The Lover Within: Accessing the Lover in the Male Psyche

1993

The final volume in Moore and Gillette's archetype series explores the Lover as the aspect of masculine psychology that enables a man to be fully present to beauty, sensuality, relationship, and the vitality of life itself — to experience the world as charged with meaning and connection rather than as an object to be managed or overcome. The book examines how the Lover manifests across mythology, art, and clinical psychology, distinguishing the mature Lover from the addicted lover, the impotent man, and the man who has armored himself against feeling. For men who have lost contact with their capacity for aliveness, tenderness, and genuine intimacy, this archetype offers a path back.
