In Midlife: A Jungian Perspective (Seminar Series 15)

Midlife: crisis, anger, dissolution, adventure, change ... Drawing on analytic experience, dreams, and myths, Murray Stein formulates the main features of the middle passage. First an erosion of attachments. Then hints of a fresh spirit--renegade and mischievous--hat scoffs at routines. This new spirit disrupts life and alarms family and friends. Finally, with luck, transformation occurs; life begins again.

Murray Stein, past president of the International Association of Jungian Analysts, has written a best-selling, good-humored book, brimming with shrewd counsel and cultural relevance.
