Editorial Reviews

While. for me, the concept of the archetype retains an elusive quality, Jean Knox has helped me to understand and value it better than I did before through the links she has made outside her discipline. Her discussion of psychopathology and clinical practice is relevant, stimulating, and, I would say, necessary read for psychoanalytic Psychotherapists. - Christopher Clulow in The Journal of Analytical Psychology, June 2004
