    Bantam Books, published by arrangement with Putnam’s, 1973), p. 147.

  2. “Focused consciousness,” as described by Irene Claremont de Castillejo, is con-
    sidered an attribute of the animus or of men: “The power to focus is man’s greatest
    gift but not man’s prerogative; the animus plays this role for a woman.” “It is
    only when she needs a focused kind of consciousness that the help of the animus
    is needed.” From Claremont de Castillejo, Knowing Woman, Chapter 5, “The An-
    imus—Friend or Foe” (New York: Putnam’s, for the C. G. Jung Foundation for
    Analytic Psychology, 1973), pp. 77–78. I am using her terminology, but disagree
    with her assumption, based on Jung’s model of women’s psychology, that focused
    consciousness is always a masculine attribute.
