Winter-Spring 2006 Calendar
Experiencing JungAn Introductory Course in Jungian Studies
7 Thursdays 7:30-9:30pm Jan. 12, 19, 26 Feb. 2, 16, 23, Mar. 2 Series: $130 Pre-registered/ $135 At door Individual Classes: $20 Pre-registered/ $25 At door 14 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels January 12 Historical Overview of Analytical Psychology Claire Douglas, Ph.D. This lecture will focus on the heritage of analytical psychology, including Jung’s background and training, and his debt to romantic philosophy and religious thought. Claire Douglas, Ph.D., has written about the development of Jung’s theory in Current Psychotherapies and The Cambridge Companion to Jung. She is the author of The Woman in the Mirror: Analytical Psychology and the Feminine and, most recently, The Old Woman’s Daughter. January 19 The Personal Unconscious: The Shadow Paul Gabrinetti, Ph.D. The shadow is a foundational part of Jung’s view of personality and the most fundamental part of Jungian analytical work. The shadow carries the positive, negative, and potential aspects of the human personality in their unredeemed form. This presentation will look at the shadow’s manifestations within the individual and in our human interactions. Paul A Gabrinetti, Ph.D., is a Jungian Analyst, a teacher in the analyst training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and a former teacher at U.S.C. He is in private practice in Woodland Hills. January 26 The Collective Unconscious: Archetypes & Complexes Michele Daniel, Ph.D. Jung tells us to distinguish between the personal unconscious and an impersonal unconscious, which he called the “collective unconscious.” In this talk we will consider the contents of the collective unconscious, which Jung named “archetypes” along with his notion of “complexes,” which are autonomous psychic factors coupling the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious together in such a way that they can form “part-personalities” with the power to override our conscious intentions. Michele Daniel, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst who teaches in the analyst training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and is on the faculty of the University of Philosophical Research. She is a long-term Buddhist practitioner and recently completed her M.A. in Buddhist Studies at University of Sunderland, U.K. February 2 The Religious Nature of the Psyche: Experiencing the Transcendent in a Secular World Steven Galipeau, M.A., M.Div. The religious nature of the psyche has permeated human existence since recorded history. We will examine this crucial aspect of the human psyche beginning with the biblical story of the burning bush — an example of an early representation of religious symbolism still relevant to the modern soul. We will also view a few film images that demonstrate the mythic aspect of the psyche and explore other modern arenas where we seek, often unconsciously, to experience the transcendent. Steven Galipeau, M.A., M.Div., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Studio City and executive director of Coldwater Counseling Center. He is the author of Transforming Body and Soul: Therapeutic Wisdom in the Gospel Healing Stories and The Journey of Luke Skywalker: An Analysis of Modern Myth and Symbol. February 23 (note new date) Alchemy Joe McNair, Ph.D. In studying alchemy and alchemical images, Jung discovered further validation of his psychological theories regarding the universal nature of symbols and that the alchemical process reflected an internal, transformative process of “wholeness” in the psyche. This presentation will explore a mercurial excursion through the volatile and saturnine elements of alchemy. Joe McNair, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst with interests in alchemy and psychological types. He is in private practice in Woodland Hills.
February 16 Dreams Barry Miller, Ph.D. Jung viewed dreams as an incredible source of images and perspectives that compensate the one-sided attitudes of our conscious life. The dream has the capacity to reveal, renew and destabilize one’s ego position. This session will introduce some basic points of orientation in approaching dreams to begin the process of relating to its potential meaning. Barry Miller, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in West Hollywood and teaches in the analyst training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. March 2 Anima and Animus Cydny Rothe, L.C.S.W. Differentiating and making relationship to the contrasexual element of one’s own psyche — the animus in women and the anima in man — is essential in establishing a dialogue of mutuality with the unconscious. The development of a woman’s mind, initiative, courage, objectivity and spiritual wisdom and a man’s strength in standing up to his emotions in a related, respectful way as well as his ability to stay fully engaged in life are the fruits of anima and animus psychological work. Cydny Rothe, L.C.S.W., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Pasadena. Her interests include culture, ethnicity, film and politics as they relate to analytical psychology.
