On James Hillman and Michael Ventura, We've Had A Hundred Years of
Psychotherapy and The World's Getting Worse (1992):

"This provocative, dangerous, and high-spirited conversation sounds
like one that many of us have been holding with ourselves, more and
less silently, as times have grown ever darker. Finally somebody has
begun to talk out loud about what must change, and what must be left
behind, if we are to navigate the perilous turn of this millennium and
survive. For bravely lighting up these first beacons in the night,
Ventura and Hillman deserve our thanks as well as our closest
attention."
