Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D. is a psychiatrist (Jungian archetypes) and author. Bolen has written several books on the archetypal psychology of women and men in the development of spirituality,^[1] and is one of the women featured in the 1986 film Women - for America, for the World (Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject)) and 1989 National Film Board of Canada documentary Goddess Remembered. Bolen also co-founded (with former husband James Bolen) Psychic magazine in 1969 (renamed New Realities in 1977) covering parapsychology and mind-body-spiritual subjects.^[2]

Ken Wilbur, in his book Sex, Ecology, and Spirituality expresses his appreciation for Bolen's two books Goddesses in Everywoman, and Gods in Everyman for its "wonderful presentation of all the 'archetypal' gods and goddesses that are collectively inherited by men and women..."

-'''Goddesses in Everywoman: Powerful Archetypes in Women's Lives'''. Foreword by Gloria Steinem. Introduced Greek goddesses as personification of archetypal feminine patterns that have a powerful effect on shaping personality, behavior, and meaning, which are in turn supported or suppressed by family and culture.

-'''Gods in Everyman: Archetypes that Shape Men's Lives'''. The major Greek gods as male archetypal patterns which shape personality and relationships, favor or handicap the achievement of power and success in a patriarchal society, and are sources of meaning as well as pathology. (A one volume "gods and goddesses in everyperson" would have been a conceptually more accurate, because women and men are likely to have at least one active archetype in the other book), (Harper  & Row, 1989) HarperCollins, pb IBSN 0-06-097280-7, (25th anniversary edition, 2014.)

Life-threatening illness as a descent of the soul into the underworld, as a potential turning point, and a crisis for body and soul.