January 13 7:30-9:30pm The Temenos Revisited: The Sacred Circle in Human Development, Erotic Attraction & Analysis Barry Miller, Ph.D. $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels Jung describes the Temenos as “the cave where the dragon of chaos lives, and also the indestructible city, the magic circle, the sacred precinct where all the split-off parts of the personality are united.” The paradoxical nature of this symbol will be explored, differentiating the potential for growth within the circle from what becomes encapsulated and kept from life. Tension inevitably enters the perfected circle, as the dynamics evolve toward the square. The relationship between these two shapes will be a basis for viewing the development of consciousness in the context of early developmental psychological tasks, sexuality and essential processes in the analytic relationship. Barry Miller, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in West Hollywood and teaches in the analyst training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles.
January 27 7:30-9:30pm The Divine Girl: The Image of the Feminine in Traditional Italian Folksongs Regine Schweizer-Vuellers $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels In the central regions of the Alps, fairytales were part of the collective life for centuries. In the southern parts, the Ticino people loved to sing, and their songs were deeply rooted in the human soul. This lecture will show the archetypal background of some of these old songs, not only through the interpretation of the images but also through looking at the symbolic meaning of the music itself. The lecture will begin with an introduction to the traditional life of people in the southern mountain valleys of the Alps then continue with reflections on the psychological method of interpretation of their songs. Regine Schweizer-Vuellers is a Jungian Analyst in private practice in Zurich, and member of the board of “Research and Training Centre in Depth Psychology according to C.G. Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz.” She has published numerous articles on fairy tales.
February 3 7:30-9:30pm Divination, Destiny & Soul-Making Laura S. Grillo, Ph.D., M.Div. $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels This presentation will focus on the correlation between the dynamics of West African divination and James Hillman’s ideas on fate, destiny and soul-making. Hillman argues the re-visioning necessary for Western psychology is a perspective provided by turning not to the East but to the South, to the Greco-Roman world of the Mediterranean, for the imaginative recovery of polytheism; the contemporary indigenous cultures of West Africa offer more fertile ground for the imaginative exploration of selfhood in these terms. Divination, at the core of these traditions, provides a concrete means for re-vising experience and negotiating destiny. Rather than offering explicit explanation, divination proceeds on a paradoxical course; its responses come in the form of an image, a conjunction of symbols physically cast into a new combination. Laura S. Grillo, Ph.D., M.Div., teaches in the mythological studies program at Pacifica Graduate Institute. She specializes in contemporary West African traditions and has lived and worked in the Ivory Coast and Kenya.
February 10 7:30-9:30pm Rapunzel in Her Tower with the Witch: Dissociation and Self-Encapsulation in Early Trauma Donald Kalsched, Ph.D. $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels Experiences in early childhood that cause unbearable psychic pain or anxiety (trauma) can leave the personality and the human spirit threatened with destruction. To avoid such destruction, a defensive splitting of the self occurs in which a “progressed” part of the self casts a spell over a “regressed” part and locks it up in an inner sanctum for safekeeping. This presentation will explore both dreams and the fairy tale Rapunzel to illustrate how primitive defenses emerge to save the imperishable personal spirit from further trauma — but at the price of cutting it off from life. The presenter will also discuss essential aspects of the psychotherapy related to this “trauma complex.” Donald Kalsched, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Katonah, N.Y. He is a graduate of the C. G. Jung Institute of New York and is a faculty member and supervisor with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. His book, The Inner World of Trauma: Archetypal Defenses of the Personal Spirit, is in its fourth printing.
February 17 7:30-9:30pm New Possibilities for the Archetypal Image: What is ARAS (Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism) and why should I know about it? Nancy Furlotti, M.A. $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels Images represent the language of the psyche. Through the process of amplification of symbolic images that emerge in our dreams or creative material we are able to understand and chart the archetypal movement in our individual psyches as well as in the collective. ARAS (Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism) is now available to the public online and consists of 17,000 images reflecting archetypal patterns from all over the world and from all human epochs. The images are supported by scholarly commentary of a historical, cultural and psychological nature. This lecture will introduce the archive by explaining its history and discussing its relevance for artists, writers, historians, psychotherapists or anyone else interested in the psyche. Nancy Furlotti, M.A., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in West Los Angeles and teaches in the analyst training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. She is on the national board of the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) and interested in exploration of the psyche via myth and symbol.
February 24 7:30-9:30pm Urgent Message from Mother: Gather the Women, Save the World $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., is a Jungian analyst, psychiatrist and clinical professor at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco, and is the author of numerous books including the recently released, Urgent Message From Mother: Gather the Women, Save the World.

