Celtic Queen Maeve And Addiction: An Archetypal Perspective by Jungian psychoanalyst Sylvia Brinton Perera is a scholarly, serious look at the phenomenon of addiction utilizing the mythological stories and images of the Celtic Queen/Goddess Maeve. Highly researched and presenting a complex, multi-dimensional view of a very human problem and social ill, Celtic Queen Maeve And Addiction offers a fascinating dichotomy presentation that seeks to better understand the nature of addiction and the symbols of addiction. A close and extensively detailed look at how a figure in ancient Celtic lore relates to modern times. Celtic Queen Maeve And Addiction is an impressive and insightful contribution to the literature of psychoanalysis, addiction, and Jungian Studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Inspiring, May 6, 2007

This review is from: Celtic Queen Maeve and Addiction: An Archetypal Perspective (Jung on the Hudson Book Series) (Paperback)

This is an excellent discussion of Celtic mythology and the female archetype. I am not an expert on either archetypes or Jungian psychotherapy, but I still found this book utterly AMAZING. I could relate to many of Perera's clients' stories. So, from an ordinary person off the streets, let me send my highest praise to Perera for an EXCELLENT book.
