In contrast to “evidence-based” psychological theory and practice that constrain psychological life to only that which can be physically observed and statistically measured, depth psychology values the full spectrum of psychological experience as vital to human wholeness and wellbeing. This more expansive view of the psyche includes immeasurable realities like consciousness, meaning, imagination, love, spirituality, creativity, and beauty. The global reality of an on-going mental health crisis mandates the integration of more expansive and inclusive models and modalities for health and well-being. Depth Psychology in the 21st Century: An Introduction explores the foundational principles of depth psychology while demonstrating its urgent relevance to the challenges of contemporary culture.

This course introduces key concepts of Depth Psychology based on the work of C. G. Jung—such as the unconscious, archetypes, complexes, individuation, and psychological types. Contextualized within modern cultural, social, and ecological challenges and emergent understandings of sustainable living and mental health, students will engage with Jungian and post-Jungian perspectives—including feminist, decolonial, and indigenous revisions. The curriculum emphasizes depth psychology as both a psychological methodology and a living, evolving framework essential for understanding personal and collective transformation in our rapidly changing world.

Individual Session Descriptions

Week 1: Introduction

Instructor: Dylan Francisco, Ph.D.

Live Zoom session January 8, 2026, 5:00 – 6:30 PM PT

This module will provide an introduction to depth psychology, beginning with its historical origins. The work of Sigmund Freud will be briefly discussed, particularly in relationship to his collaboration with C. G. Jung. The factors leading to the breakdown of Freud and Jung’s partnership will be analyzed as a basis for understanding the distinguishing features of Jung’s approach to the psyche. Jung’s work will then be historically and culturally contextualized to provide insight into aspects of his work that require critique and revision—specifically in relationship to race, women and gender, and colonialism and indigenous peoples. Finally, with Jung’s limitations and prejudices in view, the question “Why study Jung in the 21st century?” will be addressed.

Learning Objectives

1. Identify the kinds of phenomena that resulted in the emergence of depth psychology as a distinct approach to understanding the psyche.

1. Articulate the ideas that distinguish Jung’s view of the psyche from Freud’s.

1. Assess the limitations and prejudices of Jung’s work in historical and cultural context.

1. Describe the continuing relevance of Jung’s work in light of his limitations and prejudices.

 

Week 2: The Emergence of Depth Psychology in Historical Context: Psyche, Culture, and Compensation 

Instructor: Glen Slater, Ph.D.

Live Zoom session January 15, 2026, 5:00 – 6:30 PM PT

This module will outline Jung’s model of the psyche and describe the psychodynamics he perceived at work therein. It will also place the emergence of his ideas in cultural-historical context.

Two crucial streams of thought may be identified in the genesis of Jung’s psychology. The first concerns the view that the psyche contains particular structures. Jung first glimpsed this in relation to his early work with complexes, which he came to see as the organizing elements of the personal unconscious. Later, comparing his patient’s fantasies and dreams with recurring motifs in mythology, religion, and literature, he began to perceive a deeper, more impersonal dimension of the unconscious, the collective unconscious. This deeper dimension, he came to understand, is structured by archetypes—universal and timeless patterns of behavior and imagination. These patterns, which Jung then spent his life exploring, appear in different guises across cultures and throughout history.

The second stream of thought concerns the dynamic relation between different parts of the psyche, the foundation of which is the compensatory relation between the conscious and unconscious. Jung even applied this dynamic to the emergence of depth psychology itself, suggesting that the discovery of the unconscious arose to compensate for the industrialized world’s one-sided emphasis on the rational mind and it’s devaluing of affective, symbolic, and spiritual aspects of human experience.

This module will describe the arising and dovetailing of these understandings in the foundations of Jungian psychology.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify critical cultural-historical factors at work in the genesis of Jungian depth psychology.

1. Describe the key structural elements of Jung’s model of the human psyche.

1. Situate the archetypal patterning of the collective unconscious and the complex organizing of the personal unconscious in the overall trajectory of Jungian thought.

 

Week 3: Psyche and the Sacred

Instructor: David Odorisio, Ph.D.

