Sommario/riassunto

Jung devoted much of his attention to the psychology of death, re-birth and transformation. The author acknowledges his creative spirit and the depth of his understanding in this discussion of the many customs, myths, stories and beliefs that surround death and dying. The author shows that a fear of death can deprive us of potential sources of creativity, as these are hindered by paralyzing fears. 200 pages.
