Thoughts on James Hillman



By Caroline Myss Phd.

Engineer (Architect, Builder, Schemer)

The Engineer is eminently practical, hands-on, and devoted to making things work. The characteristics of the Engineer reflect the
grounded, orderly, strategic qualities of mind that convert creative energy into a practical expression. This archetype also
manifests as a talent for engineering everyday situations or designing solutions to common dilemmas. The shadow Engineer
manifests as a master manipulator, designing and engineering situations to one's own advantage regardless of the needs or
desires of others.

Films: Alec Guinness in The Bridge on the River Kwai; Gary Cooper in The Fountainhead; Jeff Bridges in Tucker.

his son, Icarus).
