"This work is a significant contribution to the field of Jung studies. It offers Neumann's unique perspectives as a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany who lived first in Zurich and then settled in Palestine. Of particular interest is Neumann's dialogue with Jung concerning the archetypes of Jewish culture and Jung's involvement with sychotherapists who remained in Germany after Hitler came to power." - Geoffrey Campbell Cocks, author of The State of Health: Illness in Nazi Germany
