"The strongest impulse leading me to write this book is my conviction that the women's movement is, or should be, just as much a matter for men as for women. I want to react, to respond as one male human, to the discovery-described for the most part by women-that the history of humanity over the past several thousand years has also been a history of the oppression of women by men.From the viewpoint of many feminist authors-among whom I include myself, although with some hesitation-all men are oppressors and exploiters of women, not necessarily because they want to be, but because both men and women have become so used to the collective pattern of the oppressive man and the oppressed woman that they have to follow this schema even against their will. I would have a bad conscience if I did not attempt to voice this conviction. To do this, though, I have to risk such daring undertaking as to say what I understand women to be, and men to be….." -Helmut BarzTable of ContentsAre Women Really Like This?This Is What Men Are Like!Feminine and MasculineSexuality and ErosMother and ChildDaughters, Sons, Mothers, Fathers: Humanity and the Image of GodFeminism and Jungian Psychology: Toward a Productive Synthesis

Based on Jungian symbolic psychology, this book attributes an archetypal foundation to the ego defense mechanisms of psychoanalysis and describes the possibility that all psychological functions are creative or defensive. Analyzing Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus, Carlos Amadeu Botelho Byington describes envy as functioning creatively and defensively in the relationship between Mozart and Salieri. He demonstrates how psychoanalysis followed the biblical book of Genesis and the Christian doctrine of original sin and "scientifically" stigmatized envy. He asserts that this bias originated in severe cultural pathology, which greatly distorted the Christian myth by repressing creative envy because of its extraordinary revolutionary potential for individual and cultural development.This book defends the thesis that envy is a normal and important function for the development of Individual and Cultural Consciousness, and that it only becomes destructive when its creative function is frustrated.By analyzing the relationship between Mozart's genius and Salieri's creative insecurity, the author goes back to Genesis, to the concept of original sin in Christianity and to psychoanalysis to show that envy has been disdained and repressed in the history of humanity by the fear we have of our creative power. Envy is a sister of ambition. Both strive equally for development. Ambition stimulates the Ego, and envy covets what belongs to the other. Traditional Consciousness is manichaeistic and radically divides psychic functions into Good and Evil, right and wrong, beautiful and ugly. This obliges Consciousness to become unilateral, repressing the side it judges to be bad. The repressed contents form an intense shadow in the Unconscious, which are projected onto others and treated with hostility. This is the ternary and paranoid history of Humanity, in which the Ego sees Good and Evil in Others and not in itself.At the heart of Carlos Byington's thinking is his description of the Alterity Archetype. This is a four-sided pattern of Individual and Collective Consciousness in which the Ego becomes aware of the Consciousness-Shadow polarity in itself and in the Other. The Alterity Archetype is the paradigm of Love. Creativity, Social Democracy and Sustainable Economics. It enables us to see all psychic functions. including envy, acting for Good or for Evil, in Consciousness and the Shadow of Individuals and Culture.CARLOS AMADEU BOTELHO BYINGTON is a doctor, psychiatrist, educator and historian. He went to secondary school in the United States of America, qualified in medicine and psychiatry in Rio de Janeiro and completed his post-graduate studies at the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. On Returning to Brazil, in 1965, Byington expanded Jung's archetypal concept to include Individual and Collective Consciousness. In 1983, by studying the sociocultural transformation process in Latin America, he formulated the Archetypal Theory of History, based on the ideas of Hegel, Jung, Bachofen, and Erich Neumann's Mythological Theory of Consciousness. According to Byington, all psychic functions are archetypal structuring functions of consciousness. He attributes a central position to envy, as important as sexuality, love, strive for power, jealousy and fear.

Margritte is a poet of dreams. His painting present to the eye of the observer an enigma having the same coded density as the oneiric world.In a frenetic society that has given up dreams and fantasy, that is characterized by people rushing vertiginously ahead, like guinea pigs continually bombarded with stimuli rushing madly around their cage, the analyst's task is to recover the imaginary, the poetry of the soul, of the psyche. In this sense, the therapist must necessarily be portrayed as a wayfarer who lives life as if it were a never ending voyage. Every stop is marked by an encounter, at every stop a face awaits.And in that lost and bewildered stranger who asks to be shown the way, one begins traveling down a new stretch of the road. It is in the patient that the analyst finds the eagerly awaited fellow traveler.Table of ContentsIntroductionSearching for a ResponseRomantic RootsThe Paradox of RulesAs You Are (With the Kind Permission of Pirandello)The Difficult Art of Being Subjective The Lonely Path of the IndividualAn Excursion into the Analytical Field: Cultivating the RelationshipIn Search of the Primary Relationship Ties That Do Not BindA Starless Night: The Road to Desire The Analyst's Knowledge of Sentiment Gentle Repose BanishedJung in Unexplored TerritoryMore Talk About SentimentsScience Moves, But Reluctantly Homeless, Outlawed, and on the Road: On Our OwnIf This Be MadnessAn Epilogue: Magritte's "Therapist" BibliographyIndex

"Taking a numinous dream as her departure point, the author weaves her way through the mythological and religious amplifications of dream imagery to address issues of woman's soul and mind. She shows a feminine way of proceeding from the depth of lived experience that must undergird any approach to feminist theology. A meditative book and fascinating to read."-Ann Ulanov - co-author of The Witch and the Clown"Behold Woman is a powerful new interpretation of Jung's significance for feminist theology. It should be "must reading" for all seminarians and clergy."-Professor Robert Moore - Chicago Theology Seminary"The mode of following a dream in order to understand something so intimate as woman/ man in their relationships. is a splendid one ... Dr. Dunne· s final explication of Dionysius in terms of the four women with whom he was related, was nothing short of brilliant. I can take heart that women are looking for a more nourishing idiom than the political one. and there is no doubt that Carrin Dunne· s approach contributes mightily to that."-David Burrell. C.S.C. - University of Notre Dame"Carrin Dunn's new, indepth reflections on the feminine is well named: Behold Woman. It is indeed an approach to a more balanced and androgynous theology for our times. For theology to be theology the reflections must come from the depths of a lived conviction and situation. Carrin' s offerings here have a clear ring of that kind of truth with a freshness that is intriguing.She cites Eckhart and Lao Tzu as "thinkers in the feminine mode," under the aegis of soul. Her agile knowledge of Greek and other mythology keeps the reader wide awake as she swiftly moves from character to character with profound insight and application to herself and "everywoman."The book could well serve as a text for a deeper-than-ever study of the feminine from a Jungian and mythological perspective. drawing heavily on ancient myths, East and West.

At the same time, the book has an exemplary intellectual quality. -Andrew Samuels, Author, Jung and the Post-]ungiansThis book offers a basic exposition of Jung's psychology that is both simple and profound. It is a rare book and can be wholeheartedly recommended to both the beginner and the most advanced student of analytical psychology. -Thomas Kirsch, Vice President, International Association for Analytical PsychologyHumbert has a miraculous talent for clarifying some of the most difficult and complex ideas of Jung, while retaining the original flavor. His appreciation for paradox-such as illness and apparent health, health and apparent illness-brings us close to Jung's essence. -Rosemary Gordon, Editor, Journal of Analytical Psychology.
