My boyfriend gifted me 'The Thought of the Heart and the Soul of the World' when I was battling cancer. Hillman gave me back my sight and my voice when empirical psychology could not. May he rest...
James Hillman is formidable. I had the pleasure to meet him briefly at a conference at Pacifica. His thoughts and ideas are challenging, but I always gain something important from them. I am so grateful for his contributions.
It's pretty ironic that the company that produced this video no longer offers it on their website, but have hundreds of training videos of just the kind of reductive, soulless, cognitive-based psychology that Hillman despised.
I enjoyed meeting James personally just he and I in the elevator at the Milton Erickson Conference 2000. I asked him about sociopaths..is it nature, nurture or fate? He said..it can just be..the daimon (soul)
The interview took place at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA, where James Hillman was also on faculty. The interview misnamed the school by accident, or lapsus as "Pacifica Graduate School".
It`s because the medical establishment seems trained not to question root causes these days,probably cause there is no profit to be made in actually healing a disorder and you need to know the root cause before you can heal.
Yes. That’s why I dropped psychology from my requirements years ago in college. The only part I wrote and studied was Gestalt. Jung was not regarded as viable fodder to munch on in those days.
Perhaps it should be obvious that what politicians do is no measure of how psychologically astute the society is, nor is it a measure of how nice a politician's parents were or any such factor. Governments naturally grow and seek ever more power. Too many psychologists and social thinkers equate government with society. They talk about what "we" do, but "we" the people, in every nation, have very little say or control of what politicians do. People who have power will always abuse power. The problem is with power itself.
Michael Damian However, in America, the voters DO have the power, at least theoretically, to determine the course our government takes by who gets voted in or out. So the psyche of each citizen is essential to be engaged in this process. Hillman was highly critical of how so much of modern psychotherapy exteriorized the problems of people, rather than as being a part of a “ sick “ culture. He called for a radical revolution, or at least revision of the psychotherapy industry in the West. See his seminal work “ ReVisioning Psychology “.
@suddenlyitsobvious Hello. You seem to have a considerable animus against Dr. Hillman. Have you read any of his work? I will admit that this video hardly presents very much of the substance to be found therein. And it would perhaps be unfair to expect any kind of in-depth recapitulation of a decades-long engagement with psyche and its pathology from a 7 minute video interview.
I don't feel like it is necessary to viscously tarnish his 'reputation' as afigure in psychology,even if your generalization about the commenters on this video are true. People interested in his kind of thing willingly accept what you call inflated discourse just like they will certainly ignore certain aspects of factual science. But that's why Im not convinced by your generalizations of anything.
My boyfriend gifted me 'The Thought of the Heart and the Soul of the World' when I was battling cancer. Hillman gave me back my sight and my voice when empirical psychology could not. May he rest...
Amen.
This guy changed my view of life in a profound way.
me too
Right On and this man's knowledge is what I require and more at this stage in my life.
Hi. I'm curious about him, where should I start, what should I search for?
Hillman Is the best profet of Life. No commercial psichology allowed.
@arash_the_author the soul's code is one I enjoy and accessible
James Hillman is formidable. I had the pleasure to meet him briefly at a conference at Pacifica. His thoughts and ideas are challenging, but I always gain something important from them. I am so grateful for his contributions.
Like his tie and the socks. A playfull soul is a living soul.
You are absolutely correct! 🍪
He was a master, i loved his book "The soul's code".
Concetto Salvatore Questorino currently reading and it is phenomenal
Currently reading it. Incredible book. Particularly the chapter on Penny Dreadfuls and Pure Fantasy. Brilliant insight into the human soul.
Is Hillman no longer living?
I know nothing about him.
James Hillman is one of the deepest thinker of our current society
Love his book Force of Character. I am Jamaican
BlueMIndMaverick It's sad that too little people like him exist.
"little people"? you must mean "few people."
I was so lucky to have heard him lecture at Pacifica in the 90's. His book, "A Blue Fire" was seminal for me at that time.
I just stumbled on this guy yesterday. Wow!! Just wow
Hi. I'm curious about him, where should I start, what should I search for?
Wonderful. This guy is awesome. He knows his shit.
¡¡¡ En español por favor !!! We Love James Hillman too

No surprise. Yet deeply tragic.
the brain is the most important organ...... according to the brain
HAHAHA! so true
I just started “A Blue Fire.” I love it already.
Great man.
Miss him.
I enjoyed meeting James personally just he and I in the elevator at the Milton Erickson Conference 2000. I asked him about sociopaths..is it nature, nurture or fate? He said..it can just be..the daimon (soul)
Thanks for sharing about your conversation with him.
Thank you Donna!
I loved The Dream and the UNDERWORLD
Yes, Psychology must be envisioned/revisioned, in order to integrate like minded approaches.
I love how he's forced to ask his own questions and answer them...haha. dont blame her for being timid...may he rest well
That was a great day to be on the Pacifica campus. Such energy and soul.
Dem sox tho

"I don't think psychology is the 'study of the soul' as universities present it." James Hillman
wish we could have heard more after that quote!
Very insightful.
It`s because the medical establishment seems trained not to question root causes these days,probably cause there is no profit to be made in actually healing a disorder and you need to know the root cause before you can heal.
Medicine is unfortunately still rooted in Euclidean geometry an the world of mechanics and pumps. This of course is a citadel in collapse! Good!
Yes. That’s why I dropped psychology from my requirements years ago in college.
The only part I wrote and studied was Gestalt.
Jung was not regarded as viable fodder to munch on in those days.
It is the scherzo of the third symphony of Beethoven, which as known as the Eroica symphony.
Extremely inspiring :-)
What a nice man
AMAZING !!!!!
I heard and saw the words "archetypal," "psyche," and "soul"-- but not once did I hear or see the name CARL GUSTAV JUNG.
@Jessie Watson Yes, thanks!
Very common concepts these day; doubt that he's stealing Jung's brilliance.
Hillman is far from stupid, or careless.
He used to work for Jung, but he got fired.
Parabéns pela iniciativa.

Politics are 100% soulless.
Exactly how do people suppose that with a vote they can interfere with a politicians own will and desires
Very True❤
I see him as not aging. He's so funny with this reporter--had he been younger he would have been openly angrier. So he mellowed?
when was this recorded? thanks so much for posting.
Forgive me, for I have sinned, dad.
@BlueMIndMaverick Totally agree
@BlueMIndMaverick Indeed

The socks were a little distracting.
Close your eyes 😂
She reminds me of Sally Draper's therapist in Mad Men.
That'd be funny if it was the same woman.
does anyone else notice that hillmans socks are always some weird color?
That’s cool
founder??? Jung should hold this title
He deviated from Jung.
I heard Beethoven.

Sir, it seems you might find a lot of interest Female_hysteria .
I'm a dude that enjoys sewing
That's your Anima at work.
Oboe! 星
I don't believe in aura incoherence
I think about the Harbinger
"You have to believe" yup mais chassez le naturel et il revient au galop. It's called common sense.
Glad to inspire teacher to do some researching in all this teaching.
It'd be cool to be less "psychology-centric" don't fall inti psychic nonsense
his socks have a psyche of their own...
This gal interviewing him is so concerned with coming up with interested grunts, "oh?" and "Um-HUM" sounds, she's barely listening to her subject.
it would be funny if she let off a loud fart
I learned nothing
Your soulless, your not supposed to
Try reading a book. It says a lot about yourself with your comment on a 7 minute video.
psychic socks... soul socks!
So stealing jungs ideas and passing them as his own.
Behave
