My Brother Cain
December 13, 1986 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm PST
C.G. Jung introduced the concept of archetypes into modern psychology. He saw archetypes as patterns of instinctual behavior more or less the same everywhere and in everyone, and he found these archetypal patterns expressed in mythology, in literature and in dreams. This workshop will examine the archetypal motif of the hostile brothers, particularly as played out in the biblical myth of Cain, the rejected son condemned to exile for the murder of his brother Abel.
