Bringing Jung into the Classroom: Psyche at School, Symbol as Teacher

Darrell Dobson, PhD, President, Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies

How do we honor the psyche in the classroom? How can we train teachers to understand the symbols that arise in the psyches of their students and in the world around us? What does an understanding of Jung have to offer our educational system?

In an era when standardized test scores are prized more than meaningful experiences and corporate values are mistaken for educational goals, this presentation explores ways to invite depth, meaning, and authenticity into public education settings. The presentation is for everyone who would have loved to have been schooled by teachers trained in Jung’s approach, and for everyone who would like the same for their children. The presentation includes ideas, stories, and examples of practices that draw on analytical psychology to honor psyche in the classroom.
