The Collected Writings of Murray Stein - Volume 2: Myth and Psychology
Dr. Murray Stein’s prolific career has produced a substantial body of writings, lectures, and interviews. His writings, captured in these volumes, span a wide domain of topics including Christianity, individuation, midlife, the practice of analytical psychology, and topics in contemporary society. His deep understanding of analytical psychology is much more than an academic discourse, but rather a deeply personal study of Jung that spans nearly half a century.
Volume 2 looks at Mythology through a Jungian lens. Dr. Stein examines a vast array of mythologic figures. Cronos the devouring Olympian father, Hephaistos with his powerful creativity, and Narcissus with his legendary vanity, are just a few of the archetypal figures he pursues. The passage through midlife and its mythological nuances is portrayed with astute attention to the liminal space it embodies. Mythology is ripe with transformative symbols reaching deep into our unconscious. Dr. Stein masterfully unpacks the archetypal cores from within as he guides us through this transformation.
