Allan G. Hunter was born in England in 1955 and completed all his degrees at Oxford University, emerging with a doctorate in English Literature in 1983. His first book was Joseph Conrad and the Ethics of Darwinism. In 1986, after working at Fairleigh Dickinson University's British campus and at Peper Harow Therapeutic Community for disturbed adolescents, he moved to the US. For the past twenty years he has been a professor of literature at Curry College in Massachusetts, and a therapist. He has produced two books specifically aimed at using writing and drawing exercises therapeutically - The Sanity Manual and Life Passages. Both books are based on his revolutionary interactive writing exercises, tried and proven in counselling sessions and classes. While working with clients in this way he began to uncover the presence of a series of archetypes within their writings. This led to his present work with the formulation of the six archetypal stages of spiritual development.
Four years ago he began teaching with the Blue Hills Writing Institute and he has remained with it ever since, working with students to explore the memoir and life-writing. His own experience of this medium is reflected in From Coastal Command to Captivity; The Memoir of a Second World War Airman, a project on which he worked with his father up to the time of his death. It required extensive reworking to bring this memoir to completion. As in all his books, the emphasis is on the healing nature of the stories we weave for ourselves if we choose to connect to the archetypal tales of our culture.

Sex and the city was a lot about love, lol but that is about the only thing that I disagree with him on. This was very interesting to hear.

[liloumace]

his point i think is that love was expressed differently before and seemed deeper...

[BLONDESPrfrGENTLEMEN]

I am an avid supporter of the original fairy tales, this was a fascinating interview. Thank you, Lilou for this. What a lovely man who GETS what real love is, what a treat this was.

[liloumace]

Yes, amazing person. I feel SO honored to have met him. Read his book The Six Archetypes of Love. It is great.!

Cinderella was deceptive also..by way of physical appearences too... by wearing the dress for that day she showed what she aspired to be rather than what she actually was in present form. This could be somewhat true for the sisters too both deception by different means How can Alan expect disney to really show kindergarden children the real version of Cinderella? Eyes being pecked out and women being whipped!!! It is all too patriachial for me and violent.

The wonderful thing that I have learned from learning how to be a deliberate creator of my life, studying the law of attraction and the law of allowing is that nobody else's opinion or perception matters but my own. Thanks for trying though!!

SEX IS NOT LOVE..There was no cinderella story in sex and the city.. renforced old ideals and stereotypes.If you can call carrie getting mr big love,then why did she kiss so many frogs..it teaches us to hear the heart and not to kiss frogs to find love..it as there all along...look for love not sex..

[rvf1966]

not to be rude but maybe most people dont get it all.sex and the city renforced old stereotypes mainly.. sex is not love .. at all

[craffte]

wow i thought this was gonna be crap but it's actually very substantive. Thanks! i'm looking for the other parts of this after it's done! ( i wish MEN didn't buy into sex & the city. They're "learning" about women thru that.) much appreciated, well done!

[PolishAbinadi]

This is wonderful. Thank you so much!

I have been disgusted with Disney productions for awhile (which is a challenge - half of my wife's family works or have worked for Disney). They don't care for children at all - I am not sure if they have ever done.

I already started searching for the Grimm brothers' Cinderella on line.

[thelotusheart]

They rescue each other... such a wonderful point of view!! Totally makes sense now.. Dancing in harmony OMG!!! Love it!!
