Beyond Romance - Paperback - 9783639051162

Recognising the inadequacy of romantically premised relatedness, this book is part of a growing body of literature exploring the contours of what love and relatedness 'beyond romance' might look like. Its particular contribution lies in the depth psychological perspective it brings to these discussions. As the basis for a more defensible model of love, the primary focus is upon addressing issues associated with what founder of analytical psychology Carl Jung denoted the individuation process or self-realisation. The critique is informed by a Jungian theoretical perspective and couched within a symbolic reading of Andy Tennant's 1998 film rendition of Cinderella, Ever After. It will therefore be of especial interest to those concerned with the depth psychological dimensions of human experience and those applying Jungian concepts within the field of film studies. However, in that a number of topical relationship issues are discussed, the content should also be of interest to a wider general readership.
