James Hillman

James Hillman was a prominent American psychologist, born in 1926, who made significant contributions to the field of psychology. His academic and professional journey was closely associated with the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich, where he pursued his studies and later guided others in their own academic pursuits. This experience laid the foundation for his future work in developing a distinct approach to psychology.
