Strong Hans and Iron Hans: Discovery of the Deep Masculine
Dr. Lionel Corbett examines the fairy tales Strong Hans and Iron Hans to help understand the psyche, family relationships, and masculinity. This program is part of the course, Ecce Homo: Issues in Male Psychology, which examines principal areas of focus within this emerging field and offers insights into the dilemmas of “being a man”. Jung’s attention to the gender question reflected in his theory of archetypes, anima/animus phenomena, and ideas of individuation as a balance of traits within a self, provides a provocative medium for discussion of contemporary male issues.
