What Is Depth Psychology?
What is Depth Psychology? The modern field of depth psychology originates in the work of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, who called attention to the importance of what lies "below the surface" of conscious awareness. This dimension of psychic reality is revealed in the literary genres of the time, in the expressive arts of a culture, in dreams, and in the symptoms of individuals and communities. The concepts of depth psychology resulting from this long development are at the core of Pacifica's orientation. These ideas—such as the importance of symbol and metaphor in personal and cultural imagery or the recognition of the dynamic interplay between the natural world and the human psyche—are articulated in the Depth Psychology Program.
