'The book is written from a rich store of knowledge and experience, and can claim a distinctive place among its several predecessors. The author's main objective in marshalling her material is a plea for the development of consciousness, not only for the purpose of achieving a fuller life but also as an ethical task... The descriptive sections are well done and eminently readable. The author is at her best when representing human situations in which the underlying psychological factors can be seen at work and brought to the notice of the reader.' -- 'The Journal of Analytical Psychology'
