Problem of the Puer Aeternus

The Latin term puer aeternus means eternal youth. In Jungian psychology it is used to describe a certain type of man--- charming, affectionate, creative and ever in pursuit of his dreams. Influencing both men and women, this classic study was originally a series of lectures at the Z]rich Jung Institute. These are the men who remain adolescent well into their adult years, generally full of life yet strangely draining to those around them. Title is #87 in the series of Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts.
