Soul and Native Americans

"I came upon the Hultkrantz years ago while researching ideas of the soul for my book Dream & the Underworld. I couldn't believe my luck! I ordered my copy straight from Sweden. For this is the book for an utterly thorough & beautifully differentiated report showing how much more the native peoples of America understood about what we call "soul," "psyche," & "anima" than our own American Psychologists. Especially valuable is the evidence for the various kinds of soul, including the death soul & how they're recognized & experienced. "The importance of the Hultkrantz research & not just psychology cannot be overstated. In this more accessible form, abridged with the author's cooperation by Robert Holland & edited by Jay Livernois, each student of soul & of troubled souls has a sophisticated tool for grappling with the ambiguity, the evasiveness & the vitality of the very stuff of life that humans share with other living creatures. Readers, you are in for a treat & a deepening."--James Hillman.Hultkrantz, Ake is the author of 'Soul and Native Americans' with ISBN 9780882142234 and ISBN 0882142232.
