Elizabeth Éowyn Nelson, faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute since 2003, has been a professional writer and editor for four decades. Dr. Nelson’s books include Psyche’s Knife (Chiron, 2012), The Art of Inquiry (Spring, 2005 & 2017), coauthored with Joseph Coppin, and The Art of Jungian Couple Therapy, coauthored with Anthony Delmedico (Routledge, 2025).

Psyche's Knife examines the myth of Eros and Psyche as a metaphor for the development of soul in the psychology of women, explicating the tropes of love and power as depicted by Psyche's use of a knife in attempting to learn the identity of her lover. Elizabeth Eowyn Nelson examines the metaphor of the knife from all angles — alchemical, sacrificial, lunar, phallic — and delves into the mythology and imagery of women and knives, connecting our deep past to our present lives and our possibilities for the future with archetypal explorations of love and power.
