Jean Benedict Raffa

A former television producer and college professor, Dr. Raffa changed directions in 

midlife to discover and write about her passions. Informed by over 30 years of psychological and 

spiritual study, her books and teachings guide others to growth and self-empowerment.

Jean Raffa is the author of The Soul’s Twin’s: Emancipating your Feminine and Masculine

Archetypes, published by Schiffer Books in 2020.

Humanity today is plagued by a loss of meaning and alienation from self and others. Drawing on 

Jungian psychology and wisdom traditions from world religions, Dr. Raffa offers a self-guided 

journey to heightened self-awareness and compassion. This guide for all who desire greater self-

fulfillment and freedom to be themselves describes four masculine and four feminine archetypes 

in everyone. A self-assessment tool called the Partnership Profile helps readers overcome gender 

stereotypes and activate a new archetype of loving relationship with oneself and others. This 

awareness, combined with suggested practices, empowers readers to address their imbalances 

and create the lives for which they yearn.

Jean Benedict Raffa is also the author of Healing the Sacred Divide: Making Peace with 

Ourselves, Each Other, and the World (2012), Dream Theatres of the Soul: Empowering

the Feminine through Jungian Dream Work (1994), and The Bridge to Wholeness: A Feminine

Alternative to the Hero Myth (1992).
