About this episode
Joseph Campbell continues his exploration of depth psychology and mythology, focusing on the insights of Carl Jung and the journey of individuation.
In this bonus episode, The Psychological Implications of Mythology (Part 2), we continue Joseph Campbell’s exploration of depth psychology—moving from Freud and Adler into the profound insights of Carl Jung. Campbell examines how myth reflects the inner structure of the psyche, tracing the journey from childhood dependency to the mature process Jung called individuation. Along the way, he explores puberty rites, the tension between eros and power, and the ways mythic symbols reveal our lifelong quest for wholeness and integration.
