Puer Papers by James Hillman
A compact, imaginal study of the 'eternal youth' archetype that maps its mythic origins, psychological features, and cultural expressions; it portrays the puer as simultaneously charismatic, creative, and resistant to responsibility—prone to fantasy, flight from adult obligations, fraught relations with fathers and institutions, and recurring patterning in art, politics, and therapy—and argues for an approach that honors the archetype’s vitality while confronting its tendency toward arrested development and destructiveness, advocating a therapeutic and cultural re-engagement that moves the energy toward grounded maturation.
