The Therapeutic Implications of the Hero's Myth in GIM Therapy

Journal/Book: Journal of the Association for Music & Imagery. 1995; 4: 49-65.

Abstract: "This article discusses the occurence of the Hero's Journey myth as it appears spontaneously and programmatically in the therapeutic processes evoked by GIM. It takes a broad look on the role of myth in the journey towards wholeness and a more specific look at how GIM provides a fertile ground for the thematic development of the Hero's Journey myth. The article describes an evocative music program designed around the pattern of the myth cycle as researched by Joseph Campbell, and gives examples of Hero's Journeys experienced by persons listening to this music program in GIM settings."
