This brief course offers an introduction to the ideas of James Hillman, the principal founder of archetypal psychology and an influential thinker in contemporary psychology and culture. From its beginnings in the late 1960´s, archetypal psychology has brought creative vitality and brilliant insight to the field of depth psychology, at once affirming fundamental elements in the Jungian and psychoanalytic perspectives while sharply critiquing others. Above all, it has called for depth psychology to move beyond the consulting room to engage the larger cultural, historical, and ecological issues of our time.
