"This work is a psychological exploration from a Jungian perspective of the archetypal image of the collective shadow of man, by way of the mortal sins."

"1st pub. as Die dunklen Begleiter der Seele; die sieben Todsunden psychologisch betrachtet, aus dem Engl. ubertr. von Christa Polkinhorn-Umiker, Zurich, Walter, c1996."

"This book evolved following a series of lectures upon the nature of the Mortal sins, which was undertaken by the author at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, over a period of years between 1988 and 1995."

1 The deadly sin of pride. -- 2 The deadly sin of anger. -- 3 The deadly sin of jealousy. -- 4 The deadly sin of sloth. -- 5 The deadly sin of lust. -- 6 The deadly sin of avarice. -- 7 The deadly sin of gluttony

'Ideas about sin and evil as taught by the theologians of the early church now seem dated and alien. However, when thought of as psychic representations of the dark side of human nature as C.G. Jung defined it, the Seven Deadly Sins acquire relevant new meaning.'
