Publisher's summary

James Hillman studied with the great Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung in the 1950s and later became the first director of studies at the Jung Institute in Zurich. After returning to the United States in 1980, he taught at Yale, Syracuse, and the universities of Chicago and Dallas.

They come from the environment, the cities, the economy, the racism. They come from architecture, school systems, capitalism, exploitation. They come from many places that psychotherapy does not address. Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: You are the one who is wrong. What if the problem is not inside the person, but inside the society?

This lecture and discussion examines the uses of psychotherapy and what the future may hold for psychology.

Hillman is essential, wise

he shares his wise views to the benefit of a world that loses itself in the solving of problems rather than the sensible perception of how things feel leading us to solutions. His counter balance of the aesthetic being a birthplace of discontent rather than it being solely owed to personal demons is a tonic, which continues to resonate especially today.
