Thesis (Ph.D.)--Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2014.

Depth psychology belongs more to the humanities than science; therefore, literature is a vital tool for gaining depth psychological perspective. This dissertation explores rereading---defined as reading a poem, story, or novel for the second (or any subsequent) time---as a depth psychological act.

520 $a Depth psychology belongs more to the humanities than science; therefore, literature is a vital tool for gaining depth psychological perspective. This dissertation explores rereading---defined as reading a poem, story, or novel for the second (or any subsequent) time---as a depth psychological act.
520 $a The process of therapy is imagined in literary terms, where therapist and patient become the reader and the rereader, working together to create an acceptable narrative of one's life story. In therapy, as in rereading, the goal is to gain a sense of the deeper, mythic patterns that underlie one's personal story, to achieve what James Hillman refers to as "seeing through." This dissertation ties the act of "seeing through" to the act of rereading, encouraging readers to reflect on their own acts of rereading in order to see more deeply into themselves.
520 $a The theoretical portion of this study examines reading and rereading through the perspectives of philosophy, literary criticism, neurobiology, and depth psychology in order to illustrate the therapeutic benefits of rereading. The first critical voice in this dissertation is Heraclitus, the Presocratic philosopher who is often referred to as one of the founders of depth psychology. Heraclitus' writings propose two ideas that are fundamental to this study: first, life is a process that involves constant change, and second, the dimension of soul is limitless depth.
520 $a The second perspective is that of phenomenology: the words of a poem or novel remain the same over time, yet a reader can have vastly different experiences reading the same work at different times. Reflecting on the differences of these experiences can help readers make changes in perspective that can be profound, from gaining the ability to live life less robotically (since the same stimulus can bring about different responses), to achieving insight into the deeper mythical story behind one's personal story.
520 $a The theoretical argument is accompanied by a practical demonstration of rereading as a depth psychological process, a part-reading-journal, part-memoir entitled "A Strange Face in the Water: Rereading the Self Through Reflection.".
