Establishing an unknown historical thread that ties renowned psychiatrist C.G. Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson, Cody Peterson shows how their methodologies each stemmed from an ancient shamanistic source constellated through what he has coined \u003cem\u003ethe archetype of the Alcoholic\u003c\/em\u003e. Painting the Twelve Steps as a modern myth, the author presents \u003cem\u003ethe Alcoholic\u003c\/em\u003e as a paradoxical image leading us towards enlightenment amid a deepening, culture-wide spiritual crisis.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of
