I am impressed with both the content and range. By the way, are you familar with the work of James Hillman and Archetypal Psychology. He is a kind of post-modern post-Jungian psychologist who deconstructs Jungians by saying in effect that they have created a metanarrative of therapy based on healing and a heroic notion of the ego. He is quite incredulous of psychology's claims for emanicipation. In place of this "100 years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse", he advocates an artistic psychology based on pathologizing, imaging, seeing through the literal and beauty as display. His discription of the anima mundi is a kind of post-modern hyle, a vale of soulmaking. Also, if I am reading correcting, it sounds like the kind of psychology being discussed at your site is interpersonal and of the post-rogerian variety. Are you familar with the work of John Dewey and George Herbert Mead? They advocate a social psychology along philosophical lines and are currently undergoing something of a revival, thanks to Rorty, Habermas, Jonas and others. They also have much in common with the Wittgenstein of the Philosophical Investigations.
