Psychology for Writers [Joshua Marie Wilkinson]

All Levels | If you’re yearning to expand beyond merely competent poetic verse, formulaic essays, and mediocre storytelling lacking the sparks of resonant meaning, this course will give you an array of new tools to develop, hone, and cultivate psychological depth in your creative writing practice. In seminar discussions, brief lectures, and in-class writing, we’ll explore the core concepts of psychoanalysis (including projection, transference, and repetition compulsion) to catalyze your poems, essays, and fictional characters through the deep work of inquiry and reflection.
