Bani Shorter is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Edinburgh. She is also the author of An Image Darkly Forming: Women and Initiation (Routledge, 1987) and co-author with Andrew Samuels and Fred Plaut of A Critical Dictionary of Jungian Analysis (Routledge, 1986).

Bani Shorter articulates a vision for individuation in our changing epoch, and has helped to construct substantial elements of a bridge towards that vision. In a book of hope and inspiration, she has produced a companion for the seeker and initiate, a challenge to analytical psychology, and an aid to our collective dilemmas.- Harvest