A Series for Clinicians: Clinical Dialogues
This 4-week course (intended for clinicians only) will feature Jungian analysts in conversation with analysts from other psychoanalytic institutes on topics of mutual interest. 4 Wednesdays 7:30-9:30pm March 8, 15, 22, 29 Series: $70 Pre-registered/ $75 At door Individual Classes: $20 Pre-registered/ $25 At door 8 Hours CE, CME, CN available Clinicians Only March 8 Davanloo’s Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) & Jungian Psychology Thomas M. Brod, M.D. and Steven J. Frank, Ph.D. The theoretical background of ISTDP will be presented and compared to areas of Jungian psychology such as complex theory and Donald Kalshed’s “self-care system.” The ISTDP model, according to Davanloo, attempts to release “hidden feelings by actively working on and interpreting resistance and defenses, paying strict attention to the transference relationship, and actively making links between the transference and significant people in the patient’s current life and in the past.” The theory follows the basic psychodynamic idea that neurotic suffering stems from repressed feelings and reactions to the rupture in a significant attachment relationship. A video of a case using the ISTDP technique will be shown and the ways this method can add to a Jungian approach to analysis will be discussed. Thomas M. Brod, M.D., DFAPA, is a faculty member of the New Center for Psychoanalysis and Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at U.C.L.A. He is in private practice in West Los Angeles. Steven J. Frank, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and Jungian analyst in private practice in West Los Angeles. He is the director of the Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and former director of the institute’s Hilde Kirsch Children’s Center. March 15 Jung, Tustin and Autistic Maneuvers in the Analysis of Adults Judith Mitrani, Ph.D. & JoAnn Culbert-Kuehn, L.C.S.W. Frances Tustin's pioneering work with autistic children has important implications for work with adult patients who have hidden autistic barriers. These autistic barriers can lead to blocks in analysis if left unattended. This presentation will describe some of the ways in which Jung’s theory of opposites can be applied to Tustin’s work on the opposites of “hard and soft,” leading to important clinical discoveries. Judith Mitrani, Ph.D., is a training and supervising psychoanalyst at the Psychoanalytic Center of California, the Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies and the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California. She is the author of several books including Ordinary People & Extraordinary Protections. JoAnn Culbert-Koehn, L.C.S.W., is a Jungian analyst in private practice with adults and children in Beverly Hills. She is a past president of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles, on the faculty of the Pacifica Graduate Institute and is a deputy editor of The Journal of Analytical Psychology. March 22 How to Represent the Unrepresentable? Avedis Panajian, Ph.D., Barry Miller, Ph.D. & Wendy Wyman-McGinty, Ph.D. How do we open up to our inner experiences? How do we put an inner experience into words? How do we come to know the shape or form of our experiences? How do we keep an inner experience alive as an experience? How do we access a patient’s experiences that are not representable? Dr. Panajian will illustrate the relationship between trauma, negativity, void, and the emergence of representability. He will demonstrate through clinical presentation how in the absence of thinkable material the analyst goes about to make contact with unthinkable events. Avedis Panajian, Ph.D., is a training and supervising analyst at PCC, ICP and NPI. He is a Diplomate in Clinical Psychology, ABPP and has received several awards for his teaching including the Distinguished Educator Award from California Psychological Association. He is in private practice in Beverly Hills, CA. Barry Miller, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in West Hollywood and teaches in the analyst training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. Wendy Wyman-McGinty, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist, registered dance therapist, and Jungian analyst in private practice in West LA. She has lectured internationally and has published several articles on the body in analysis. March 29 The Narration of Desire: Maternal Erotic Transferences (MET) & Countertransferences (MEC) Harriet Kimble Wyre, Ph.D. & Pamela Power, Ph.D. The earliest sensual contacts between mother and infant may manifest in the analytic relationship as concrete transferences to the real parts of the body of the therapist, which are typically inhibited as preverbal and/or defended against, out of shame and fear of humiliation. The analyst’s ability to contain both the loving and sadomasochistic aspects of this projection can foster a sense of wholeness and connection to living vs. a sense of deadness and lack of creativity. Drawing from case material, we will examine some of the ways in which exploration of MET and MEC can lead to an integration of aggressive and sensual aspects of the psyche, as manifested in the transition from a dyadic to a triadic Oedipal phase of analysis. Harriet Kimble Wyre, Ph.D., is a training and supervising psychoanalyst at the Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies (LAISPS). Author of The Narration of Desire and numerous articles on the subject, Dr. Wyre is in private practice in Pacific Palisades. Pamela J. Power, Ph.D., is clinical psychologist and Jungian analyst in private practice in Santa Monica. She is a co-director of the analyst training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles.
