Module One – Structure of the Psyche and Psychological Types
We will introduce Jung in his historical context– his life, and his early exposition of Analytical Psychology. Jung’s conception of the structure of the psyche will be followed by sessions introducing his theory of Psychological Types, sometimes referred to as “the practical Jung.”
Module Two – The Unconscious and the Collective Unconscious
The idea of the psyche being divided into different layers is central to depth psychology and psychoanalysis. In this module we will explore the differences between the conscious and unconscious parts of the psyche.
Module Three – Symbolism
One way to try to understand the unconscious is through the use of symbols. This symbolic approach opens us to a wealth of interpretations, a kind of language of dreams, often revealing to us something previously unknown.
Module Four – Individuation – Personal Work
Individuation is a journey towards wholeness and living a meaningful personal myth according to an authentic inner vision: What does it mean to become “whole” and how do I mature into the best possible version of myself.
Module Five – Individuation – The Individual in Society
This module explores how the Jungian perspective can illuminate social phenomena like scapegoating, xenophobia, conspiracy theories, authoritarianism, consumerism.
Module Six – Trauma
Every human is subjected to various forms and degrees of trauma throughout their lives –emotional, physical, and sexual trauma; separation and loss – to name a few. Unacknowledged and unprocessed trauma profoundly changes our neurophysiology, brains, minds, and bodies.
