Jungian analyst and scholar Siegmund Hurwitz, who received his training from C G Jung, Toni Wolff and M L von Franz, wrote his all-encompassing work on Lilith over a period of some 30 years. On the basis of original texts, he presents the archetypal background of the myth of Lilith and shows the influences it has today on the roles of modern men and women. A historical treatise illustrated with modern case material and extremely well-received in the years since its original publication in German, it now becomes accessible to English language readers.
