Five papers by James Hillman, Erich Neumann, Murray Stein, Augusto Vitale, and Vera Von Der Heydt examine the archetypal background of family psychology.
"How are we to protect our children from ourselves, if conscious will and conscious effort are of no avail? There can be no doubt that it is of the utmost value for parents to view their children’s symptoms in the light of their own problems and conflicts. It is their duty as parents to do so. Their responsibility in this respect carries with it the obligation to do everything in their power not to lead a life that could harm the children. Generally far too little stress is laid upon how important the conduct of the parents is for the child, because it is not words that count, but deeds. Parents should always be conscious of the fact that they themselves are the principal cause of neurosis in their children." - C. G. JUNG
About the Author(s)
James Hillman (1926–2011) was a psychologist, scholar, international lecturer, and the author of numerous books. A Jungian analyst and the originator of post-Jungian ""archetypal psychology"", he held teaching positions at Yale University, Syracuse University, the University of Chicago and the University of Dallas.
Erich Neumann, one of C.G. Jung's pupils, was among the most creative in building on Jung's work and carrying it forward in new explorations and syntheses. Before he met Jung he was trained in philosophy and medicine. He was also a poet and novelist. A native of Germany, he completed his medicinal studies in Berlin but, owing to the activities of the Nazis, left Germany in 1934 and, after studying with Jung in Zurich, emigrated to Tel Aviv. His range of understanding is apparent in his writings of which the major works have been translated into English. These include: The Great Mother; Art and the Creative Unconscious; Depth Psychology and a New Ethic and The Child: Structure and Dynamics of the Nascent Personality.
Murray Stein is a training and supervising analyst at The International School of Analytical Psychology Zurich, Switzerland. He is the author of many articles and books.
