MA C893ZP Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies

Module description

This module is designed to appraise the applicability of Jungian and post-Jungian modes of enquiry in diverse social and cultural fields with special reference to selected pressing problems in contemporary Western societies. Current controversies and debates will be presented for evaluation from the perspective of Jungian and post-Jungian psychology. The relevance of the epistemological, ethical and clinical positions developed within the Jungian and post-Jungian traditions for those working in other fields will be elucidated. The wide diversity of topics covered in this module is deliberate; it is intended to explore the broad applicability of these theories whilst at the same time to illustrate the methodology of how general principles are applied to social and cultural issues.
