The Woman in the Mirror: Analytical Psychology and the Feminine

This is an extensive study of the history and literature of Jungian psychology, especially in relation to women's psychology. Dr. Douglas shows how 20th century psychology viewed the feminine most often as "other," the shadow-realm for man's projections, for the uncanny, the ambiguous and the immature. She recovers heretofore forgotten theory and writers who hold a fairer and more healing view.
