In this episode we explore the topics:

• Hillman’s post-Jungian archetypal psychology
• Personifying vs. personalizing
• Cultivating an imaginal animism
• How personifying inspires us to care for the world
• Pathologizing means listening to and following the symptom
• “The gods have become diseases” & recogizing the god in the symptom
• The three types of denial of psychopathology

Glen Slater studied psychology and comparative religion at The University of Sydney before coming to the United States in 1992 for doctoral work in clinical psychology. He has been teaching at Pacifica for over twenty years and is currently the Associate Chair of the Jungian and Archetypal Studies specialization. He also teaches in the Mythological Studies program. His publications have appeared in a number of Jungian journals and essay collections, and he edited and introduced the third volume of James Hillman’s Uniform Edition, Senex and Puer, as well as a collection of faculty writings, Varieties of Mythic Experience: Essays on Religion, Psyche and Culture. Beyond his work in Jungian and Archetypal Psychology, he writes on psyche and film as well as the psychology of technology. He lectures internationally in these areas of interest.
