5.0 out of 5 stars A classic Jungian analysis of the contrasexual complexes, November 8, 2002

This review is from: Animus and Anima in Fairy Tales (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts, 100) (Paperback)

Written by Marie-Louise von Franz (a colleague of Jung who worked closely with him for nearly thirty years), and capably edited by Daryl Sharp for contemporary readers, Animus And Anima In Fairy Tales is a classic Jungian analysis of the contrasexual complexes (animus and anima) as found in fairy tales, and what these say about the human mindset and human behavior. A profound, philosophical, college-level dissection of deep-seated motivational concepts in a powerful form of literature, Animus And Anima In Fairy Tales is a welcome and recommended addition to Jungian Psychology Studies reading list or reference collection.
