A wee note from James Hillman, former student at Trinity,
Dublin and originator of the archetypal school
Spring Publications
is a "niche" publisher, serving the psychologically sophisticated reader, the educated teacher, and the curious scholar.
Our list thrives in the territory left vacant between trade editions of big commercial houses and the academic presses of
universities. We have a wide reach in distribution abroad and in translations from foreign languages.
Since our first
printings when we were located in Zurich, Switzerland, our focus remains the soul in the culture, a focus that can
be condensed into two words: Archetypal Psychology. We reach back to the classic works from Greece and Rome and the
psychology of the Italian Renaissance, replenishing the modern mind with books on the nature of Gods and Goddesses, and the
pagan world in general, including Afro-Caribbean, Latino, Native American, and Celtic works on ritual, initiation and the
cult of soul. The soul in the practice of psychotherapy is one of our mainstays: therapy in childhood, midlife and as
we age; in the various symptoms of eros, of psychopathologies and diseases; and the therapy of therapy itself.
Ideas of C. G.
Jung and his school figure largely among our authors with practical books on dreams, active imagination, art therapy, typology
(introvert and extravert), anima and animus, family psychology, the soul of women (by women writers), shadow and evil, and
the depth psychology of archetypal figures and symbols. Works on the Jewish and Christian symbolic imagination, on the
philosophy of psychology, on religion, mysticism and gnosis, and the astrological imagination, fill out our list that is kept
up to date with re-prints and expanded with a select few titles each year.
May I invite
you to browse our website and send inquiries to SpringPublications@hotmail.com.
Thank you,
James Hillman President
