In Archetype, Culture, and the Individual in Education: The Three
Pedagogical Narratives, Clifford Mayes presents a unique approach
to understanding how Jungian principles can inform pedagogical
theory and practice. In a time when what the educational historian
Lawrence Cremin called the 'military-industrial-educational
complex' and its standardized education are running roughshod over
the psyche and spirit of students, Mayes deploys depth psychology,
especially the work of Jung, to advance an archetypal approach to
teaching and learning. Mayes demonstrates how catastrophic it is to
students when the classroom is governed by forces that objectify
the individual in a paralysing stranglehold. He argues that one's
life-narrative is significantly impacted by one's narrative as a
learner; thus, schooling that commodifies learning and turns the
student into an object has neuroticizing effects that will spread
throughout that student's entire life. In Part I, Mayes explores
the interaction between archetypes and various types of
time-ultimately focusing on the individual but always mediated by
'the cultural unconscious'. In Parts II and III, he brings together
education with (post-)Jungian and (post-)Freudian psychology,
examining transference/countertransference in the classroom; the
Jungian idea of 'the shadow' applied to educational processes;
Jung's unique vision of 'the symbol' and its importance for
educational theory; and Jung's 'transcendent function' as a prime
educational modality. Mayes concludes by looking to the future of
archetypal pedagogy. This groundbreaking work in the emerging field
of Jungian pedagogy is invaluable reading in Jungian Studies, depth
psychological theory, educational theory, and for teachers and
psychotherapists.
