Using some more recent translations we will study this tale in light of our current cultural splits (profoundly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic)\, especially our disassociation from nature\, to reflect on the archetypal underpinnings of our time and where they may be leading us. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDescribe factors which contribute to the development of defensive structures such as splitting and dissociation on a personal level\, and ways of addressing these in psychotherapy;\nDescribe factors which contribute to the development of defensive structures such as splitting and dissociation from a cultural perspective\, and give an example from contemporary culture;\nIdentify when “heroic” attitudes are in the service of adaptation vs situations in which they can become self-destructive.\n\nSteven Galipeau\, M.A.\, M.Div.\, is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Woodland Hills\, and President and Executive Director of Coldwater Counseling Center in Studio City\, a Jungian oriented sliding scale nonprofit. Steve is the author of Transforming Body and Soul: Therapeutic Wisdom in the Gospel Healing Stories and The Journey of Luke Skywalker: An Analysis of Modern Myth and Symbol as well as articles and reviews on a variety of topics related to analytical psychology. He is a frequent lecturer for Public Programs.
