Today, the soul appears in psychology as a noun, as an adjective, and as a verb. First is soul as a noun, where debates over dualism loom large. Dualism still has a place in psychology. Second is soul as an adjective: psychical reality. Casey and Meissner distinguish psychical reality from the “subjective” by finding that this reality can be shared. Psychical reality relates to what is given to an experiencing person. To discern this reality, one must participate in the unfolding of what is experienced. For Christou (1963), psychological experience has two aspects: “subject-object unity” and “dramatic quality” (p. 75). Third is soul-as-verb, that is, soul as activity, creative activity, imaginative work, or in general, “soul making.” This section concentrates on the archetypal psychology as well as its critics. The book ends by delineating characterizations of the soul developed in the book, a psychology with soul in a soulless psychology.
