Two diverse yet complementary fields converge in this online 6-week Microcredential program. Chinese medicine and depth psychology each possess an expansive view of the body and psyche and are grounded in rich traditions. Though Chinese medicine is over 2,000 years old, its relevance and need today is more apparent than ever. When integrated with depth psychology, we have a potent mix of healing modalities where each field magnifies the strengths of the other. In areas of psychological health where Chinese medicine is weak and falls short, depth psychology soulfully fills in the gaps. Where depth psychology is deficient and could use a practical, hands-on approach, Chinese medicine offers simple and effective tools. This course will provide both a theoretical and practical approach to integrating these two fields. The curriculum emphasizes the fluid nature of the mind-body continuum, touching upon psychic structures, internal organs, physical and psychic energy, and conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and possession. Students will engage with psychoanalysis, analytic and archetypal psychology, acupuncture, herbs, and dietetics. This program will be suitable for those who are interested in an expansive view of mind-body medicine, integrative healing, and for clinicians, researchers, and students keen on delving into two vitalizing traditions.
