50 Years of James Hillman’s Re-visioning Psychology (RVP50) | Benjamin Sells | HITW 207

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of James Hillman’s magnum opus Re-visioning Psychology, we’re hosting a series of conversations with depth psychologists from diverse backgrounds and broad scope of practice who have been profoundly influenced by the work of James Hillman.

Writer and depth psychologist Ben Sells discusses the impact that Hillman’s ideas have had on his life and career over the past 50 years, and how they continue to inspire and inform his recent work on beauty, soul and aesthetic animism.
