James Hillman & Paulo Freire In Conversation | Mary Watkins | HITW 206
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of James Hillman’s magnum opus Re-visioning Psychology, we’re hosting a series of conversations with depth psychologists from diverse backgrounds and broad scope of practice who have been profoundly influenced by the work of James Hillman. Mary discusses her “two intellectual fathers” James Hillman and Brazilian educator and philosopher Paulo Freire and how their work has informed her exploration of the intersections of archetypal psychology with social justice and community work.
