Under Saturn's shadow

The Wounding and Healing of Men
Book • 1994
In this book, Dr. James Hollis delves into the psychological and spiritual wounds that men often carry, tracing these issues back to a lack of male mentors and rites of passage.

Hollis uses depth psychology, anecdotes from his patients, and symbolism to uncover the grief, wounding, and sorrow that men face.

He outlines seven steps to healing, including remembering the loss of the fathers, telling secrets, seeking mentors, and recovering the soul’s journey.

The book emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and working through the 'shadow' aspects of one’s personality, a concept rooted in Jungian psychology.
