Try asking an orthodox Freudian (some still exist!). Next, try a (Melanie) Kleinian. Then take your choice. :-) Allen Esterson Former lecturer, Science Department Southwark College, London allenester...@compuserve.com http://www.esterson.org ---------------------------------- [tips] Girls and Horses - Archetype? Michael Britt Sun, 24 Oct 2010 05:53:10 -0700 My 11 year old daughter has been interested in horses for a long time (unlike her 11 year old brother, but that's an N of only 2) so not long ago I brought her to a 4H horse farm. I don't visit horse farms that often, but whenever I do I notice that there seems to be a disproportionate number of young girls taking lessons. I mentioned this to a colleague and she agreed and interpreted this in a vague Jungian-archetypal way. I'm not too big on Jung, but I don't have any other explanation. Thoughts?
