Over the past dozen years, Dr. Hillman has presented annual seminars in clinical education. This year, he returns to a topic of his earlier days, Old and Young: Senex and Puer, bringing to the weekend insights derived from his own late-life vantage point.

The archetype of the senex (from which senior, senator, senility arise) rules more and more with each advancing day. Yet, along with servitude to the tyranny of time, the physical bondage, and the medicalization of older individuals and society, something else stirs. The liberation from conformity, as well as a strange idiosyncrasy and spontaneity, attest to the timeless presence of an inner partner—the puer archetype of risk, vision, and joy.

This seminar is an attempt to examine geriatric psychology, the aging of the American psyche and its institutions, and one of its most serious collective syndromes—the fascination with, and yet cruel neglect of, youth.

James Hillman, PH.D., is a psychologist, scholar, international lecturer, and the author of more than 20 books including A Terrible Love of War, The Soul's Code, The Force of Character and Senex and Puer which is part of the series, the Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman. For the creativity of his thinking, the originator of Archetypal Psychology has received many honors, including the Medal of the Presidency of the Italian Republic. He has held teaching positions at Yale University, Syracuse University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Dallas.
