Carol Pearson is a psychologist and consultant, and this book, published by HarperSanFrancisco, presents her own application of Jungian archetype theory to personal development, organizing twelve archetypes into a system for self understanding that she herself developed for a popular audience. As a primary work in which a practitioner sets out an applied psychological system of her own devising, it documents that system's own claims and structure, and the atlas holds it at the tier appropriate to a practitioner's own framework rather than to independently tested psychological research. Its value is as a clear primary statement of a widely used popular archetype system, in its own creator's words, not as evidence the specific twelve archetype model is empirically validated.
