Neurosciences of Psyche/Depth Psychology of Mind

Beverley Zabriskie (JPA)

The focus, methods, language, and intent in the work of C.G.JUNG and the neuroscientists RODOLFO LLINAS, AND JOSEPH LE DOUX are dissimilar. Yet each has opened entries into the phenomenological, multi-layered registers of the embodied mind and psyche, the physiological, emotional, imaginal and mental ranges of awareness and consciousness. Each approach the human experience across historical and spatial settings, as multiple modes of imprinting, remembering and responding. Each challenges a hierarchical evolutionary view of our species sources of knowledge. Their theories transcend Cartesian and Darwinian constructs, framing human experience -and dreams- in the context of existence shared in kinship with other living forms.