March 17 7:30-9:30pm The Hero Archetype in Popular Culture Steven Galipeau, M.A., M.Div. $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels Certain heroic figures that came to life early in the 20th century are still very much alive in our collective psyche today. The most recent versions examine closely the origins of these heroes. For example, Isabel Allende’s latest book tells the story of the formative years of Diego de la Vega/Zorro. The most current Batman movie, Batman Begins, explores this hero’s origins, and a heroic figure’s story that has recently been brought to film, Spider-man, examines his early development and heroic call. We will explore the symbolism of each of these figures, the psychological meaning of how they became they alter egos, and how they reflect the movement of the hero archetype in the American psyche. Steven Galipeau, M.A., M.Div., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Studio City and executive director of Coldwater Counseling Center. He is the author of Transforming Body and Soul: Therapeutic Wisdom in the Gospel Healing Stories and The Journey of Luke Skywalker: An Analysis of Modern Myth and Symbol.
March 24 7:30-9:30pm Lecture: Symbol Formation and Sandplay: An Urgent Response to 9/11 Rosalind Winter, M.Ed., L.C.S.W. $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels In the aftermath of 9/11, a Jungian analyst and sandplay therapist found herself caring for 60-80 high school students who did not know if their parents who worked at the World Trade Center were dead or alive. This presentation will describe how the technique of sandplay, long used for individual work, was developed for collectives and institutional settings in response to large-scale trauma. Now a grass roots movement, this work continues in Manhattan Ground Zero schools, and has been utilized in response to Hurricane Katrina and the tsunami in Sri Lanka. March 25 10:00am-2:00pm (Lunch 12-1pm) Workshop: Symbol Formation: Sandplay Techniques in Healing Collective Trauma Rosalind Winter, M.Ed., L.C.S.W. $30 Pre-registered/$35 At door 3 Hours CE, CME, CN available Attendees of the Symbol Formation training are requested to email the presenter, Rosalind Winter, at riwinter@aol.com with a short description of the setting in which they would like to use symbol formation. Rosalind Winter, M.Ed., L.C.S.W., is a Jungian analyst and former president of the New York Association for Analytic Psychology, and a faculty member of the Jung Institute of New York.

Development in Early Childhood: A Jungian Perspective Steven J. Frank, Ph.D. Steven J. Frank, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and Jungian analyst in private practice in West Los Angeles. He is the director of the Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and former director of the institute’s Hilde Kirsch Children’s Center. April 26 The Latency Age Child: Jungian Perspectives Gloria Avrech, Ph.D., L.C.S.W. Latency, a psychoanalytic term referring to the period of time between the ages of five and eleven, is generally thought to be a time of ego consolidation and mastery. Utilizing theoretical and case material, this presentation will explore ways in which a Jungian approach can be of value in understanding and helping children at this critical time of life. We will also focus on the importance of developing a relationship to one’s inner child, as an archetypal image that carries our woundedness, as well as our possibilities for growth, transformation and healing throughout the life span. Gloria Avrech, Ph.D., L.C.S.W., is a Jungian analyst practicing in Pasadena. She is the director of the Hilde Kirsch Children’s Center at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles.