Live Zoom session January 22, 2026, 5:00 – 6:30 PM PT

To gain an understanding of religious matters, probably all that is left with us today is the psychological approach. That is why I take these thought-forms that have become historically fixed, try to melt them down again and pour them into molds of immediate experience.
~ C.G. Jung, Psychology and Religion, para. 148

This module begins by contrasting Freud’s and Jung’s views of the psychology of religion. Though Freud was dismissive of religion, Jung explored it extensively from the beginning to the end of his life, arguing unequivocally for its psychological importance, going so far as to declare that all psychological problems are essentially spiritual problems which can be cured through an encounter with the numinosum manifesting through “god-images” or the transpersonal “Self.” This module explores the variety of ways people approach and experience the divine through what Jung called “the religious function of the psyche.” Drawing on the mutually enriching fields of depth psychology, comparative mysticism, and consciousness studies, participants will gain a solid foundation in a variety of approaches to the numinous and participate in over a century of sustained reflection and dialogue on the Sacred.

Learning Objectives:

1. Analyze and evaluate Jung’s approach to spirituality and religion in contrast to traditional psychoanalytic and other reductive approaches.

 

2. Critically evaluate the differences between Otto’s concept of the numinous and Jung’s use of this term.
3. Evaluate and understand William James’s definition of “mysticism” and its relevance to contemporary “Spiritual But Not Religious” culture.

 

4. Analyze the relationship between personality and spirituality using biographical examples of well-known individuals. Using this approach they will develop an awareness of the relationship between their own psychological makeup and their approach to spirituality.
5. Evaluate the differences between depth psychological and traditional religious approach to spirit and soul.

 

Week 4: Archetypes

Instructor: Keiron LeGrice, Ph.D.

Live Zoom session January 29, 2026, 12:00 – 1:30 PM PT

Archetypes are the central concept of Jungian psychology and the theory for which C. G. Jung is best known. This module introduces archetypes through a brief overview of the history of the concept in mythology and philosophy, before turning to Jung’s work itself. We will consider the role of archetypes as universal principles and powers, shaping our lives from the background order of the collective unconscious. Introducing the major Jungian archetypes (such as the hero, the shadow, the anima and animus, the child, rebirth, and the trickster), we will examine the place of archetypes in the individuation process and as dynamic animating factors that give rise to myth, religion, and art. We will also touch on the evolution of the concept in Jung’s later work (such as his theory of synchronicity), and in the fields of archetypal psychology and archetypal cosmology.

Learning Objectives:

1. Demonstrate a basic theoretical understanding of the nature of archetypes and the history of the concept.

1. Describe the primary Jungian archetypes, gaining an initial sense of their character and function.

1. Analyze the symbolic expression of archetypes in myth, fairytales, and the arts.

 

Week 5:

Instructor: Peter Dunlap, Ph.D.

Live Zoom session February 5, 2026, 5:00 – 6:30 PM PT

In this module we can get to know a little bit about CG Jung and more about his primary ideas of the “Self,” “Persona,” “Shadow,” and “Anima” and “Animus.”  This will help us understand that at the heart of his vision of psychology is an understanding that the individual transforms within themselves the ills of their community and becomes a type of “remedy” for those ills.  While this process of “individuation” can be misinterpreted in a narrow sense of individual development, this broader experience of transformative reciprocity between the individual and their community is more truly Jung’s vision of our shared humanity. As we explore his ideas and his life, we can tell our own story of our own turn toward psychology, transformation, and becoming our own unique remedy.

Learning Objectives:

1. Articulate CG Jung’s idea of the persona and shadow
2. Describe the difference between CG Jung’s “analytical” “complex” psychologies.
3. Distinguish between Jung’s idea of the “self” and “ego.”
4. Explain the difference between Freud’s understanding of the unconscious and CG Jung’s

 

Week 6: Complexes

Instructor: Sukey Fontelieu, Ph.D., LMFT

Live Zoom session February 12, 2026, 12:00 – 1:30 PM PT

This module provides an introduction to Jung’s theory of complexes and to the recent development of a theory of cultural complexes. Jung’s theory of intrapsychic complexes and post-Jungian additions to that theory launch the course, followed by the theory of cultural complexes as laid out by Thomas Singer and Samuel Kimbles. In his seminal essay “A Review of the Complex Theory,” Jung called complexes the via regia, or royal road, leading from the personal to the collective unconscious. This class explores complexes on multiple levels–personal, familial, and cultural—analyzing their phenomenology, their autonomy over individuals, and their influences on groups and cultures. The class is taught using traditional lectures as well as experiential learning to encourage an embodied understanding of the material.

