dp 781 - Psychologies of Liberation

Institution:

Pacifica Graduate Institute

Subject:

Description:

This course places Euro-American approaches to depth psychology into conversation with psychologies of liberation arising from Asia, Africa, Central and South America. By focusing on dialogue as their common methodology, we reflect on how one can integrate psychologies that have focused primarily on the individual and the intrapsychic with psychologies that look at the psychological through the lens of culture. How does this integration lead us to work with dream, symptom, image, and calling? How does it help us imagine depth psychological work with psychological suffering and well-being through small group and community participatory fieldwork and research? We examine the development of dialogical capacities across the intrapsychic, interpersonal, and group domains. This course lays the theoretical and pracitcal foundation for depth psychologically oriented community fieldwork and research.
