IMO the main interest of Spring 1988 is the confrontation Wolfgang Giegerich/ James Hillman, which was to become sharper in the few coming years ending in a a serious divergence: Wolfgang Giegerich's critics to Archetypal Psychology could be considered -as David L. Miller pointed- in a third wave in Junguian Psychology, being C. G. Jung and James Hillman the first two waves. These divergences are already noticeable in the clever response "Effort? Yes, Effort!" addresedd by Giegerich to Hillman's article "Hegel, Giegerich and the U.S.A" (both articles are included in Spring 1988)l. These two pieces of writing make this number of Spring especially treasurable.
OTOH, it's worth to remark Hillman's article: "Going Bugs", as well as Giegerich's "The Invention of Explosive Power and the Blueprint of the Bomb. A Cjhap`ter in the Imaginal Pre-History of Our Nuclear Predicament".

More than 20 years has already passed, and several articles included in Spring 1988 show their age, but those previously mentioned are important even from an historical perspective on Archetypal Pschology and the "new" dialectic trend initiated by Wolfgag Giegerich.
