<p><strong>Chapter ONE</strong> is is labeled "<strong><a href="http://www.magma.ca/~mfonda/ch1.html" target="_blank">Archetypal Theory and the Construction of Self"</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Chapter TWO</strong> delves into more of Hillman's work and also introduced that of the inimitable Ed Casey. This work is labeled <strong><a href="http://www.magma.ca/~mfonda/ch2.html" target="_blank">Imagination and Aesthetics: The Language of the Soul</a>.</strong> In Chapters ONE and TWO, the author states, "Hillman suggests that psychology begin not only to deconstruct traditional paradigms but also turn to such alternate notions as polytheism, aesthetics and feeling, soul, and imagination."</p>
<p><strong>Chapter THREE, <a href="http://www.magma.ca/~mfonda/ch3.html" target="_blank">The Feminist Critique of the Separated Self</a></strong>, looks at the "separated self" and <span>contemporary feminist theorists that help flesh out Catherine Keller's deconstruction of traditional western notions of selfhood....</span></p>
