"Carl Jung emphasized the deep link to the physical world that exists for the collective unconscious and its archetypes. Our dreams and symbols, as well as the patterns of our behavior are shaped by the fact that we are creatures of a material universe. Michael Conforti's research has been directed to understanding the nature of these links and patterns in the light of the new sciences - quantum theory, chaos theory, self-organization and the new biology. Conforti's book successfully integrates this material to offer a new exciting challenge to psychotherapy.. It demonstrates that the study of consciousness cannot neglect the insights of the sciences and in doing so promises a unified view of mind and matter." — F. David Peat, Ph.D.

"Since Jung's pioneering work in analytical psychology, we have been fortunate that each succeeding generation has produced its own creative and innovative analyst and authors who have been able to build upon and expand Jung's psychology and ideas. In this book, Dr. Conforti demonstrates why so many consider his contribution to Jungian thought as gifted and original. By delineating the confluence of matter and spirit from a Jungian perspective, and demonstrating how the new physics and solid clinical psychology go hand in hand, Michael.. Conforti has made a major contribution for this generation's continued development of analytical psychology."
— Aryeh Maidenbaum, Ph.D.

"Building on Jung's understanding of archetypal patterning in the psyche, Michael Conforti takes his reader into the evolving consciousness which opens Jung's psychology into interdisciplinary studies, theology, the new sciences, archaeology, microbiology, and modern medicine. Anyone interested in the relationship between psyche and matter will turn to this book." — Marian Woodman, Ph.D.

"Michael Conforti has captured some of the seminal ideas coming from the new sciences to better clarify the dynamical and paradoxical nature of the archetype. His book and the Assisi Conferences are helping to develop meta-language through which we can better understand the natural world and human behavior."
— Richard Ott, M.D., Plastic Surgeon

"Conforti's compelling and compassionately written work about the confluence of matter and psyche is a ground breaking contemporary continuation of C.G. Jung's earlier discoveries of the 'objective psyche' and its self-organizing archetypal structure. With many examples from psychotherapeutic practice, it speaks also to clinicians to broaden their view extensively." — Mario Jacoby, Ph.D., Senior Training Analyst

"I have been in the courtroom for the past 26 years as a trial attorney and trial judge. After reading Dr. Conforti's Field, Form and Fate, I have greater insight into the forces that have shaped the law. It's exciting, and a 'must read' for trial attorneys who need a deeper understanding of how truth emerges in the courtroom." — Honorable Rufus L. Yent, Judge of the Superior Court, State of California
