Jungian, Archetype & Shadow Work

Barbara Hannah was a straightforward, modest, yet a grand woman, a lover of literature, and a colleague and friend of C. G. Jung, Emma Jung, and Marie-Louise von Franz. A first-generation Jungian psychologist, she was an original member of the Psychological Club of Zurich and a founder of the Jung Institute in Zurich.

This volume presents Barbara Hannah’s Jung Institute lectures of 1954-58. In these profound talks, she speaks of the archetypal symbolism of seven animals--cat, dog, horse, serpent, lion, bull, and cow--discussing their roles in the psychological and cultural life of the West.

Published originally in 1976, this work has become a classic retelling of Jung's life and work by one of his most dedicated followers and intimate friends. Now back in print, this work deserves to occupy a place of importance in every Jungian library.
