Jung speaks a language
of universal symbols and Cliff Mayes brings that vocabulary to
education in a manner and with a breadth that has not been
achieved before.... Mayes has written the book many have been
waiting for and one Jung himself did not attempt: a text for
educators that directs the power of Jung's theory to the classroom
and the teaching act. Like Jung, this book will have a widening
audience and stand up well to the passage of time.

In Inside Education: Depth
Psychology in Teaching and Learning, Mayes expands on the ideas
that he introduced in Jung and Education in a variety of new and
exciting ways. He also folds in terms and techniques from such
post-Freudian theorists as Heinz Kohut, D.W. Winnicott, and W.R.D.
Fairbairn in order to cull those elements out of psychoanalytic
theory that are most relevant to teaching and learning. His
weaving together of both classical Freudian and Jungian as well as
neo-Freudian and neo-Jungian thought makes this an original and
important book.... Throughout, his style is erudite and eloquent,
yet simultaneously playful and entertaining.
