Great Mother an Analysis of the Archetype

Neumann examines how the Feminine has been experienced and expressed in many cultures from prehistory to our own time. Appearing as goddess and demon, gate and pillar, garden and tree, hovering sky and containing vessel, the Feminine is seen as an essential factor in the dialectical relation of individual consciousness, symbolized by the child, to the ungraspable matrix, symbolized by the Great Mother.Neumann, Erich is the author of 'Great Mother an Analysis of the Archetype', published 1972 under ISBN 9780691017808 and ISBN 0691017808.
