About the Author:
The pioneering imaginative psychology of James Hillman that soon will span five decades has entered cultural history, affecting lives and minds in a wide range of fields. For the creativity of his thinking, the originator of Archetypal Psychology and author of A Terrible Love of War; The Soul's Code; and The Force of Character has received many honors, including the Medal of the Presidency of the Italian Republic. He has held distinguished lectureships at Yale, Princeton, Chicago, and Syracuse Universities, and his books have been translated into some twenty languages. The American public showed its appreciation of his approach to psychology by placing his book, The Soul's Code, at the top of the bestseller list of serious works of nonfiction. Of his many books, Spring Publications has published Anima, Loose Ends, Archetypal Psychology: A Brief Account, Pan and the Nightmare, Suicide and the Soul, Insearch, Oedipus Variations (with Karl Kerényi), The Thought of the Heart and the Soul of the World, Inter Views, and Lectures on Jung's Typology (with Marie-Louise von Franz). He lives in Connecticut.
Review:
Freud, Jung, and Adler‹post-Jungian Hillman stresses the metaphorical and mythic core of each man's work. All three . . . were often aware of the fictional nature of their theory and practice. Yet, argues Hillman, it is only when a fiction is taken literally that it becomes a lie, hence the double meaning of the title. Our symptoms and fixations are symbolic constructs; when our visions harden into dogmatic realties we become sick. -Library Journal
