Immersed in Jungian thinking throughout his life, Fordham has always been a controversial as well as a key figure. He writes candidly about his battles: after the Second World War, against the tendency to religiosity and cult formation within the Jungian fold and outside it. There are portraits of Jung himself and a frank assessment of Jung's response to Nazism, of the Jungian communities in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and of the evolution of British psychotherapy and child guidance.
