Transformation
Understanding the Three Levels of Masculine Psychology
Robert A. Johnson
In Transformation Robert Johnson, the brilliant and pioneering author of He, She, and We, has created an innovative and dynamic model for psychological development. Here is the key to a new understanding of the stages of personal growth by which we can achieve maturity and wholeness.
Using three quintessential figures from classical literature -Don Quixote, Hamlet, and Faust--Johnson shows us three clearly defined stages of consciousness development. He demonstrates how the true work of maturity is to grow through these three levels to the selfrealized state of completion and harmony.
We are all Don Quixote, Hamlet, and Faust at various stages of our lives. They represent levels of consciousness that live inside us, wing for dominance, one winning one moment, another the next. Don Quixote is the innocent child in us all, unaware of life's pain. Hamlet is our self conscious need to act and be in control but with no real connection to our innerself. Finally, it is Faust who shows us the need to reclaim consciousness from the sea of the unconscious, and so master our true selves.
ROBERT A. JOHNSON is a noted lecturer and Jungian analyst. His other books include Inner Work, Ecstasy, and Femininity lost and Regained.
