PCE Demystifying Jung’s “Archetypes” as Emotional Embodied Metaphors with Erik Goodwyn, MD – On-Demand

Since the 1980s, cognitive psychology has increasingly become embodied from a variety of standpoints. This talk will show how the results of embodied cognition and spontaneous thought demystify many of the attributes Jung described in his archetype theory, making archetype theory not only more comprehensible but clinically applicable in addictions and other emotional challenges. Combining approaches suggests new avenues of inquiry for experimental research and enriches the psychoanalytic perspective. Learning Objectives: 1. List the characteristics of spontaneous thought, as discovered by neuroscience and clinical presentation. 2. Identify the subset of spontaneous images that qualify as “archetypal” using clearly defined criteria. 3. Correctly interpret spontaneous images and narratives as innate embodied metaphors of one’s current emotional state using clearly defined associations.
