In Clinical Practice:
“The more repressed or split-off an aspect of the instinctual Dionysian nature becomes, the more violent and explosive are the results of its release. Looked at clinically and archetypally, we can say that the Dionysian archetype brings fluidity to what is rigid, determined, and controlled; breaks down useless attitudinal barriers; and dissolves outlived collective values. But this does not do justice to the living of such a crisis that is painful, overwhelming, and violent, here there is no such map. Each individual has to discover, through suffering the problem, what exactly has been outlived.” - Virginia Beane Rutter