Learning Objectives:

1. Analyze the structure, dynamics, and value of personal complexes.

1. Evaluate strategies to transform traumatic complexes.

1. Discuss the linkage between a complex in the personal unconscious and the archetypal level of the collective unconscious.

1. Assess the value and potential healing created by identifying cultural complexes in modernity.

 

 

Week 7: Signs and Symbols in Jung

Instructor: Susan Rowland, Ph.D.

Live Zoom session February 19, 2026, 5:00 – 6:30pm PT

This module examines C. G. Jung’s notion of psychic images as signs or symbols. Understanding these provides insight into how depth psychology works, for example with dream images. The module will track signs and symbols in The Collected Works, show how these types of images operate in the psyche, and why Jung considered them useful in art. Moreover, we will look at symbols as the starting place for the practice of active imagination. Finally, the module will explore how symbols and active imagination became the genesis of Jung’s Red Book (2009)

 

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the nature, definition and nuances of C. G. Jung’s sign and symbol.

 

 

2. Demonstrate how sign and symbol operate in Jung’s model of the psyche and how Jung used them to propose ways of working with the arts.

 

3. Practice Applying active imagination.

 

4. Identify and interpret signs and symbols within clinical and cultural material, and applythe method of active imagination to facilitate a deeper understanding of the psyche.

 

5. Analyze and discuss Jung’s The Red Bookas both a creative product and a source of psychological signs and symbols relevant to therapeutic and personal development work.

 

Week 8: Introduction to Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy: Pairing the psychobiological with the psychedelic

Instructor: Juliet Rohde-Brown, Ph.D.

Live Zoom session February 26, 2026, 5:00 – 6:30pm PT

It can be said that in the world today, there is a mental health crisis. Overly rational and linear approaches have resulted in a fragmented collective psyche. Jung warned about the dryness of what he referred to as the “spirit of the times” and invited us to consider honoring the “spirit of the depths”  which he also referred to as the “rhizome” layer, that which supports and guides via the transcendent function and opens to creativity, acceptance, integration of shadow aspects, compassion and collective care.  This is the way of individuation, moving toward psychological, somatic, and spiritual integration and wholeness. Having a therapeutic guide in this process is important. In mental health services, there is a call to weave the rational with the intuitive, the soma, the symbol, the heart, and the earth, and view our individual lives in the context of all our relations, both human and non-human.

This module will focus on the meaning of individuation from depth perspectives that are inclusive and offer the value of holistic frameworks in mental health from Jungian and post-Jungian stances. We will explore how these concepts and practices impact the way mental health is understood and addressed. The module will include a recorded talk with PowerPoint slides, prompts for reflection, readings, and a live virtual gathering for questions, discussion, and experiential exploration.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Define individuation from depth psychological perspectives.
2. Describe the elements and value of a holistic approach to mental health, grounded in Jungian and post-Jungian frameworks.
3. Apply symbolic processes in personal and professional therapeutic frameworks as understood from depth psychology.
4. Articulate how depth psychology benefits mental health by expanding from individual to collective contexts, honoring world traditions.

Week 9: Psychological Types

Instructor: Yvonne Nelson-Reid, Ph.D. 

Live Zoom session March 5, 2026, 5:00 – 6:30pm PT

This module will focus on C. G. Jung’s theory of psychological types. Jung is widely known for his theory of psychological types, the basis for and popularized by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment. In this module, students learn about Jung’s theory, including the historical background, general descriptions of the types, the attitudes (extraversion, introversion) and the functions (sensation, intuition, thinking, feeling), the unconscious role of typology, the inferior function and individuation, type development, the evolution of type through the work of Isabel Briggs Myers, and the universality of type to better understand cultural narratives. Throughout this module, students are asked to explore their own personal typology by reflecting on the material and their life experience.

Learning Objectives:

1. Articulate the ideas and historical background of Jung’s work that led to the development of his theory of psychological types.

1. Identify key typological concepts such as attitudes, functions, and type development.

1. Examine and evaluate the eight Jungian functions in self, other, and culturally.

1. Apply a type lens to cultural narratives.

1. Evaluate how Jung’s typology and the Myers-Briggs® model of personality type are experienced for you personally.

 

Week 10: Ecopsychology 

Instructor: Jeanine M. Canty, Ph.D. 

