Chapter 13: Archetypal Constellations and Violence ⚡🧠

Archetypal Constellations and Violence ⚡🧠

• Shadow’s violence: Dominant shadow → nations at war; person unaware of own evil; examples: wars, epidemics, chaos 🌪️💣
• Child’s violence: Wants everything immediately; frustrated → violent tantrums 👶💥
• Great Mother’s violence: Protects loved ones fiercely; fearsome forms like Kali Devi, Durga Mata 🛡️🔥
• Hero’s violence: Naturally fights dragons/villains for noble cause 🦸‍♂️⚔️
• Wise Old Man’s violence: Rarely violent; perverted form → deceit, misguides hero → trickster 🧙‍♂️🕵️‍♂️
• Anima’s violence: Softens brutality, hinders even justified violence 💃🕊️
• Animus’s violence: Can drive women to violent acts like shadow 👩⚡
• Trickster’s violence: Extreme aggression like shadow; chaotic and cunning 🤡🔥
• Self’s violence: Justifiable/holy violence; others convinced (e.g., Jihad, Crusade) ✨🗡️
• Violence occurs when archetypes fail to work together ⚠️

Behaviorist Perspective 🐾

• Human behavior learned like animal behavior; break behaviors into small pieces to understand
• New info associates with known info; scientific approach to behavior 🧪📘

Classical Conditioning (Pavlov) 🔔🐶

• Stimulus (S) → Response (R); starts with reflex (innate/involuntary)
• Unconditioned Stimulus (US) → Unconditioned Response (UR)
• Neutral Stimulus (NS) paired with US → becomes Conditioned Stimulus (CS) → Conditioned Response (CR)

Model Steps:

1. US naturally elicits UR 🌭→🤤
2. NS alone → no response 🎵→😐
3. NS + US repeatedly 🎵+🌭→🤤
4. NS becomes CS; CS elicits CR 🎵→🤤

• No new behaviors learned; association develops
• Emotional behaviors influenced: happy, sad, angry 😊😢😡
• Childhood associations affect adult behaviors & violence 👶➡️🧑

Extinction ❌

• CR weakens when CS no longer followed by US
• CS alone → no CR 🎵→😐
• Repeated CS without US eliminates learned response
