This fascinating new book explores the puella as an archetypal,
symbolic and personality figure reaching into the classical
foundations of Jungian analytical psychology, focusing on the modern
conflicts reverberating personally and culturally to remove the
obstacles for accessing our more complete selves. Puella is youthful,
charming and seductive and unfolds the creative, unusual wisdom of the
feminine. Postmodern fluidity presents other realities, rethinking and
reenacting the truth to oneself. If denigrated, psyche is halted from
development, until addressed. The author employs a
cross‑disciplinary approach and clinical vignettes from narratives
of real people from diverse backgrounds reflecting Jungian thought and
treatment, along with other psychoanalytical perspectives for the
unfolding of puella. Examining the puella as a key figure in
psychological development within a diverse world, this book will be
appealing to Jungian analysts, and also to mental health professionals
of various paradigms interested in Jungian analytical and
philosophical thought.
