ture point up both the negative and positive sides of the creative
forces experienced throughout history in a variety of cultures,
the reader's unconscious will hopefully be aroused and the
knowledge gleaned will disclose a whole new frame of refer-
ence. Those "knots" that previously bound and blinded read-
ers, depriving or denying them awareness, may then be untied.

A jungian Approach to Literature may pave the way for an
active participation between text and reader in the learning ad-
venture--as does a work of art and the therapeutic technique.
Considered in this dual role, literature is not merely a means of
broadening knowledge but a way of discovering one's own
ground-bed and of developing one's potential and spiritual élan--
of helping a personality to grow and individuate--which are
the fruits and goals of the creative process.

I should like to thank Doris Albrecht, the librarian at the C. G.
Jung Foundation in New York, for her help in the research work
that went into the preparation of A jungian Approach to Lit-
erature-.-B. L. K.
