ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the set of ideas used by Hillman in Re-Visioning Psychology, his most comprehensive argument for replacing an analytical psychology with an aesthetic psychology, or a creative discipline that is "closer to the arts, to writing, to painting, and making music". In the sense that soul-making is a function of the imagination, the four principles of imaginal lysis in Re-Visioning Psychology can be understood as categories of the imagination, which was how Jung identified archetypes, but with a significant difference. A re-visioned psychology seeks its personifications in the prima materia of depth psychology, the classical myths. Personifying also explains the advent of the soul's discourse, psyche-logos, in the domain of medical science; it leads to the discomfiture, the dis-ease of the ego. Pathologizing therefore "forces the soul to a consciousness of itself as different from the ego and its life—a consciousness that obeys its own laws of metaphorical enactment in intimate relation with death".
