Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

The unconscious and God have both been depicted as inaccessible to ordinary conscious reflection. Likewise, depth psychologists like Freud have depicted women as mysterious objects of desire or, like Jung, as representative of the depths which call men toward wholeness. What is the relation of the enigmas of God, woman, and the unconscious This course examines depth psychology with particular reference to connections between religion and gender. In doing so, students read the work of Freud and Jung, consider the positions of selected followers who have discussed religion and/or gender, and examine the perspectives of various feminists who have used and/or critiqued Freud and Jung.
