Building on the theoretical foundation in analytical psychology provided in year one (PA209), this module seeks to chart and critically assess the development and growth of Jungian thought. We will examine advances in defining key concepts such as archetypes and complexes, and will consider the ways in which Post-Jungians have applied Jung's ideas to diverse academic fields, including gender studies, art and literature, politics, religion and history. We will also consider what it means to practice and undergo Jungian analysis today. This module will orient you towards the key debates in the field, and will encourage you to reflect on the nature of interdisciplinary.
Aims
To provide an introduction to the different approaches to the academic study of Jungian psychology
To enable a critical understanding of the history of analytical psychology
to explore the ways in which Jungian thought has been applied by Post-Jungian thinkers
To understand the link between clinical analysis and academic work
To promote critical reflection on the nature of interdisciplinary
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module you should be able to:
* Understand the ways in which Jungian applications are both helpful and problematic
* Comprehend how the academic study of Jung has its foundation in analytic work
* Display a critical understanding of what it means to be 'Post-Jungian'
* Embark upon your own application of Jungian psychology to a chosen, academic field
No additional information available.
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of lectures and interactive seminars.
