Get a flavor of Freud’s thinking and how his ideas influenced Carl Jung as well as the way we think today.

This audio course, by our marvelous teacher, James Hollis provides a taste of Freud and his contributions to psychology. Sigmund Freud is one of the greatest thinkers and imaginative artists who brought us different ways of looking at the human condition. We are all influenced by Freud, whether we know it or not, as Hollis shows in this course. This course intends to understand Freud’s thinking rather than critiquing it.

Course Description

The teacher of this course, James Hollis, argues that we live in a post-Freudian era. We are all influenced by Freud and his theories have affected the way we think about the world and psychology today. 

The gift of Sigmund Freud’s thinking is that there is no longer the sense of egocentricity and sovereignty or its absolute importance. Freud replaced this notion with that of the unconscious. We now know that there is much more going on beneath the surface, and our conscious life is being in service to the unconscious drives and motives. This is an idea that we might take for granted today, but it was a revolutionary thought at the time. 

James Hollis, in his familiar engaging teaching style, eloquently discusses the main Freudian theories and concepts in this course. He offers several reading suggestions along the way, but it is not required that you read them. 

Sigmund Freud was born in Austria in 1856 and is the founder of psychoanalysis. Freud developed a friendship with Carl Jung and remained friends with him for several years. However, they split when there were insurmountable differences in their psychological thinking. 

In honor of the contribution that Freud made in the way we think and talk about psychology today, as well as his friendship with Jung, we offer this course here on Jung Platform. 

The recordings of this course were made at the Jung Center in Houston. Jung Platform has remastered the recordings.
