I agree with your proposed alternative approach to teaching depth psychology but more as an adjuvant than a treatise. We are as much a society of instant gratification, we desire summated knowledge to maximize our efficiencies while our psychic problems compound, we have little time for the “couch” without potato chips and Netflix in a kind of perverted more to self care. We abhor the self imposed isolation required to solemnly embrace the souls love for us yet alone the feeling language to dialogue with it effectively. We simply neglect to understand the profundity of wisdom that lies dormant in our lived experience. Dostoyevsky’s - Notes From Underground is a pointed yet great example of your proposed approach as is classic poetry but who reads that anymore, certainly not promulgated in mainstream academia obiter dictum.
