THE ARCHETYPE APPROACH — LEVEL 1

Learn to look again. Level 1 introduces the foundations of the Archetype Approach and a new way of observing behaviour, play, relationship and development. This is the starting point for practitioners who want to use the full framework in practice.

MORE THAN TWELVE TYPES

The archetypes are not labels or personality categories. They are patterns and capacities that may become more or less available depending on the child, context, relationship and moment. Level 1 develops the discipline of noticing without fixing the child into a story.

A DIFFERENT STARTING POINT

The archetypes are not labels or personality categories. They are patterns and capacities that may become more or less available depending on the child, context, relationship and moment. Level 1 develops the discipline of noticing without fixing the child into a story.

FROM IDENTIFYING BEHAVIOUR TO READING PATTERNS

​

​

The aim is not to become better at categorising children. It is to become more precise in what you notice. What is happening? What keeps returning? What seems available to this child? What appears harder to access? And what might relationship, rhythm or environment change?

LEVEL 1 EXPLORES

• the twelve archetypes

• the Six Axes of Balance

• light and shadow expressions

• behaviour as information

• relational observation

• provisional rather than diagnostic language

• relationship, rhythm and environment

• reflective practitioner practice

• Observe → Recognise → Balance → Integrate

WHO IS IT FOR?

Practitioners, educators, childminders, leaders and SEND professionals who want to begin using the Archetype Approach formally. No previous study of Jung or archetypal psychology is required.
