We
Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love
Robert A. Johnson
"WE retells the myth of Tristan and Iscult, one of the earliest romance tales, and uses it as a reference point to explain the essence and meaning of romantic love. Employing Jungian philosophy, Robert A. Johnson uncovers many of the unconscious beliefs about love shared by both sexes and shows how these attitudes are expressed symbolically in the Tristan myth. He then breaks down the illusions we often have of love myths in themselves and beautifully redefines what love should and can be. An elegantly constructed, superior inquiry into the psychology of love."
-ALA Booklist
"WE is unusually well written, clear, and most instructive in its content. It should readily appeal to a wide audience."
-Library Journal
"For admirers of Jungian interpretation, Johnson's WE is a valuable contribution, a companion piece to Erich Neumann's Amor and Psyche, the classic examination of the role love plays in the psychological growth of women. If you are unfamiliar with Jungian thought, you will find this book an interesting,
clear. an id accessible introduction to à model of the mind and culture that can be more personally 'sustaining than Freud's.
If you have ever been in love or wished to be, WE is a revealing account of the profound meaning of the experience; it is an exciting map for the journey to greater consciousness.
