Der Psychoanalytiker Loren E. Pedersen zeigt, welch immense Bedeutung die Anima, das «Weibliche im Mann», hat und wie verhängnisvoll es für die seelische Entwicklung eines männlichen Menschen sein kann, wenn er ihr nicht die gebührende Beachtung schenkt oder sie gar verdrängt.Dann kommt es zu jener einseitigen Betonung der «männlichen» Werte wie Rationalität, Leistungsdenken, Aggressivität und die «weiblichen» Qualitäten, Sensibilität, Intuition und Mitgefühl, werden unterdrückt. Der Mann verkümmert zum «halben Menschen».Wenn er jedoch lernt, die weibliche Seite seiner Seele wahrzunehmen, wird es ihm gelingen, zur wahren Stärke eines reifen, seiner selbst bewußten Menschen zu gelangen.(Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine frühere Ausgabe.)
