This course, based on Ed Applebaum’s new book Unfolding the Unconscious Psyche, seeks to demonstrate the value of a dialogue that blends depth psychology with the arts.
Examinations of work by Gustav Mahler, Ingmar Bergman, Frida Kahlo, Edvard Munch, Georgia O’Keefe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Virginia Woolfe, and others, will facilitate group discussions about the artworks, their creators and the individuals who form the work’s audience.
Students are encouraged to view the work from a variety of perspectives and develop their own analytical technique: to follow the clues available, link threads together and analyze what they can see.
Required reading: Unfolding the Unconscious Psyche: Pathways to the Arts, Edward Applebaum Recommended reading: Tender is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald
