Eros and Pathos: Shades of Love and Suffering (Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts, 40)

Carotenuto is a Jungian, so I like him. His insights into the various stages of love are intuitive and complex.
What's not to love!
I enjoy that he sees the beauty of fusion, the excitement of it, all that hope. I appreciate, also, that he sees the beauty and pain of betrayal and lost love.
He's kind of poetic, I think. He explores the nature of creation and the importance of being unique. He points out that the strictures of the "collective do real violence to personal uniqueness. we are thrown into a world of rules andsuperficial relationships where psychologically leveling reigns, hence we must be onthe lookout for some way in which to reveal the deepest srpings of our individuality" --
As you can see, this is like Lacan's most painful, terrible moments. Yet, Carotenuto, being Jungian, also sees the possibilities of freedom and creativity. They can be partly located in loneliness. It's there that we can penetrate to the bottom "of something...that opooses collective superficialities."
Hurrah for isolation and loneliness!
Who'd have thought!
