The American Journal of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 66, No. 3, September 2006 ( 2006) DOI: 10.1007/s11231-006-9025-3 Jung and the Jungians on Myth, by Steven F. Walker. Routledge, New York, 2002, 224 pp. A significant problem with Jung’s writings and Jungian ideas is their relative lack of well-classified structure and organization. After reading several books of Jung, a reader might still be in doubt about the meaning of such vague but impor- tant terms as archetype, archetypal image, collective unconscious, anima, animus, self, constellation, and inflation. Although I had studied Jung’s analytical psychol- ogy and already worked in myth analysis (Javanbacht, 2003, 2004, 2006a, 2006b; Javanbacht & Whitehead, 2006), The Jung and Jungians on Myth was the first book in which I found the noted confusion much diminished. Steven Walker fulfills his goal of presenting Jungian terminology in a well-orga- nized and well-structured manner. He defines each Jungian key term clearly and illustrates the terms with examples from a vast area of Jung’s own sayings, books, letters, and conferences. For instance, in defining the term archetype, Walker pro- vides more than 10 examples of Jung’s own sayings and writings covering the development of Jung’s ideas from the beginning of Jung’s selection
