Roger M. Knudson, Professor of Psychology
120 PSYC
513-529-2404
Education
Ph.D. 1977 University of Illinois
Theoretical Orientation
I am most deeply influenced by Hillman's archetypal psychology.
Recently Taught Undergraduate Courses
Psychology Across Cultures
Senior Capstone – Dreams/Dreaming/Dreamers
Recently Taught Graduate Courses
I teach both modules and a practicum course introducing the archetypal approach. I teach a summer section of History & Systems each year for clinical students that emphasizes the philosophy of clinical psychology. I also am part of the faculty group that teaches a graduate level course in qualitative research methods.
Research Interests
My current research focuses on dreams, especially significant dreams. I have an on-going interest in qualitative research methods.
Opportunities for Graduate Students
Each year several graduate students have an opportunity to lead an experiential dream group in the context of my undergraduate seminar on dreams. This has been an excellent introduction both to group work and to dreams. I also have a regular summer archetypal psychology study group. We read, do dream work, watch films, and do dream inspired art projects of various sorts.
