Major Themes and Concepts in Analytical Psychology

This is an introduction to Jung’s structure of the psyche. We will go over the major concepts of analytical psychology such as ego and shadow, persona, archetypes, the Self and individuation.

The Nature of Psyche

What, where and when is psyche, and what is its relationship with matter and time? I will focus on Jung’s most recent thinking, especially his collaboration with Wolfgang Pauli. Consciousness per se is a relatively small, but important, aspect of Jung’s model, through which we experience not just perceptions, but phenomena such as dreams and complexes that have deeper origins. These lead us to the personal and collective unconscious, and fundamental concepts including the archetypes and their manifestations, the psychoid, the Self and the timeless unity of all that is, the unus mundus.

Dreaming and the Work of the Unconscious

Dreams give us insight into how the unconscious operates. Considering the fact that the unconscious is by definition at odds with the conscious mind, any method that aims to cooperate with the unconscious will require a high degree of diplomatic skill. By steering a course between the Scylla of science and the Charybdis of literature, Jung left us with an approach to the unconscious that is constantly updated by means of the fresh data that comes to us in the form of dreams.

Dialogue with Pictures

Pictures speak! They can speak to feelings, mind, body and soul. How they speak depends on our values, culture and state of mind. Some hit hard, some we hardly see. If we let them, pictures convey immediately an atmosphere. The first emotional response can be deepened by examining different aspects of pictures. The closer we look, the deeper we can be touched and surprised. Pictures brought in therapy are additional, helpful voices.

Beginnings, Endings & Filling in the Gaps: The Unconscious in Active Imagination, Dream, Fantasy, Projection, Image, Inferior Function & Synchronicity

Jung's creative approach to relationship with the unconscious found expression in many methods and techniques. Within the symbolic life, it comprises the dance of individuation with respect to/for both depths and surface, ego and self/Self. This lecture will use examples from casework to illustrate dialogue, drama and dynamisms that emerge, converge and engage within and through the psychological process of becoming more whole by embracing parts which help to heal.

The Meaning of Suffering

For Jung, the absence of meaning plays a crucial role in the aetiology of neurosis. “A psychoneurosis must be understood, ultimately, as the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.” CW 11, §497

Encountering the Shadow – Bringer of the Light

Jung held that to encounter and accept our shadow, “the thing we have no wish to be” (CW 16, §470), is fundamental to the process of individuation, to becoming whole. In this lecture we will explore the concept of the shadow as bringer of the light. We will follow the analytical journey of a young woman and examine her encounter with a striking shadow figure that appeared in her initial dream and followed her throughout. We witness the healing and opening to new creative life bestowed upon her, in part, through her courageous encounter with the shadow.

The Mysterious Union of Masculine and Feminine

The mysterious union of masculine and feminine has been described as the sacred marriage, the hieros gamos, or the coniunctio. It portrays the uniting of what Jung described as “impossible” opposites, an event finding its highest value in the embrace of the divine or royal couple. Behind this sublime experience lies a dark suffering. The exiled soul longs to unite with consciousness, at times depicted as the Bride’s anguished yearning for the return of her Bridegroom. Jung called this process the “suffering of becoming conscious”. We will explore the meaning of this ineffable mystery.

Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) – an Increasingly Frequent Diagnosis

The diagnosis ROGD has become more frequent over the past several years, especially among children and young adults. This phenomenon leaves therapists und scientists baffled and concerned. What reasons could be behind the discomfort with one’s own sex to elicit such a massive wish for transformation? Are hormones and operations the best solutions for the body? What happens to the psyche? How can we deal with these clients?

This course requires extra work between sessions.

Sex, Gender and the Anima-Animus Problem in Analytical Psychology

This seminar will look at the difference between sex and gender, the formation of gender identity, and the problems presented by antiquated conceptions of anima and animus. Further, the seminar will look at how psychic energy manifests in and around gender expression, and in relation to a dominant collective, religiously, culturally and psychologically, that marginalizes and demeans difference. Emphasis will be on the phenomenological experience of difference, and how difference appears in the consulting room.

This course requires extra work between sessions.

We will look at Roderick Main, Victor Mansfield, and a spectrum of others. There will be time for discussion.

Healing the Dragon – Mercurius as a Spirit of the Earth

For the alchemists, Mercurius was a light in the darkness. He was the beginning and the end of the alchemical process, dreadful, terrifying and demonic, but also “the philosophic gold, the carbuncle ... the light of lights”. In a thus-far untranslated alchemical text from the 16th century Mercurius appears as a dragon in a fiery mountain, who must be healed of a terrible restlessness. This is done by a remedy consisting of various plants. The lecture looks at Mercurius as a restless dragon, as well as his meaning in our time. It also speaks about his healing by creating the right remedy.

Dionysus: On Complexes & Archetype in Development, Trauma and Pathology with Individual & Collective Considerations

With a view to history, art, and mythology, the psychology of Jung and others, the god Dionysus will be explored on both individual and collective levels.
Contemporary phenomena, as well as dreams from analysands, will illustrate the dynamisms of complexes and the archetype embodied and imagined in Dionysus. Dionysus is a trans-rational god, whose origins and history of trauma can tell us much about ourselves and our wounded relationship with instinct, feeling, and the environment.

Emotional Losses, Mourning, and the Path of Individuation

How may mourning the “big griefs” which disrupt our lives and the “little griefs” of everyday life serve and empower our journey to healing, growth, and authenticity? How may we facilitate the capacity to mourn and begin to process the rupture, suffering, and change that loss entails? We will explore the dynamics of mourning in the service of individuation.

Erich Neumann's Developmental Relational Theory

On synthesizing Neumann’s various texts, a cohesive archetypal developmental relational theory emerges. This lecture presents Neumann’s theory of the different archetypal stages of psychological development from birth, throughout life, to come to a close in the advanced stages of the individuation process. The process centers around the establishment of the ego-Self axis during early life and the primal relationship, and its central role in later psychic health. The lecture will also suggest possible therapeutic applications to child and adult analysis.
