"This book would be a treat for someone really interested in Jungian psychotherapy or for someone with a room full of clients they would like to counsel more effectively." —Elizabeth Nachtwey, SSC Booknews
"Consistently he is humorous, playful, serious, and even touching. The overall style of this text—with its quotations, diagrams, pictures, commentaries and cartoons—differs from other introductory books.... The diversity, scope, and at times, ambiguity of the material presented stimulates active interaction between the text and the reader." —Nancy Robinson, Psychological Perspectives
Dr. Wilmer had a talent for taking the most complex and esoteric elements of Jungian theory and explaining them in a straightforward, amusing, and engaging way. This sequel to Practical Jung offers humorous anecdotes and a wealth of useful information for teachers, therapists, social workers, pastoral counselors, and anyone who has ever wanted to better understand fundamental Jungian ideas.
