James Hillman trained, and later taught, at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich before founding archetypal psychology, a movement that pushed beyond orthodox Jungian analysis to treat myth, image and imagination as central to psychological life. He spent his later years in private practice, lecturing and writing, until his death in Connecticut in 2011.