May 3 The Adolescent Brain: A Work in Progress Margaret Wilkinson, Dip.Ed. The adolescent brain has been described as “a work in progress.” The presentation will cover the special changes that take place in adolescence both in the brain and in the mind, and will examine these in relation to each other. The issue of substance abuse — particularly the use of the drug ecstasy — will be explored. There will be clinical illustration from three young people at different stages of adolescence and discussion of the adolescent in the adult patient. Margaret Wilkinson, Dip.Ed., is a member of the Society of Analytical Psychology and the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy in England. She is an editor of the Journal of Analytical Psychology and author of the forthcoming Coming into Mind: The Mind-Brain Relationship, A Jungian Clinical Perspective. She is in private practice in England. May 10 Adolesence & the Archetype of Initiation Donald Sloggy L.C.S.W. Inherent in the season of adolescence is the archetype of initiation. This experience ushers in a transformation equaled only by our birth and death in the life cycle. This talk will explore how the archetype of initiation manifests spontaneously through the individual, in a culture that has lost authentic ritual for such passage. Donald Sloggy, L.C.S.W., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Santa Monica. He lectures on Native American life and myth and its relevance to contemporary culture. May 17 Ariadne & Medea: Woman’s Experience of Abandonment in Mid-Life Brockton D. Hill, J.D., M.A. This talk will explore a woman’s experience of abandonment in midlife as a result of divorce, death, children reaching adulthood, the onset of disease or aging, through the myths of Ariadne and Medea and augmented with case material. A link will be explored between experiences of abandonment at this age, unacknowledged experiences of abandonment at earlier points in a woman’s life, and how such experiences exacerbate the depth of emotions experienced now. A connected image would be that of the alchemical widow as the abandoned feminine who embodies the state of the prima materia that is the initial state of individuation. The feelings experienced in sadness, suffering, loss, shame, unworthiness, destitution, rage and envy will be explored in terms of their relationship to what has been historically labeled as evil. Brockton D. Hill, J.D., M.A., is a candidate in the analyst training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. He is in private practice as a psychotherapist in Pasadena and West Los Angeles and has maintained a parallel interest in both the work of Jung and the Tarot. May 24
The Odyssey as a Guide in Second Half of Life Paul A Gabrinetti, Ph.D. The Odyssey is considered one of the foundational texts of the Western world, its very name synonymous with an arduous journey. The second half of life is often a time of great change and upheaval and bears a striking resemblance to the struggles encountered by Odysseus coming home from the Trojan Wars. Using stories from The Odyssey, this presentation will explore the importance of finding one’s way back to “wholeness” in the second half of life. Paul A Gabrinetti, Ph.D., is a Jungian Analyst, a teacher in the analyst training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and a former teacher at U.S.C. He is in private practice in Woodland Hills. May 31 Puer & Senex Steven Galipeau, M.A., M.Div. Beginning with Marie-Louse von Franz’s The Problem of the Puer Aeternus, Jungian psychology has examined the archetypal side of developmental issues as leading to various psychic splits. James Hillman has elucidated the problem of the puer, the eternal boy, as related to a split from its opposite, the senex, or old man. We will explore this archetypal paradigm as it relates to wounding at different stages of the developmental process, and the task of healing split polarities such as puer and senex. Steven Galipeau, M.A., M.Div., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Studio City and executive director of Coldwater Counseling Center. He is the author of Transforming Body and Soul: Therapeutic Wisdom in the Gospel Healing Stories and The Journey of Luke Skywalker: An Analysis of Modern Myth and Symbol.

Visions of Cultural Diversity in Jungian Treatment with Families & Children Presenters TBA April 29 10:00am-3:00pm (Lunch 12-1pm) Participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. $75 Pre-registered/ $80 At door 4 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels How does a patient’s cultural heritage affect clinical work throughout the life span? Analytical psychology, which historically has recognized the totality and diversity of the psyche, has a unique contribution to make in answering this question. There is a hugely diverse, multi-ethnic population in the Los Angeles area, with people from at least 140 countries, speaking approximately 86 different languages. While we are providing psychological understanding and clinical services for children and families who come from many different cultures, very little has been written in this field from a Jungian perspective. This fundraising workshop is an attempt to meet that need.
May 13 10:00am-2:00pm The Old Woman’s Daughter Claire Douglas, Ph.D. $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels This workshop will explore what we inherit from a Mother Line of attunement, connection and fierce cherishment, and how this inheritance brings new and transformative energy into the fields of personal relations and Jungian psychology. The workshop presenter will draw from her recently published book, The Old Woman’s Daughter: Re-Imaging the Mother Archetype, and examine the old woman and her daughter through myth, story, personal experience, and dreams. We will also re-imagine these spiritual and archetypal sources. Claire Douglas, Ph.D., has written about the development of Jung’s theory in Current Psychotherapies and The Cambridge Companion to Jung. She is the author of The Woman in the Mirror: Analytical Psychology and the Feminine and, most recently, The Old Woman’s Daughter.

