CP (2023/2024) – Mythology and Archetypes
March 9, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Prepaid Cost: $180.00Event Navigation
Presented by Marlene Frantz, M.A., M.F.T.
In this class, participants will learn about the use of mythology, and the archetypes represented within them in the analytic process. Jung wrote, that in each image in a myth, “there is a little piece of human psychology and human fate, a remnant of the joys and sorrows that have been repeated countless times in our ancestral history.” We will explore these to discover ways of working with myths and archetypes and how their use can help our patients find meaning in their personal experiences.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the central position of myths and archetypes in Jungian theory and practice;
- Describe what is meant by the term archetype and why working with archetypes is a crucial part of the analytic process;
- Give an example of how the analysis of myths can support the understanding of personal experiences;
- Describe how Jung used the exploration of mythology with his patients;
- Give an example of when it would be therapeutically appropriate to incorporate the exploration of myths and archetypes in the course of treatment.
