The term: ‘archetype’ was coined by the Swiss psychoanalyst and psychiatrist: Carl Gustav Jung.
Jung’s work has been influential not only in psychology, but also in anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, and religious studies. The archetypes, Jung argued, influence the unfolding of human development, are the sources of our dreams, and are enacted in the myths and rituals of almost every culture that has ever existed in human history.
In our tenth episode, Anthony will explore Carl Jung’s theory of archetypes – specifically what they are, he will explain the 12 different types, provide examples in popular films and literature to aid understanding, and discuss why it is good to think through Archetypes.
