King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine By: Robert L. Moore, Douglas Gillette September 1991, rep. ed. 192 pages Paperback ISBN: 0062506064

Review: Using common terminology and examples from contemporary movies, this book easily leads the reader through the thick, dense forest of archetype psychology as applied to the lives of present day men. Superbly delineating between aspects of boy psychology and their counterparts in mature men, the book also identifies factors critical to male psychic development that are severely at risk in our technology-driven, consumer oriented culture. Much of what the authors present can be extrapolated to girl/woman psychology. BearBook: #022   Entered: January 20, 1999 by dwc
