'Tom Kirsch is not the only Jungian analyst to grow up in a Jungian family, but he is the one who has most managed to keep up with the many additions and extensions to that family--over eight decades! His is a record of the affiliations, estrangements, and rediscoveries that attend any family's relations to each other, and his honest account of his reactions to these events gives the reader a sense of what being Jungian is like at the human level....' --John Beebe
