This book is the distillation of the professional wisdom of Renata Symonds (1913 - 2007), a London-based Jungian psychotherapist. She deals with the perennial problems of humankind that may particularly become evident at the threshold of the second half of life: finding meaning in one's existence; facing conflicts in work and marriage; dealing with depression, loneliness, and sexuality; and fear of death. These great themes are explored from the perspective of the writer's experience in helping people become aware of the unconscious aspects of their problems, especially through dream analysis. Many cases are described of how clients in this way - rather than by resorting to medical drugs to suppress symptoms - make real progress not only in resolving their difficulties but also in achieving inner growth as well. No dry treatise or self-help book - how to recognise if you're going through a midlife crisis and what to do about it - Renata Symonds speaks with warmth and enthusiasm of her approach to her clients' difficulties. The text is enriched by references to Jung and Freud and contains many literary and mythological allusions. This book will be of interest to the general reader with a basic knowledge of Jung's ideas, as well as those undergoing or contemplating psychotherapy.

In this book, Steven F. Walker considers the midlife transition from a Jungian and Eriksonian perspective, by providing vivid and powerful literary and cinematic examples that illustrate the psychological theories in a clear and entertaining way. For C.G. Jung, midlife is a time for personal transformation, when the values of youth are replaced by a different set of values, and when the need to succeed in the world gives place to the desire to participate more in the culture of one's age and to further its development in all kinds of different ways. Erik Erikson saw "generativity," an expanded concern for others beyond one's immediate circle of family and friends, as the hallmark of this stage of life. Both psychologists saw it as a time for growth and renewal. Literary texts such Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, or Sophocles' Oedipus the King, and films such as Fellini's 8 ½ and Campion's The Piano, have the capacity to represent, sometimes more vividly and with greater dramatic concentration than actual life histories or case studies, the archetypal nature of the drama and in-depth transformation associated with the midlife transition. Midlife Transformation in Literature and Film focuses on the specific male and female archetypal paradigms and presents them within the general context of midlife transformation. For men, the theme of death of the young hero presides over the crisis and the transformative ordeal, whereas for women the theme of tragic abandonment acts as the prelude to further growth and independence. This book is essential reading for anyone studying Jung, Erikson, or the midlife transition. It will interest those who have already been through a midlife transition, those who are in the midst of one, as well as those who are yet to experience this challenging period.

Verena Kast refers to Sisyphus as the myth of the forty-year-olds, who often experience their lot in life to be a Sisyphus task. Are our human efforts all in vain, or is there some meaning to be found? In the end, it is a struggle with death itself. Dr. Kast interprets everyday events, fairy tales and psychotherapy issues in light of the Sisyphus theme, rendering it a kaleidoscope through which we can look deeply into ourselves. Verena Kast deals with a problem that also fascinated Nietzsche and Freud. This book is packed with down-to-earth experience, clinical anecdotes, wit and insight. - Murray Stein

Title #59. Why do so many go through so much disruption in their middle years? Why then? Why do we consider it to be a crisis? What does the pattern mean and how can we survive it? The Middle Passage shows how we may pass through midlife consciously, rendering our lives more meaningful and the second half of life immeasurably richer.

Brewi and Brennan use a blend of Christianity with Jungian psychology to address four stages of the mid-life process: the archetypal perspective, the task of coming to terms with the "shadow personality," working with the inner child, so that the child can lead the adult into this new stage of living, and exploring Wisdom, the fruit of living.

James Hollis examines society's fixed views and fantasies in regards to relationships. This text is not a practical guide on how to fix a relationship, but rather a challenge to greater personal responsibility, a call for individual growth as opposed to seeking rescue through others.
