us"--
