  James Hillman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hillman’s archetypal psychology is inspired by and heavily indebted to Jung’s analytical psychology (and to an extent Freud’s psychoanalysis), yet at the same time is a radical departure from it.
Hillman does not believe that dreams are simply random residue or flotsam from waking life (as advanced by physiologists), but neither does he believe that dreams are compensatory for the struggles of waking life, or are invested with “secret” meanings of how one should live (a la Jung).
Hillman also rejects causality as a defining framework and suggests in its place a shifting form of fate whereby events are not inevitable but bound to be expressed in some way dependent on the character of the soul in question.

 Insight & Outlook - An Interview with James Hillman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
James Hillman has been described variously as a maverick psychologist, a visionary, a crank, an old wizard, and a latter-day philosopher king.

 James Hillman/ New Kabbalah Website
Hillman's goal, which can be described as "mystical" amounts to a radical departure from not only the medical model of psychoanalysis but also from those humanistic models which, having rejected the metaphor of "cure," continue to entertain notions of self-improvement, self-actualization, well-being, understanding or enlightenment as goals for treatment or therapy (Moore, 1991).
Hillman implies that there are times when we must give in to own thanatic urges, or at least recognize their prepotency: "the disease which the experience of death cures" he tells us "is the rage to live".
Hillman, whose views, are, in effect, a series of radical (and dialectical) paradoxes fails to recognize the debt that he (and all dynamic psychologists) have to the philosopher who argued that all of our beliefs involve their contradictions as part of their very essence.

James Hillman's critique of traditional western psychology involves several considerations, all of which have to do with its fantasy of self, or the paradigm of self held by traditional psychology.

 Force of Character : And the Lasting Life by James Hillman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In The Soul's Code, James Hillman argued that each of us is born with an innate character that calls us to what we are meant to be.
The value of aging, Hillman writes, is that "we become more characteristic of who we are simply by lasting into later years." He presents an explosive new thesis -- that even age's debilitating changes are necessary and meaningful.
Hillman writes, "Aging can free you from conventional constriction and transform you into a force of nature, releasing your deepest beliefs, your passionate intensity." For all who read it, The Force of Character will be a seminal life-affirming experience.

 MicroGlyphics' Book Offerings - James Hillman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Hillman answers unequivocally in the affirmative, skewering modern pretension to prefer the Prince of Peace to the god of war.
Throughout, Hillman offers other disturbing insights: readers may feel a shock of recognition when he compares our addiction to viewing war (whether real or cinematic) to the viewing of pornography, noting that we are all voyeurs.
According to Hillman, "The current American identity as a victim is the flip side of the coin whose head brightly displays the opposite identity: the heroic self-made man, carving out destiny alone and with unflagging will." Hillman's theories seem disarmingly simple, but he backs them with a careful, well-practiced intellect.

 Jung Society of Atlanta - Decoding Hillman
Thus it’s no great stretch to say that, from Hillman’s perspective, the photographer was playing the anthropologist attempting to capture the soul of a shaman in his camera.
So, while one can argue that photography inhibits the essential movement of an image by freezing it, the fact is that Hillman, logician of the soul, attempted vainly (in all senses of the word) to control exhibition of the image that, in his terms, dreams him.
Hillman instead draws his inspiration from the Greeks and advocates a polytheistic psychology.

Hillman's roots are mostly classical, but in the service of retrieving what has been lost to psychology and, thus, in the service of psychology's future disclosure of "psyche" or "soul." The power of Hillman's thought, however, has more to do with how he approaches phenomena rather than what he has to say about it.
Hillman listens to the saying of the soul, and it speaks in his writing through him.
