The Delphic Podcasts by Michael R D James, Review of Campbells "Myths to Live By" Season 14 Episode 10

Schizophrenia  takes many forms and all forms are designated by psychiatric medicine as psychotic conditions. Paranoid Schizophrenia is concerned with the defence mechanisms of splitting, projection and denial (that one is ill, for example)Campbell refers to shamanic crises in this context and likens their experience unto the hero embarking on a long and dangerous Odyssey  into the unknown. Jungs theory of the collective archetypes of the unconscious is a very different kind of account to that we find in Freud, in spite of the claim by both Psychologists to be influenced by Kant.http://michaelrdjames.orgDelphic Podcast
