'This book is long overdue. Today it is more than welcome. And it is more than useful. It is precious. By the questions the book poses, and by the questions which arise through the work of the author.We will return.'- Christian Gaillard, Cahiers Jungiens de Psychanalyse

Overall it is a stimulating and worthwhile work, and I would definitely recommend it to those who want to gain a new perspective on Jung’s basic ideas, as well as those who are particularly interested in temporality and its intriguing vicissitudes.'- Ladson Hinton, Society of Jungian Analysts of Northern California, Journal of Analytical Psychology
