ARE PLEASED TO OFFER:
Deconstructing the Monstrous; An Archetypal Psychology Approach
We will explore and attempt to understand images of monsters in psychic
material. Drawing on variety of variety of sources from cultural studies,
psychoanalyses, Jungian and archetypal psychologies, we will reflect on the
mythologem of hero and dragon. We will investigate the relationship between ego
and non-ego images in the light of this mythologem. Using alchemical metaphors,
dream material, and insights from Carl Jung, James Hillman and Michael Vannoy-Adams,
will examine and interpret the evolution of the theme of the “monstrous” in the
contemporary psyche.
