Presented by  Michelle Cooper, Ph. D., L. P. C.

Attendance: In-Person + Zoom

Continuing Education: 2 APA CE Credits Available

Individuation, defined by Carl Jung as "coming into selfhood, or self-realization" (CW 7, para. 266), lies at the heart of any Jungian analytic process and represents the essence of Jung's approach to psychological life. This seminar will examine E. E. Cummings' extraordinary biography through selected poems that reflect his individuation process from early childhood until his death and that mirror many of Jung's ideas about the psyche. The study of poetry can heighten our awareness of metaphor, underlying layers of meaning, and the articulation of affective states, which are intrinsic to analytic work.
Learning objectives:
  • Describe Jung's concept of individuation.
  • Identify the relationship between the individuation process and a poet's unique use of language.
  • Give an example of three Jungian concepts as evidenced in selected poems.
Dr. Michelle Cooper is a Jungian Psychoanalyst and Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in Music Therapy. She is currently a faculty member of the Memphis-Atlanta Jungian Seminar (MAJS). Also, she serves as co-editor for the Film and Culture and Clinical Commentaries sections for the Journal of Analytical Psychology. Her qualitative research study, entitled Clinical-Musical Responses of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapists: The Process of Clinical Improvisation, has been published by Barcelona Publishers, and her book reviews on the topics of Aesthetic Music Therapy and poetry have been published through Music Therapy Perspectives and the Journal of Analytical Psychology. She maintains a private practice in Memphis, TN.