Live Zoom session March 12, 2026, 5:00 – 6:30pm PT        

This module will introduce ecopsychology, a body of work that looks at the human disconnection from nature, and how this affects both our psychological wellness and the health of the Earth. We will situate ecopsychology both as a counter movement to mainstream psychology, with roots in both indigenous, earth-based ways of being, as well as an important family member within depth psychology. Participants will gain both foundational and advanced understanding of ecopsychological roots, their connection to Jungian principles, and emergent areas. In addition, participants will be encouraged to reflect on the concepts of this module, build capacity with engaging with the sentient world, as well as turn towards the ecological crisis and how depth psychology might offer new pathways for healing.

Learning Objectives:

1. Assess how our human disconnection with nature impacts our individual and collective wellbeing and fosters the ecological crisis.

1. Apply ecopsychology within a depth psychology as well as a Jungian framework, through related concepts and intentions.

1. Explain the relationship of both ecopsychology and depth psychology to indigenous wisdom.

1. Analyze some emergent ideas and practices within an ecopsychological, depth psychology focus.

 

Week 11: Psyche and Creativity : Depth Psychology’s Aesthetic Soul

Instructor: Mary A. Wood, PhD.

Live Zoom session March 19, 2026, 12:00 – 1:30pm PT

“The autonomous activity of the psyche . . . is, like every vital process, a continually creative act. Psyche creates reality every day. The only expression I can use for this activity is fantasy. . . . Fantasy it was, and ever is which fashions the bridge between the irreconcilable claims of subject and object, introversion and extroversion. In fantasy alone, both mechanisms are united.”

~ C.G. Jung, CW 6, p. 52, para. 78.

 

“A full depth psychology, expressing the nature of Psyche must also be a depth aesthetics. . . . If we would recuperate the lost soul, which is the aim of all depth psychologies, we must recover our lost aesthetic reactions, our sense of beauty.”

~ James Hillman, Thought of the Heart and Soul of the World, p. 41.

 

This module will explore a range of depth psychological perspectives on Psyche’s essential aesthetic nature, as well as its instinctual and unceasing creativity. Participants will engage with both historical and contemporary ideas from a range of thinkers and artists/makers about creativity and how it is expressed through humans, through nature, and through the cosmos. In addition, participants will examine Western biases which frame creativity as a pastime or luxury rather than a vital instinct; these unrecognized biases relegate creative expression to children and to professional artists while limiting the imagination of the culture at large.

 

Jungian and archetypal psychologies are deeply indebted to the influences of thousands of years of accomplishments in the fine arts, literature, mythology, philosophy, history, religion, and the other disciplines that fall within the humanities–a range of human exploration and expression that is currently under assault in the US. Participants will consider the power of the arts and humanities and why they are always seen as a threat by autocrats. This module will also delve into depth psychology’s profound insights into the “opus” of our human lives–the daily work involved in creating one’s life, vocation, and relationship to the cosmos–including our souls.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Demonstrate a foundational understanding of depth psychology’s rootedness in culture–in the arts and humanities.
2. Analyze C.G. Jung’s theories on psyche’s inherent creative nature along with key examples of Jung’s own creative practices, which were integral to his life and work, and continue to influence the evolution of depth psychology.
3. Describe archetypal psychology’s essential orientation toward culture, and to a “poetic basis of mind,” along with an introduction to James Hillman’s groundbreaking writings on psyche, beauty, art and artmaking, image, and imagination.
4. Apply an attunement toward depth psychological perspectives on creativity and the creative process as expressed through the lives, works, and words of creators themselves, both historical and contemporary.
5. List applications for depth psychology’s reverence for creative expression–what Hillman called “the artist’s fantasy”– in one’s own life, regardless of vocation.

 

Week 12: Closing Module

Instructor: Dylan Francisco, Ph.D.

Live Zoom session March 26, 2026, 5:00 – 6:30pm PT

In our closing session, students will come together in both small and large group dialogues to reflect on the key ideas, themes, and approaches explored throughout the 12-week course. This integrative discussion invites participants to weave together personal insights and theoretical understandings, deepening their appreciation of how depth psychology continues to evolve and remain relevant in the 21st century.
