The work of James Hillman has presented a challenge to the
more classical strands of Jungian psychology. This lecture will
examine this challenge, exploring areas of convergence and
points of contrast between Jung’s ideas and Hillman’s. It will
set out the key perspectives of Archetypal psychology and
show their capacity to enhance the Jungian approach to both
psychotherapy and culture.

With its dedication to symbol, image and myth, Jungian psychology offers a very fruitful perspective when it comes to understanding the impact and meaning of film. This workshop will apply a spectrum of Jungian thought to this understanding. Using clips from selected films, we will discuss the way screen stories mirror aspects of individuation and explore how filmmakers bring archetypal depth to their vision.
Please view the following films prior to the workshop: American Beauty; The English Patient;
Thelma and Louise.
Recommended reading: Spring 73: Cinema and Psyche.
