In this episode of the podcast I am speaking with Allan Guggenbuhl PhD about his book ‘Men, Power and Myths: The Quest for Male Identity’. Amongst other things we talk about Hillman’s friendship with his Father, his time in Mexico, and how his book grew out of his work with boys, girls, adolescents and schools. The difference between boys and girls. How boys respond to myth. And the archetypal approach within the zeitgeist of the mainstream.
