06 71 Lecture | “Giving full expression to nature is a constant violation of nature” (C.G. Jung, Letters to Hedy Wyss, p. 53) [Part 1 of 2] - Schweizer
This lecture provides an introduction to C.G. Jung’s letters to the artist and analysand Hedy Wyss, a unique testimony to his sparkling spirit; it was first published in 2023. Here we see the compassionate and deeply human side of Jung. He writes neither scientifically nor cautiously, but quite spontaneously. He mentions his suffering from various physical ailments. At the same time he struggles to maintain the integrity of the analytical relationship and the veracity of love. See: C.G. Jung: Letters to Hedy Wyss 1936 – 1956. Edited and with a Commentary by Andreas Schweizer, Daimon, 2023.

01 73 Lecture | Anima and Animus as Gendered Soul: Identity, Diversity and Plurality in the Consulting Room and in Daily Life
We will consider the evolving relevance of Jung’s contrasexual formulation. In particular, we will address the challenge of marrying Jung’s initial discovery of the gendered soul to the flowering of plurality in contemporary presentations of sexuality and gender. Using an energic model for understanding the subtle workings of anima and animus, we can better work with clinical presentations as well as deal with interpersonal and intrapsychic dynamics in daily life.
