Archetypal Imagination

‘Archetypal Imagination finds wonderful new ways to bless psychopathology. Rich with good learning and clear writing.”
– James Hillman, author of The Soul’s Code

‘I like Noel Cobb’s outcries on behalf of ferocity, loneliness, anxiety, “the hideous hag of life”, beauty sitting in the lap of terror, Edvard Munch’s paintings and Garcia Lorca’s panther-like poems – let’s have more.’
– Robert Bly, author of Iron John and The Sibling Society

‘In this richly stuffed book, Cobb takes psychology to the threshold and invites it into the world, where the artist is bold enough to live, where its language may have more life and its images more independence.’
– Thomas Moore, author of The Care of the Soul and Original Self: Living with Paradox and Originality
