A seminar with Jonathan Young The great quest stories can be guides to developing a sense of purpose, and belonging. This is a course on how the search for meaning shapes adult psychological life. We will demonstrate methods for drawing insights from legend and folklore, such as the tales of the search for the Holy Grail. We will show how to analyze the structure of quest stories for key metaphors and for parallels with dreams - to reveal how the development of a sense of meaning can be crucial in identity formation. Presented at an introductory level for doctoral psychologists, this seminar is useful for counselors, teachers, writers, clergy, and those interested in archetypal perspectives on their own quests for meaning.
The material is presented at an introductory level, requiring no background in mythic studies, narrative theory, or Jungian psychology. The following CE credits are available:
