 Read Erich Neumann instead February 15, 2010
heart and soul (los angeles)
If you are truly interested in the psychology of the feminine, Erich Neumann's study of the myth of Amor (Eros)and Psyche is by far a better book, indeed probably the best explication ever written on what the feminine is, and why it is essential to develop and integrate the feminine, within both the female and the male mind. Johnson's work, like his others, is not without merit, but like all his books, it is a very slim volume, even with double-spaced lines, and seems to be aimed at the layperson who has minimal background. It relies heavily on examples culled from his practice as a psychologist to explain/illustrate the ideas he puts forth, but he fails to give credit to all the thinkers upon whose shoulders he stands: shocking! there is no bibliography. In contrast, Neumann's book is a scholarly work, but it is quite accessible. It provides both the actual Greek myth of Amor and Psyche and a cogent and deeply revealing explication of the myth's meaning. If you have an interest in Jungian archetypes and in becoming as individuated as you can be, I strongly recommend that you forgo this book in favor of Neumann's book.

Robert Johnson, in his book "she" explores the pathway to mature femininity. To name a few, Robert Johnson teaches:
1)how to be a real mature woman and use masculine energy while staying centered in feminine identity( characteristic that is lacking in modern women because...);
2)the importance of sorting out one's responsibilities (characteristic that is lacking in modern women..);
3) how to deal with jealousy, greed, suspicious, expectation...
By discussing the ancient myth of Amor and Psyche, Robert Johnson again guides us to become a related whole being.

Robert Johnson does it again with a wonderful archetypal tale and how it relates to modern woman. A must read for Jung addicts, as well as those branching out a bit intellectually from the Mars/Venus stuff. Be sure to grab "HE" and "WE" by the same author.
Great things come in small packages June 24, 2008

My best friend let me borrow this book; the journey has been without parallel. The book is small, and for the most part, extremely easy to read. But like slow moving river, extremely deep. Though the book's audience appears to be targeted towards the feminine, that does not necessarily mean just woman. It inspires reflection, understanding, and compassion towards ourselves as well as those around us.
This is a book to read and re-read.
A Revealing Treatment of the Psyche/Eros Myth August 1, 2005

"It is very easy to relegate mythology to a far away place long ago and thus isolate it from the mainstream of here-and-now life." So says Robert A. Johnson in the final chapter of SHE. This short, easy to read book, like Psyche's lamp, sheds light on the inner life of women, as well as the feminine within the male psyche. I've been aware of the Myth of Psyche for many years and have read several books mentioning it. However, I felt the authors often got lost in intellectual jargon or digressive personal experiences, so the meaning of the myth always eluded me. While I had a general idea of its importance, its deeper meanings always remained just out of reach. Johnson systematically takes each stage of the myth apart and shows the reader how it applies to the psyche, and there were many revelations for me in this book. For those who have read SHE and come away unenlightened or confused, I would suggest that perhaps this is not the fault of either author or reader. It does help to have at least a little knowledge of Jungian thought (although Johnson's book could serve as an intriguing introduction to Jungian psychology). I would say that if you're interested in the topic, keep reading about it. Keep building on your knowledge. Over time, your mind will sort out the information--just as the ants help Psyche to sort out the seeds--and you'll come to your own epiphany about the Myth of Psyche, just like I did when I read Johnson's book. I wish readers well in their search.
