The Psychopomp Function:
Correlations Between Psychotherapists and Mythic Figures Who Guide Souls After Death

The Psychopomp Function provides a new perspective for psychotherapists and an alternate frame to our identification with the wounded healer archetype.

​

Come explore how the role of depth psychotherapists symbolically correlates to the role of the psychopomp (a guide of souls after death).

​

Presenting a cross-cultural examination of mythic figures who guide death-departed souls to the otherworld and how their function correlates to the work of the depth psychotherapist.

In addition you'll learn how depth psychotherapists naturally invoke the psychopomp function in their work.
