For post-Jungian archetypal psychologist James Hillman, the concept of the ego familiar to the work of Freud, Jung, and other psychoanalytic thinkers maintains a almost tyrannical predominance in the tradition of psychoanalysis.

The solution? A break with the ego's oppositionalism and a deep dive into the world of the imagination.
