    The manner in which we experience our relationship with nature deeply shapes our human identity. Similarly, conceptions of selfhood and otherness powerfully influence our treatment of nature. The complexity, mystery, and diversity of systems described by natural science and the dynamics of Psyche described by depth psychology often mirror one another. As distinct from 20th century psychologies that pause at a separate self, ecopsychology imagines the self as in-relation to an interconnected and independent world. Ecopsychology considers individuation as rooted in a process of symbiotic connection to nature and the human community. Depth perspectives on the ecology of soul are informed by new science, deep ecology, shamanism, wildness, indigenous cultures, animism, evolutionary psychiatry, somatic psychology, and various creative arts. However, the primary guides and texts for this course are the transformative voices, images, and powers of Nature itself.

    This course situates some of the key themes of Freud's psychoanalysis within their cultural-historical contexts. The unconscious, transference, and the dream are examined for their original contributions to a way of knowing and being which honors the depth of soul.

    The basic concepts of Jungian psychology such as persona, anima, animus, shadow, the ego-Self axis and others are studied. Attention is brought to the historical, philosophical, psychological, and religious influences acting upon Jung's psychology. We explore the usefulness of Jungian concepts for understanding inter- and intrapsychic processes, as well as for seeing more deeply into the issues of our time.

    Archetypal psychology, as envisioned by James Hillman, moves beyond clinical inquiry and locates its identity within the Western imagination, finding affiliation with the arts, culture, and history of ideas. Its central aim is the appreciation and development of soul through the cultivation of the life of the imaginal. We investigate the history and central ideas of this rich psychological perspective, focusing on concepts such as archetype, image, seeing through, and the soul of the world, anima mundi.

    Depth psychological approaches to dream theory are studied. We learn and practice a variety of dreamwork methods which draw upon Freudian, Jungian, phenomenological, and archetypal theory. Focus is brought to the notion that dream images are alive, that they are autonomous, embodied beings, engaged in their own activities. We practice ways of interacting with these living images as a way of tending personal, cultural, and archetypal realities.

    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.
  • 2.00 Credits

    This course introduces students to the distinctive theory and practice of research in depth psychology. Following a consideration of the unique character of depth psychology and of the special demands it places on researchers, students are introduced to both the history of qualitative reserch and current issues in this field. Students are taught a variety of research methodologies they can put to use immediately in conceiving and writing their course papers, later in conducting their summer fieldwork, and eventually in the most demanding and rewarding academic research task of all, writing a dissertation. Special attention is paid to the psychological dimensions of research, including vocational and transferential elements, as research is explored as a path to both personal and collective healing, integration, and individuation.

    This summer externship helps students to create a bridge from their growing theoretical knowledge of depth and liberation psychologies to cultural and ecological fieldwork that supports psychological and community well-being. Through participatory work in community settings connected to a contemporary cultural, community, or ecological issue that interests them, students explore and practice applications of depth psychology that extend beyond the consulting room.
