PSY 331 – C.G. Jung
Memories, Dreams, Reflections is an extraordinary document. Part biography, part autobiography (penned by Jung himself), it obscures as much as it reveals about the historical details of the great psychologist’s life. We will look at Memories, Dreams, Reflections through the lens of myth, symbol, and archetype, to analyze the way in which Jung grappled with the great questions: “Who am I; what is my purpose; by what myth do I live?” In this way, we can view the text as a mirror in which each of us can experience our own original face, and our individual lives as living symbols of the psychic matrix into which we are all inextricably woven.
