Instructor: Peter Mudd, LCSW

CEUs: 20

Analytical psychology is a complex and challenging field of study. It has been commended and criticized for its acknowledgement and valuing of spiritual life, its wide-ranging investigations into esoterica and the confessional foundations of its conceptualizations. Still, it remains a profound psychological theory and practice offering a paradigm and tools that inform serious efforts to discover “personal destiny” and meaning.

This intensive 10 session, monthly seminar will offer participants a clear and coherent understanding of the origins, framework and operational concepts of Jungian and post-Jungian thought. Areas to be examined are noted below.* To preserve continuity, single session attendance will not be possible. Enrollment will be capped at 12.

This is a second, intensive Jungian seminar requiring thoughtful preparation for each meeting. Substantial reading* provides the entry point into discussion and it is expected that participants will have read the assigned works and be ready to pose questions and discuss points of view. A reading list and study guide questions are provided at the outset of the seminar. A certificate of completion will be awarded after attending all sessions.
