Howl in the Wilderness

James Hillman, Psychological Citizenship & Fugitive Democracy | Michael Sipiora | HITW 213

Howling with writer, teacher and archetypal psychologist Michael Sipiora about the political relevance of James Hillman’s archetypal psychology and what it means to be a psychological citizen “Speaking out of the Ancient, Renaissance, and Romantic traditions that animate his archetypal psychology, Hillman calls for each therapist’s room to become a cell of revolution, heresy, and beauty rather than a globule of self-improvement; a place where imagination moves from building castles in sand to constructive visions for the real city; a place of outrage at social injustice rather than adaptation; a place of mourning over ecological destruction rather than of working through depression; a place of shame over failed participation in the present rather shame over past abuses to oneself; and of cosmic involvement rather than of transference and countertransference entanglements.” — Psychological Citizenship & Democracy, Michael Sipiora References: Michael Sipiora, Psychological Citizenship & Democracy James Hillman, City & Soul UE 2, We’ve Had 100 Years of Psychotherapy and the World’s Getting Worse Sheldon Wolin, Fugitive Democracy: And Other Essays Ralph Nader, Civic Self-Respect Philip Cushman, Constructing the Self, Constructing America: A Cultural History of Psychotherapy Robert Reich: https://robertreich.substack.com Wendy Brown, Nihilistic Times: Thinking with Max Weber ThirdAct.org ___________________________ 🔥 SUPPORT & SOUL WORK Join the pack on Patreon: http://patreon.com/howlinthewilderness Depth Counseling with Brian James: http://brianjames.ca Archetypal Men’s Coaching Program: http://brianjames.ca/fourinitiations Personal Myth Program: http://brianjames.ca/personalmyth Follow me on Instagram: http://instagram.com/brianjames.soulwork HITW YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/@howlinthewilderness Send a donation via PayPal: http://paypal.me/brianjamessoul
