Overview

The idea of an unconscious is the most central tenet of depth psychology. Jungian psychology is part of this depth tradition. The dynamics of the psyche are timeless and are perhaps best approached through myths and archetypes, which mysteriously continue to have appeal from one generation to the next.

Based on the accessible studies in myth by Robert Johnson in his books He, She, We, and Owning Your Own Shadow this highly accessible course will help you get acquainted with the importance of the fundamental dynamics of the unconscious, archetypes and mythology.
