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.
