Short Intro Archetypal psychology – Stanley Richards

To have any sense of the depths of the psyche is to grasp how little one knows about oneself. To feel this one must have glimpsed the depths. Archetypal psychology, following Carl Jung, begins with the Socratic grasp of one’s ignorance, not just as an intellectual admission, but as truly standing in awe before the unfathomable caverns of the soul.
Dear reader, do not surf on by. Linger a while! As in life, sometimes it is good to pause where one has landed.

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
C.G. Jung’s psychology was based on an authentic notion of soul, but this notion was only intuitive, implicit, not conceptually worked out. His followers forfeit his heritage, often turning psychology either into pop psychology or into a scientific, clinical enterprise. It is the merit of James Hillman’s archetypal psychology to have brought back the question of soul to psychology. But as ‘imaginal’ psychology it cannot truly overcome psychology’s positivistic, personalistic bias that it set out to overcome. Its “Gods” can be shown to be virtual-reality type gods because it avoids the question of Truth. Through what logically is the movement of an “absolute-negative interiorization”, alchemically a “fermenting corruption”, and mythologically a Dionysian dismemberment, one has to go beyond the imaginal to a notion of soul as logical life, logical movement. Only then can psychology be freed from its positivism and cease being a subdivision of anthropology, and can the notion of soul be logically released from its attachment to the notion of the human being.

Archetypal Psychology Home

Welcome… What is now known as the school of ‘archetypal psychology’ was founded by James Hillman with a number of other Jungians in Zurich in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The school arose in reaction against what they regarded as unnecessarily metaphysical assumptions in Jung and the complacent, rote application of Jungian tenets. Hillman prefers to regard archetypal psychology not as a ‘school’ but as a ‘direction’ or an ‘approach’.
Archetypal psychology is a post-Jungian psychology, a critical elaboration of Jungian theory and practice after Jung.

Interview with Josh Duhl

The power of a community environment will eventually replace e-mail as the dominant mode of group communication. In some form, community communication serves a critical function for almost every business, and most major business will make significant investments in community capabilities in Internet, Extranet, and Intranet settings in the next two years.

This is an incredible statement – but true! Thanks to Dan Randow for the reference.

The new economy is very active in France at the moment. There are many communities developing around the Internet. LinkUAll provides technology for the Net industry: calendars, address books, group messaging, file storage. The important thing is to provide a common platform for the tools so people have a unified set of collaboration tools that can be used separately or together – but organized in terms of activities. If you link people around activities, you can identify who has the right to see what.”