DREAM: A Journal Larry Vigon $20 Pre-registered/$25 At door 2 Hours CE, CME, CN available All Levels Images in relation to the written word give us clues about the mysteries of the unconscious. With the advent of ARAS (Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism) and the forthcoming publication of Jung’s Red Book, it becomes important to find a way to access, express and understand visual representation as a key to archetypal information in the psyche. The presenter will share his personal background as a well-known graphic designer and his journey toward the publication of his book. Jungian analyst J. Marvin Spiegelman will introduce the talk, and the presenter will follow with a PowerPoint presentation of his work with additional journal entries and illustrations. A discussion and book signing will follow the lecture. There will be a 10% discount on the purchase of the book given to those who attend the talk. Larry Vigon is a graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and has served as a member of the school’s faculty. He has designed record albums for Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Counting Crows, Carole King, Frank Sinatra, and Bonnie Raitt and has received numerous graphic arts and advertising awards.
The Analytical Psychology Club presents: Psychological Types 6 Fridays March 31, April 7, 21, 28 May 5, 12 7:30-9:30pm Complete Series $80 Regular/ $65 Students and Seniors Individual Classes Pre-registered: $15 Regular, $12 Students and Seniors/ At-Door: $20 regular, $15 student/seniors March 31 Typology and the Personality Steven Galipeau, M.A., M. Div. Following his break with Freud and a period of intense introspection, Jung’s creative work resumed with his writings on psychological types. Jung sought to understand how people could view and approach life differently and offered a standpoint by which we could understand such differences. We will explore Jung’s theory of typology in terms of how it helps us understand our personal uniqueness and those who are different from us, as well as areas in which we do and do not excel. We will look at the Myers-Briggs type indicator as an example of the practical application of Jung’s theory and the work of sports consultant Jonathan P. Niednagel as another. April 7 The Alchemy of Typology Joe McNair, Ph.D. After a long period of introversion in his late 30s, Jung emerged with a paradigm of the meaningful and dynamic interplay of four essential temperaments. This became the Yantra through which the arcane realm of Alchemy became accessible to him. He would spend the rest of his life on this material. Understanding the dynamic relationship amongst the four functions was crucial. With the help of the alchemical tale of Parzifal, we will see why both Jung and von Franz insisted that one must always analyze to the Fourth Function and how it is that the Third Function is the bridge to that work. April 21 Psychological Types And Meditation Michele Daniel, Ph.D. As we grow and mature, we generally develop a preferred attitude and function to the degree that these become operationally “superior” to the opposite attitude and other functions. Different meditation strategies cultivate the development of different aspects of one’s typology and can bring about an evolution of the attitude and functions that have gone unattended and are therefore less mature or “inferior.” This lecture will consider how some particular meditation practices cultivate development in the less developed or “inferior” typological aspects of ones personality, facilitating individuation. April 28 How Can The Self Guide Us When The Self Is Everything That We Are? Our Experiences Of Ethics, Morals & Psychological Types J. Gordon Nelson, Ph.D. In Psychological Types, Jung completes the task that he begins in Symbols of Transformation. Both volumes are necessary for understanding the key elements of the process of individuation, and its ethical consequences for our life. Jung develops this unity by implicitly acknowledging that we each have a moral and ethical obligation to be our whole self, not just the part of our self that we approve of or idealize. This lecture will discuss the way symbols form out of raw psychic experience and the integration of this energy’s guiding and demanding effect on our lives, using the mythic images Jung develops in his volume on Psychological Types. May 5 Literature And Film As A Reflection Of Psychological Typology Arlene TePaske Landau, Ph.D. The presenter will explore psychological types as depicted in literature and film. In Tennessee Williams’ A Street Car Named Desire, for example, Stanley Kowalski is an extraverted type who is at home with his cravings and freely indulges his physical needs. We first meet Stanley carrying a package of bloody meat, like a hunter coming home from killing his prey. Introverted, veiled, fanciful and dreamy Blanche Dubois enters and tries obliquely to make polite conversation with Stanley. Their mismatched dialogue mirrors their gaping psychological differences and leads to rage and rape and Blanche’s psychological dissolution. May 12 Typology As A Framework For Relationship Nancy Furlotti, M.A. The significance of typology comes from not only understanding one’s own type, but its importance extends into functioning as a framework for understanding the workings of the unconscious. It is through this framework that we are able to recognize, differentiate and work with the different aspects of ourselves, moving through integration towards wholeness. This process is, of course, reflected in our relationships in the outer world and it is through them that we do a good portion of our individuation work. This seminar will explore how typology affects our relationship with all the aspects of ourselves and with all the others in our lives. Please note: The APC has changed the fee for individual lectures. Registrations must be pre-paid to qualify for the current cost. All at door payments will pay the new fee.
