 “. . .every psychology—my own included—has the character of a subjective confession.”   C. G. Jung, CW 4, para. 774

Analytical psychology is the technical narrative of a profound and shattering encounter with the numinosum (a compelling, uncontrollable force that demands submission to fulfilling one’s unique destiny). As such, it reflects the psychological nature of its creator-his genius and his limitations. Jung, out of necessity, developed a theoretical system that could organize and elucidate the prima materia of his fateful experience, and in so doing he left us strategies and tools for our own psychological work.

This seminar will trace the highlights of the history and development of Jung’s psychology in its chronological sequence as it intertwines with his own life experience. This approach will delineate the theory of analytical psychology as an evolving set of ideas and concepts with its own logical progression and inner coherence. In this way, participants can retrace the path that Jung traveled and decide for themselves what was the product of genius and what was the product of madness.

This is a new, intensive Jungian seminar requiring thoughtful preparation for each meeting. It is a firm expectation that participants will have read the works and be ready to pose questions and discuss points of view. A reading list, accompanied by study guide questions, will be provided at the outset of the seminar. A certificate of completion will be awarded once all sessions have been attended.
