Description
Old age, the Swiss psychiatrist Adolf Guggenbuhl-Craig reminds us, is no picnic, though it does have its foolish delights. But why make the tribulations of old age worse by demanding from seniors compassionate understanding and golden-pond serenity?
Guggenbuhl wants to relieve the old of having to be wise and the young of wisdom worship.
Guggenbuhl shows that the myths pervade and corrupt our political life, psychological thought, and personal behavior. He demonstrates that Jungian psychology not only focuses on the private individual but also can make intelligent and original contributions to social and political thinking.
