" Jungian vitamins for thought can be found in Pia Skogemann´s Archetypes, one of Jungs central concepts. The plausibility of this Jungian core concept is substantiated because it is presented so convincingly. With a far reaching spiritual agility consequences are drawn to even remote scientific disciplines."

Fin Abrahamowitz, Information

" Her point is that Jung was looking back in history in his studies but at the same time was more modern in his way of thinking than his contemporaries would allow and accept.
By confronting his theories with modern linguistics, biology, anthropology, sociology, history of religions and physics Pia Skogemann attempts to verify the progressive almost visionary character of Jungs theories. She has a deep insight in all of these disciplines and she abundantly manages to demonstrate interesting contexts. Curiously it seems that Niels Bohr through a mutual friend - the Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli - indirectly was connected with Jung and probably knew his theories."

Bo Møhl, Politiken

" In her recent book she has got her mind set on telling us what the archetypes are. She does so by moving back and forth between past and present, from psychology to ethnography to the latest theories in the natural sciences, from the history of the religions back to psychology... Pia Skogemann certainly is a wise woman endowed with a profound and far reaching sensitivity."
