Hermes and his Children has become something of a classic among therapists, poets, artists and readers of many callings. Rafael López-Pedraza approaches the soul through myth, pathology, image and the very living of them all. The love and passion of a man fully in his element radiates throughout this unique work, now updated and expanded for this edition. Rafael López-Pedraza was born in Cuba in 1920 of Spanish heritage. He attended the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich from 1963 until 1974. In 1974 he came to Caracas, Venezuela, where he divided his time between professorial duties, a psychotherapeutic practice and writing. He died on 10 January 2011 at 90 years of age.
