Money is a subject often more taboo than sex, religion or political affiliation. The myriad money complexes both clients and therapists bring to the consulting room reveal many parallels between it and psychology. Money is the number one reason married couples separate and many families are torn apart by their economic issues.
As we engage with the phenomena of money we will consider its complex roles in identity, self regard, interpersonal relationships, psychopathology and the injuries of class at all points of the economic spectrum. We will try to understand some of the imaginal underpinnings of our contemporary economy as we deeply explore our personal psychologies of money and consider new possibilities. In an attempt to move beyond quantitative concepts, we will also discuss the psychological complexes, symbolic meanings, archetypal influences and spiritual significance of money.
