This work … constitutes a rare and valuable contribution to a radically different way of approaching physical illness and suffering … Only archetypal medicine, it seems, recognizes that … there can be health only when there is also illness … To oversimplify Ziegler's case: illness represents one of the primary ways in which the forgotten,sleeping soul awakens itself by falling into body.
—ROBERT SARDELLO
