Course details
Programme Aims:
- Ability to apply an understanding of key concepts of Jung’s model of the psyche to oneself and within a group setting.
- Ability to apply Jungian concepts to dream and image interpretation.
- Demonstrate an awareness of key post-Jungian trends and developments.
- Demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of art therapy process and methods.
- Ability to engage in a critical dialogue with contemporary issues in both Jungian psychology and art therapy.
What is the programme about?
This programme mixes experiential with the theoretical in a venture that combines Jungian Psychology with Art Therapy. By using methods such as art-making, journaling and dream interpretation we engage creatively with psyche in a journey that promises to be both fascinating and educational.
Thus, through experiential learning, the participant will get to know Jung’s model of the psyche, some post-Jungian developments and how to apply such insights in everyday life. For those in the healing professions, the programme should enrich and enliven their existing skills. The Jungian approach is also especially suited to those with an artistic streak and also for practicing artists seeking to discover new ways of creative working. Note that a background in the arts is not a requirement.

The genesis of LIT was the Limerick School of Ornamental Art set up in 1852 when the Athenaeum Society started a School of Arts and Fine Crafts in Limerick. In 1963 a series of technical colleges, to be known as Regional Technical Colleges (RTCs) was announced by the then Minister for Education, Patrick Hillery and the first of the RTCs theyre opened in Athlone, Carlow, Dundalk, Sligo and Waterford in 1970.
A regional technical college for Limerick follotheyd in 1974, initially under the name Limerick College of Art, Commerce and Technology (CoACT). CoACT was upgraded to Institute of Technology status in 1997, along with the restof the RTCs. In 1999 LIT was awarded delegated authority by the Higher Education and Training Awards Council, which allows the institute to award its own bachelors, masters and doctorates degrees.
