The 4 Stages of Butterflies & Humans

This book's verbalization of its main theme is perhaps best called an exercise in Depth Psychology. In elaborating on the larval vs. the metamorphic stages of the human self, it proposes first to set forth the origin of the human ego. It then moves on to how the larval stage self allows the ego to acquire a dangerous bit of control over the self vs. what the self must do to prevent such a disaster.
