I wish to thank the Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies for many opportunities to present and publish my work and Winthrop University for financial support that enabled me to travel to the JSSS and other conferences. I deeply appreciate the support and encouragement of my department chairs: Gregg Hecimovich, Robert Prickett, and Casey Cothran. Great thanks also go to the staff of the Dacus Library, especially Nancy White in circulation and Phillip Hays in interlibrary loan. Family members helped out as wellFrancis Fike proofread some of the chapters, and Deborah Brower suggested topics for two of the chapters. Finally, I am grateful to the staff at Routledge: Susannah Frearson, for her encouragement and guidance as this book took shape; and Rebecca Hogg for her assistance in the early stages of the publication process.
