Timeless Documents of the Soul

In a facinating excursion though the history of her myth, Seigmund Hurwitz presents and interprets the ancient dark-winged goddess Lilth, aslo know as "the first Eve". The authors extraoridnary meticulous study of the original sources brings to light a stiking figure long lost from our awareness, yet highly relevant to a psychological understanding of today's evolving masculine and feminine identities. Case material from his analytical practice imbeds Lilith in the everyday problems of contemporary life. That an unbridled life-urge which refuses to be assimilated lies behind depression...seems to me to be a new and important discovery. By combining the experience of a comtemporaryman with this historical material, Seigmund Hurwitz sheds new light on both. - From the Foreword by Marie-Louise von Franz

Lilith the First Eve

Lilith, the First Eve

Robert Hinshaw

Jungian analyst and scholar Siegmund Hurwitz, who received his training from C G Jung, Toni Wolff and M L von Franz, wrote his all-encompassing work on Lilith over a period of some 30 years. On the basis of original texts, he presents the archetypal background of the myth of Lilith and shows the influences it has today on the roles of modern men and women. A historical treatise illustrated with modern case material and extremely well-received in the years since its original publication in German, it now becomes accessible to English language readers.
