Presented by Bradley A. TePaske, Ph.D.
Jung recognized that the qualities we tend to associate with gender, are not, in fact, unique to a particular gender. Every individual carries capacities within, often undiscovered, that don’t align with their conscious gender identity. Jung referred to these energies as contrasexual. Specifically, he called the archetypal masculine in the unconscious of a woman the animus, and the archetypal feminine within the unconscious of a man, the anima. In this class we will study these concepts, both their meanings and functions, and explore whether and how they might (or might not) be useful in contemporary times. The class will include examples from women’s dreams showing the development of the relationship between dreamers and their contrasexual other.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain what is meant by animus.
- Explain what is meant by anima.
- List 2 ways an individual might work to develop a relationship with their contrasexual other.
- Give an example of how the idea of the contrasexual other might (or might not) be useful in contemporary life.
