WORDS ABOUT WORDS
For Jung, etymology carried great significance because it revealed to him the parentage, the lineage, the family tree of psyche. It became for him one of the ways to come closer to the truths of the objective psyche, the collective unconscious. This becomes even more meaningful when we realize that etmos means "truth." Thus the logos of etmos, etymology, is "truth speaking."

WORDS ABOUT WORDS
The image of therapy as a song of healing speech was an extraordinary achievement of the early Greek mind. At that time, speech was felt to be man's greatest treasure, the divine gift that brought meaning to all things. For these early explorers of the word, the word did not just name a thing; it named its meaning.
