Infos

This important book is a deep exploration of the relevance and workings of archetypes in our lives and in our work. It leads us along an archetypal developmental map to our authentic, natural self; to integrating our innate value, worth, and true authority; and to attaining our "e;Treasure Within."e;Seasoned therapists Diane Steinbrecher and Shannon Pernetti offer this well-written, carefully structured, creatively illustrated guide as a "e;treasure"e; map to the unfolding of our infinite potential. With The Treasure Within, they build on the work of giants in the fields of psychology and psychotherapy such as Carl Jung, Erich Neumann, and Michael Confort. In turn, they add to the growing understanding of archetypal dynamics at play in the world. For example, they use Erich Neumann's Archetypal Developmental Theory of consciousness and the application of Archetypal Pattern Analysis to light the way for exploring archetypal alignments and the patterns they create-and they explain how to shift those alignments and patterns into a more generative way of being. Specifically, re-integrating the aspects of self left behind during early life allows a shift that can lead into the later stages of adult development, bringing forth rich potential and "e;Gaining the Treasure"e; of the soul, its many gifts and true purpose in life. Clinicians as well as interested laypersons will come away from reading this rare book with insights into how to attain and richly experience the Treasure of Life and how to express the numerous gifts we each have to contribute to humanity.
