Eros and Psyche: A tale and a journey of initiation

The story of Eros and Psyche was told by Apuleius. By studying the story’s framework, we can relate the sequence of events to the initiatory journey composing the individuation process. The ordeals to which Psyche is subjected are placed in a new perspective by clinical vignettes, along with a recent animated film, demonstrating the timeliness of the messages these tales deliver.
