The Life and Ideas of James Hillman: Volume I: The Making of a Psychologist: 1

In The Making of a Psychologist , we follow Hillman from his youth in the heyday of Atlantic City, through post-war Paris and Dublin, travels in Africa and Kashmir, and onward to Zurich and the Jung Institute, which appointed him its first director of studies in This first of a two-volume authorized biography is the result of hundreds of hours of interviews with Hillman and others over a seven-year period.

Yes, the "headline" is trite and doesn't do the experience of this audio journey justice. It is the second book of "revelations" dealing with Jung and his legacy that I've "read" recently.

Volume I: The Making of a Psychologist

Initially thought it might just be like any other biography In fact my first attempt at "reading" it, so to speak, was short! I got bored with the ancestry stuff I really liked this too. I did not regret taking it up again. I confess I cannot really write an adequate "review" of this book. It has, synchronistically, dovetailed in with my own journey, as I wrestle with the whole idea of "therapy", "pathology", "counselling" and, most importantly, SOUL.

The Life and Ideas of James Hillman

James Hillman, like Jung before him, was a maverick. I nearly wrote "IS" a maverick. He certainly lives on through his books.

They are mentors for those of us who are "mavericks" and "outsiders" and who are not content to simply toe the line with the status quo or settle for holding ego positions on ideas and beliefs, just so we can "belong" or "fit in" or, well, you know. I should not be surprised at the fact that Hillman has, via Dick Russell, revealed, what seems to be a brutally and wonderfully honest account of his experience in Zurich with "the Jungians" Like with most charismatic figures, the cult of Jung became entrenched and "The Jungian Institute" was the church Robert Johnson for one survived it.

What stands out MOST importantly is Hillman's own perceptive observations and understandings about the archetypal forces that were at play with regards his scapegoating. He always took that position, even when having the total force of what seems to be the forces of hell thrown at him; even when his accusers were unable to see their own projections and hypocrisy. And we also are told of how it affected him personally.

You won't be disappointed, especially if you are a maverick!
