Welcome to Pirate Therapy and the Quest: for the Mystic Bootye!
Living in a Culture of Pirates
"What we from our point of view call colonization, missions to the heathen, spread of civilization, etc., has another face–-the face of a bird of prey seeking with cruel intentness for distant quarry–-a face worthy of a race of pirates and highwaymen. All the eagles and other predatory creatures that adorn our coats of arms seem to me apt psychological representatives of our true nature." (--C.G. Jung)

In his lifelong study of the individual and the meaning of life, the eminent psychologist ,Dr. Carl Jung (1875-1961), came to the conclusion that our "true nature" is that of a "race of pirates." As a psychologist, I was interested in knowing more about our true nature and pirate psychology. However, I found that there were NO entries in the catalogs of psychological literature listed under the categories of Pirate archetype or Pirate psychology. Then, I decided that I would make this the topic of my research studies.
