A demonstration of the archetypal approach to psychopathology may be found in Lopez-Pedraza’s study Hermes and his Children (1977). The author does more than merely point out the links between Hermes as trickster, his mendacity, criminality, perversion—and his role as ‘the spirit Mercurius’

Samuels presents Lopez Pedraza’s Hermes and his Children as the canonical demonstration of how archetypal psychology treats psychopathology by celebrating mythological ambivalence rather than pathologizing it.

Throughout this book there have been references to the Archetypal School of analytical psychology which has been furthered principally by James Hillman (and also Avens, 1980; Berry, 1982; Giegerich, 1975; Lopez-Pedraza, 1977; M. Stein, 1973; R. Stein, 1974).

Samuels formally names Lopez Pedraza as one of the key contributors alongside Hillman who furthered the Archetypal School of analytical psychology.
