Review
Dr. Harding's book is one of the best expositions of Jung's psychology. She has succeeded well in making Jung less baffling and in destroying the frequently heard claim that he is inscrutable. The book is carefully and beautifully edited, as are all publications of the Bollingen Foundation. -- Psychiatric Quarterly
[This is] a sweeping psychological study, based on Jung, and a fascinating presentation that runs through mythologies, Yoga, alchemy and on down to modern religious practice. -- The Boston Sunday Globe

Psychic Energy -- a misleading title,
This review is from: Psychic Energy: Its Source and Its Transformation [Bollingen Series X] (Paperback)
Given today's New Age flavor, Esther Harding's title, Psychic Energy, could easily be misleading. Psychic Energy is not a New Age book, but a serious consideration of very deep human psychological and psyche conditions and conditioning. Esther Harding was a leading psychoanalyst in the 1920s. Her knowledge, experience and perceptions rank with Marion Woodman and Eric Erickson. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to probe more deeply into the human psyche for fresh explanations of who we are and how we come to be.

This review is from: Psychic Energy: Its Source and Its Transformation [Bollingen Series X] (Paperback)
As with most Jungian scholars the requirements for an understanding of the concepts being presented are formidable. Certainly Jung's "Two Essay's On Analytical Psychology", Collected Works vol. 7, "The Archetypes And The Collective Unconscious", Collected Works vol. 8 and "Psychology And Alchemy" Collected Works vol. 12 are a bare minimum for approaching "Psychic Energy: Its Source and Its Transformation". I would also suggest Marie-Louise von Franz' "Alchemy: An Introduction to the Symbolism and the Psychology", "Alchemical Active Imagination" and "Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales". William James' "Varieties Of Religious Experience" is also highly recommended. Having said that, this is an excellent presentation of the analytic experience and the demands it makes on the individual.
