CIL 4530 - Creativity, Individuation and Depth Psychology

This experiential eight-week course will explore the depth psychological journey of creativity and individuation. According to Carl Jung, individuation is the process of becoming a separate, whole self that each of us experiences during the course of our lives, as we move through the stages of child and adult development. It involves the fundamentally creative process of incorporating unconscious material into consciousness and integrating the various strands of our being in a process of discovery and self-realization that in turn motivates and informs our creative work. The course will review how specific depth psychological concepts relate to creativity and the creative process including individuation, alchemy, active imagination, the unconscious, and the hero's journey. 3 credit(s)
