Where Depth Psychology Meets the Art of Future-Making
At the heart of my work lies a simple, yet profound premise: the future isn’t something that simply happens – it emerges from how we imagine it, feel into it, and name it. What we project isn’t just prediction; it’s a living mirror of our collective psyche and the deeper narratives shaping culture. This idea animates every project I’ve developed with Routledge: they’re not isolated texts, they’re facets of a single inquiry into how meaning, imagination, and symbolic intelligence shape what comes next.
You can think of these works as holographic reflections — each one contains elements of the others. Together they reveal the whole: a philosophy of cultural imagination as existential and collective work.

Rebirth & Renewal
Symbolic Operating Systems
This volume explores the archetypal cycles of death and rebirth that pulse through psyche and culture alike. Drawing on myth, indigenous wisdom, and Jungian symbolism, it shows how renewal is less a linear trend and more a perennial metamorphosis — one that occurs in myth as much as in biography and civilization.
Here, the phoenix isn’t just a metaphor — it’s a symbolic operating system for understanding transformation, resilience, and emergence. My contribution deepens this thread by tying archetypal renewal to cultural foresight: how we collectively envision new beginnings shapes how they unfold.
Emotions & Affects
Architectures of Meaning
Emotions are not mere internal states — they are architectures of meaning that structure the way individuals and societies orient themselves in time. In this volume, my contribution examines how emotional imagination can be harnessed as a method for psychological and cultural transformation.
By integrating embodied cognition, mirror neuron theory, and depth psychology, this work lays the groundwork for a new kind of emotional intelligence that’s both clinical and cultural. It bridges inner experience with outer narrative — a key theme that resonates through all my Routledge collaborations.
Film Futuristics
Image, and Cultural Evolution
Film, like myth, acts as a reflective surface for the unconscious. In this landmark handbook, my chapter “Film Futuristics: A Forecasting Methodology” makes the case that cinema doesn’t just depict our cultural future — it imagines it. By reading film symbolically and psychologically, we can uncover hidden patterns in collective fears, hopes, and aspirations, and turn them into actionable foresight.
This work sits at the intersection of narrative, image, and cultural evolution — a place where deep psychology meets future-making.
