Pages : 192
Book Description
The bestselling, widely heralded, Jungian introduction to the psychological foundation of a mature, authentic, and revitalized masculinity. Redefining age-old concepts of masculinity, Jungian analysts Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette make the argument that mature masculinity is not abusive or domineering, but generative, creative, and empowering of the self and others. Moore and Gillette clearly define the four mature male archetypes that stand out through myth and literature across history: the king (the energy of just and creative ordering), the warrior (the energy of aggressive but nonviolent action), the magician (the energy of initiation and transformation), and the lover (the energy that connects one to others and the world), as well as the four immature patterns that interfere with masculine potential (divine child, oedipal child, trickster and hero). King, Warrior, Magician, Lover is an exploratory journey that will help men and women reimagine and deepen their understanding of the masculine psyche.

Book Description
"An extension of Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette's theory about the underlying structures and dynamics of the male psyche, The Magician Within explores the psyche's spiritual side and its qualities of insight, wisdom, and healing." "The authors present the psychological dynamics of the "Magician program," which enables men to move from boyhood into manhood in a positive, self-affirmative way, then enables them to help others, and they illustrate its universal presence in virtually all human societies. Next, they explore the Shadow, or destructive side, of this male potential, and ask men to look at themselves and their own lives to see how they may be caught in the destructive dynamics of either the Detached Manipulator or the Innocent One." "Then, readers are invited to use their capacities for thoughtful self-reflection to access the Shaman in themselves for fuller and more generative lives."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Pages : 32
Book Description
THE STORY: A husband goes to his office politely asking if his wife's lover will be coming today. She murmurs 'Mmmm,' and suggests he not return before six. In order not to return before six he will no doubt visit a prostitute. A competition is glossily established. When the lover does come, he is the husband, which is not surprising. The kind of sex-play follows that suggests this is the necessary titillation, and the necessary release ofhostility, between a man who means to be master of the house and a wife who means to be both wife and mistress, whatever the house may be. But there is a flaw in the accommodation. The lover is weary of his mistress; she is no longer particularly appetizing. By the time he returns, as husband, in the evening, his wife is still disturbed by the news. The performance of the afternoon has begun to carry over into the reality (or pretense) of the evening. Suddenly the husband is not quite husband, diffident over his drink. He is blurring into the lover, at the wrong hour, and angrily. The wife must seduce him now as wife, not as mistress. She does. -NY Herald-Tribune.
