Lecture: Fundamental Jung
Jon Maaske, Ph.D., Jungian Analyst
Carl Jung's psychological concepts permeate our culture. This lecture for the general public will give an overview of Jung's Analytical Psychology and examine both his contributions to contemporary thought and the confirmations and elaborations of his thinking offered by developments in psychology and neuroscience.
We will explore Jung's fundamental concepts that speak to the issues of our times, individually and collectively, including: individuation, psychological type (introversion/extraversion, thinking/feeling, intuition/sensation), complexes, shadow, and anima/animus. We will ask what a Jungian approach to psychotherapy might look like, including working with dreams. And, we will explore Jung's most unique contributions, his concepts of the collective unconscious, archetypes and the Self, which offer the only psychologically integrated model that addresses the diverse human experience of spirituality.
Workshop: Jung in Contemporary Psychotherapy
Jung's psychology can be helpful to a general practice of psychotherapy. This workshop for therapists of all theoretical orientations does not presuppose any prior knowledge of Jungian psychology. We will
look at the clinical implications of some of the concepts covered in the Friday lecture, with an emphasis on dream work, transference/ countertransference, and a relational model of psychotherapy grounded in both Jung and recent developments in neuroscience and relational psychoanalysis.
