  • DJA 820: Imaginal Ways of Knowing

    3.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    Active imagination is the name given to the technique Jung pioneered for working with unconscious material in the psyche, often through working with an image or through dialogue with an inner figure. The Red Book contains 16 years of Jung's active imagination within its covers, and thus is the text par excellence for exploring this powerful technique and its relationship to psychic creativity and consciousness.

  • DJA 830: The Political & Organizational Psyche

    3.00 Credits

This course will explore the unconscious dynamics that influence contemporary events, which may include: the emerging archetype of wholeness; the danger of a savior or hero figure; the rise of fundamentalism and fanaticism; and the archetypal roles and motifs that appear in political, social and institutional organizations.

  • DJA 835: Psychological Types

    2.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    Jung is probably best known in mainstream culture for his theory of psychological types, the basis for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (tm) which is now known and used throughout the world. Students learn about Jung's theory, including the rational and irrational functions, the eight basic types of people, and the importance of developing the inferior function. Various typological assessment tools are introduced, and discussions center around their reliability and validity, ethical use, and their contemporary and cross-cultural applicability. Attention will be paid to primary applications of typology, such as increasing self-awareness, decreasing stress by living "in type," increased understanding of and appreciation of others, type development over the lifespan, and fostering tolerance in groups and organizations.

  • DJA 850: Depth Psychology & the Sacred

    3.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    This course begins by contrasting Freud and Jung's views of the psychology of religion. Though Freud was dismissive of religion, Jung explored it extensively from the beginning to the end of his life, arguing unequivocally for its psychological importance, going so far as to declare that all psychological problems are essentially spiritual problems which can be cured through an encounter with the numinosum, or god-image. This course focuses on the spiritual function of the psyche through key Jungian and post-Jungian works, exploring the variety of ways people approach and experience the divine.

  • DJA 855: Synchronicity & the New Sciences

    3.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    Jung's concept of synchronicity is a central conept in understanding the psyche-world relationship, which was a recurring theme in his later work. This course will examine the generation of this concept and associated studies, including Jung's thoughts on the I Ching and astrology. Advancing the understanding of the archetypal level of the psyche through considerations of the psychoid realm, and in dialogue with the findings of quantum physics, the course explores the intertwined and interpenetrating relationship of psyche and matter.

  • DJA 860: Ecopsychology:The Psyche in Nature

    2.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    As Jung saw it, "Natural life is the nourishing soil of the soul." Many of us feel split off from that nourishment today, living within a worldview which divides the inner form the outer, spirit form matter, and humans from nature. An ecopsychological perspective remedies this malaise by considering individuation as rooted not only in our relationship to self and human others, but to the natural world as well. The importance of place to the psyche will provide rich discussion material, including an observation of the natural world as it appears in our dreamscapes. Students will explore archetypal and mythological motifs which emerge from the ensouled world, including differing natural landscapes and the animal world, which in turn resonate within the human soul. Means of (re)connecting psyche and nature will be discussed, including traditional and contemporary wilderness rites of passage and nature-based healing practices from indigenous cultures. The course will contain a strong experiential engagement with the natural world as well.

  • DJA 865: The Alchemy of Transformation

    2.00 Credits
    Pacifica Graduate Institute

    When Jung realized that the ancient practice of alchemy contained a rich symbolic language which mirrored the process of transformation inherent to individuation, he called it "a momentous discovery." This course explores alchemical symbolism and processes, including nigredo, separatio, mortificatio, and dissolutio, looking for their manifestations in our personal and cultural lives. As Rumi once said, "The alchemy of a changing life is the only truth."
