Although contemporaries, Carl Jung and Wilhelm Reich, two giants in the field of psychoanalysis, never met. What might have happened if they had is the inspiration behind this detailed investigation. Jung and Reich succinctly outlines each man's personality and compares their lives and their work, emphasizing points of convergence between them. John Conger provocatively puts Jung's mystical and psychological approach to spiritual disciplines on the same plane as Reich's controversial theories of "genitality" and character armor. The result is a heady "what if?" bound to intrigue and inspire readers.

These is and excelent edition, I'm very pleased with the font size. I originally would have preferred to buy a Kindle version of these book but It's not available yet (there is almost nothing of the junguian literature in Kindle format, lets hope Amazon keeps up with that soon
