Following in the archetypal psychology tradition of James Hillman, this work by David L. Miller argues that the traditional psychotherapeutic goal of an integrated whole is monotheistic. He argues instead for a polytheistic theology that is psychological, iconoclastic, and gnostic and views the mythos of gods and goddesses imaginally, as a theologica imaginalis, a perspective for which Gaston Bachelard and Henry Corbin laid the philosophical foundation.
   This newly revised edition includes a Prefatory Letter by Corbin and an Appendix by Hillman.
