An Introduction to Psychedelics and Carl Jung
Students will receive an introduction to Jung and his life and learn how analytical psychology may deepen one's understanding of altered states of consciousness. Students will learn about concepts such as the collective unconscious, archetypes, the shadow, and the process of individuation. By exploring Jung's life, the students will gain an insight into the foundations of his theories, and for their implications in the present moment.
This is an at-home self-study course, which means that you can go through the material on your own time. You will receive access to the video lectures for a lifetime, so you will be able to go back and re-watch the course material whenever you would like to.
Why Carl Jung?
Carl Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychoanalyst and author. Most popularly known for his relations with Freud, Jung's fundamental influence for the analytical psychology movement continues to reiterate the importance of his legacy. Today, Jung is remembered for his work with dreams, and for popularizing concepts such as collective unconscious and archetypes. Although Jung never experimented with psychoactive substances, he can be considered a true explorer of the mind. The wealth of his knowledge is transmitted in his numerous books, most recently with the 2009 publication of the Red Book.
As one of the key figures in the history of psychology, Jung also plays a central role in the ongoing psychedelic renaissance. Since Jung's psychological theories revolve around understanding the unconscious material of the psyche, its applicability to the psychedelic experience is an exciting, yet largely unexplored realm.
