James Hillman and Archetypal Psychology

James Hillman's archetypal psychology: soul-making, mythic imagination, and polytheistic psyche.

James Hillman (1926–2011) founded archetypal psychology, extending Jung toward soul, myth, and image — "stick with the image."

Landmark: Re-visioning Psychology (1975). Contrasts with ego-adaptation models; emphasizes pathologizing as soul-making.

Influences psychological astrology through imaginal, non-literal symbol work.
