LGBT Soul Psychology: the Alchemy of Same-Sex Love, Bi-Love and Gender Variance

Catalog description

This course encourages students to explore the possibility that LGBTQ individuals experience similar and differing representations of archetypal patterns that necessitate revisiting concepts, such as anima/animus and shadow (the personal unconscious), that comprise the individuation process advanced by depth psychology. Students will explore depth therapists’ and scholars’ works that conceptualize an integration of Jungian psychological theory and practice with LGBTQ-affirmative psychotherapeutic theory and practice across the socio-cultural spectrum.
