This course introduces, contextualises and demystifies some key ideas from Jungian psychology particularly psyche as an evolved self-regulating system. Some of Jung’s thinking was of his time and some was ahead: we will look at context, and how Jung’s intuitions have resonated with more recent areas like evolutionary psychology and cultural and spiritual aspects of therapy. Taught by an Art Therapist, the course particularly focusses on Jung’s major influence on the roots of Art Therapy.
