Jung's 'archetypes of the collective unconscious' have traditionally remained the property of analytical psychology, and have commonly been dismissed as 'mystical' by scientists. But Jung himself described them as biological entities, which, if they exist at all, must be amenable to empirical study. In the work of Bowlby and Lorenz, and in studies of the bilateral brain, Anthony Stevens has discovered the key to opening up this long-ignored scientific approach to the archetypes, originally envisaged by Jung. At last, in a creative leap made possible by the cross-fertilisation of several specialist disciplines, psychiatry can be integrated with psychology, with ethology and biology. The result is an immensely enriched science of human behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eArchetype Revisited\u003c\/i\u003e, Stevens considers the enormous cultural, social and intellectual changes that have taken place since the publication of the original edition, and includes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- An updated chapter on The Archetypal Masculine and Feminine, reflecting recent research findings and developments in feminist thinking;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Commentary on the intrusion of neo-Darwinian thinking into psychology and psychiatry;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Analysis of what has happened to the archetype in terms of our understanding of it and our responses to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Classic Edition of the book includes a new introduction by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51327983878417,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51327986368785,"sku":"CIN1894574060VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51686815531281,"sku":"CIN1894574060G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1894574060.jpg?v=1751347362"},{"product_id":"heinrich-von-kleist-the-dramas-and-stories-book-anthony-stephens-9780854967087","title":"Heinrich Von Kleist: The Dramas and Stories","description":"Heinrich von Kleist has emerged as one of the great literary figures of his era, yet surprisingly few critical studies of his works exist in English.

The importance of the poems as a collection lies in the fact that they were written during the period of composition of Rilke's most outstanding work, the Duinese Elegien, and they show the poet at work on ideas and motifs which are central to the elegies. The first part of the book analyses the poems thematically, whilst the second part gives the results of this analysis wider application. During the period Rilke was writing Gedichte an die Nacht, the meaning of 'night' in the Elegies often approaches that of 'angel', whilst at other times it is quite different. Dr Stephens traces the genesis of this ambivalence in other poems, revealing the incomplete and sometimes contradictory nature of his poetic thought.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52479073222929,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52479074468113,"sku":"NLS9780521155564","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780521155564.jpg?v=1759848128"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-anthony-stephens.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
