Course Descriptions

This course explores the role, weight, and significance of life’s mythic dimension from the standpoint of depth psychology. Freud, Jung, Hillman, Campbell, Downing, and a host of theorists and thinkers and writers have claimed that mythic presences, events, and situations are not dead or extinct, but alive and addressing us continually. This course examines this claim through discussions, dreamwork, film, and other media that disclose deep myth-making layers of the psyche. EWP PhD student
