James Hollis Bücher

Männer lügen, Männer sind feige, Männer machen aus ihrem Herzen eine Mördergrube«, so lauten die Anklagen weiblicherseits an den Mann. Doch selbst wenn diese Vorwürfe berechtigt sind, was steckt hinter solchen Verhaltensweisen? Der Jungianische Psychoanalytiker James Hollis hat sich mit der Psyche der Männer befaßt und legt ihre Geheimnisse offen, Geheimnisse, die selbst vielen Männern noch verborgen sind. Und er tut dies verständig, moderat und kenntnisreich. Das Wesen männlichen – mehr oder weniger bewußten – Leidens beschreibt er unter Rückgriff auf die antike Mythologie als »Erbe des Saturn«. Macht, Eifersucht, Unsicherheit, Schlüsselmotive des Saturn-Mythos, machen nach Hollis auch die saturnische Erblast der Männer aus. Über seine fundierte Analyse hinaus nennt er praktikable Mittel und gangbare Wege für Männer, diese Erblast abzu-streifen, und legt es dezidiert in ihre Eigenverantwortung, aus dem Schatten des Saturn zu treten. James Hollis arbeitet als Psychoanalytiker in eigener Praxis in Philadelphia sowie in Linwood, New Jersey, wo er auch lebt.

These and many other issues are addressed, suggesting concrete ways in which men may reclaim their sense of personal integrity.
