Anaclitic Depression and the Archetype of the Feminine

Saturday, December 3, 2022
10:00am – 3:00pm est

a daylong Zoom seminar led by
Janis M. Maxwell, PhD

Contact hours:  4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.

Major depression is the Number 1 psychological disorder in the western world.  It is growing in all age groups, in virtually every community, and the growth is seen mostly in the young, especially teens, and the elderly.  At the current rate of increase, it will be the most disabling condition in the world, not only in these age groups but in all ages.   Anaclitic depression is a term taken from developmental psychologists who describe what happens when a young child is emotionally separated from a mother or mother figure.

In this seminar, we will explore the possible meaning of this type of depression from a Jungian perspective.  What happens when an individual, a family, or society at large is deprived of a meaningful and emotional connection to the Feminine, specifically the archetypal Feminine as reflected in the Mother?   We will discuss the implications of being deprived of this archetypal field called “Mother” and explore ways to address it.

Learning Objectives:
The participants will be able to:

  1. Describe alternate views of depression and its source;
  2. Summarize the connection between the feminine aspect of the Self and depression;
  3. Explain the various ways of addressing depression;
  4. Describe the importance of emotional connection to a mother symbol.

C.G. Jung’s Transformation of the God Image

Saturday, January 28, 2023
10:00am – 3:00pm est

a daylong Zoom seminar led by
Jane Selinske, EdD, LCSW, LP

CONTACT HOURS:
4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.

“We are born at a given moment in a given place and like vintage years of wine we have the qualities of the year and the season in which we are born.”  —C.G. Jung

The inner loss from Jung’s break with Freud matched the outer loss he experienced by the events occurring in Europe.  It was a time when Jung thought that he was breaking down into a psychosis.  However, this time period opened Jung up to a whole new experience which has been described in The Red Book.  He found his soul from the Spirit of the Depths and not from the components of the Spirit of the Times which he could not sanction.

During Jung’s encounters in the depths, he experienced GOD coming down into mortality, which included the darkness of below as well as the light of above.  This turning point fueled Jung’s future life and work.  In The Red Book we see how Jung met the God that climbed into mortality which then transformed the God image.  The shift gave humanity a part in creating meaning with God who mediated “The Way.”  Jung discovered the significance of following your own way.  This new way consists of individually entering into the depths.  In the depths one brings forth the unconscious into consciousness through images and symbols which are manifestations of God.

In this workshop we will learn the origin and history of Jung’s experiences and will discuss the birth of Jung’s new God Image.  We will apply Jung’s new “Way” to compare our childhood images of God to our current image, creatively.  Client images of God present in dreams and reflection will also be shared.

Please bring drawing materials to the workshop.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
The participants will be able to:
1. Identify transformed images of God in clinical dream examples.
2. Describe the history of Jung’s experiences and findings and the impact on his theoretical and clinical work.
3. Discuss the importance of the feminine within the transformed God image.
4. Employ spontaneous drawing with clients and self to retrieve unconscious communication.

She is a teacher of Mandala Drawing Assessment and a Board Certified Music Therapist. She is a staff member at Rutgers University Doctoral Program in Social Work where she teaches a Jungian component, the Institute for Expressive Analysis and the C.G.

The Absent Father Effect on Daughters: Father Desire, Father Wounds

Saturday, November 12, 2022
10:00am – 3:00pm est

a daylong Zoom seminar led by
Susan Schwartz, PhD

Contact hours:  4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.

The absent father effect is a love story, but an unrequited one. Harm is done due to the presence of absence, affecting a daughter—and the father--in body, mind, and soul. The father is an essential aspect of the psyche and significant for the daughter’s psychological and physical life as it is expressed personally and culturally. This also includes males who have absent father issues as well.

Aspects of the psyche, according to Jungian psychology, affected by the absent father include the negative father complex, puella archetype and updating the concept of the animus. The identification with or denial of the absent father effect has serious ramifications for development. The presentation focuses on the bleaker side of daughters and fathers’ relationships, taking seriously the ramifications from the lack as well as discovering the repair and hope.

Learning Objectives:
The participants will be able to:
1. Describe how the daughter carries the shadow of the father
2. Explain why the father is so absent in psychological theory
3. Describe how therapists work with the father projection in the transference and countertransference
4. Describe how the father absence can become filled

Susan E. Schwartz, PhD, trained in Zurich, Switzerland, as a Jungian analyst is also a clinical psychologist and member of the International Association of Analytical Psychology. She presents to numerous Jungian conferences and teaching programs in the USA and worldwide. She has articles in several journals and chapters in books on Jungian analytical psychology. Her current book is translated into several languages and was published by Routledge in 2020. It is entitled The Absent Father Effect on Daughters, Father Desire, Father Wounds. Another book will be published by Routledge in 2023 entitled The Fragility of Self in the ‘As-If’ Personality: Imposter Syndrome and Illusions in the Mirror. Her Jungian analytical practice is in Paradise Valley, Arizona, USA, and her website is www.susanschwartzphd.com

FALL II: Redemption and the Dark Masculine: Resurrecting Authentic Masculinity as Part of the Individuation Process

Fall II: COURSE HELD IN-PERSON ONLY AT THE JUNG CENTER
28 East 39th Street, NYC
5 Wednesday, 7:15 – 8:45pm est
November 9, 16, 30, December 7, 14 (No class session Nov. 23)

 

Instructor: Christopher Cooper, MS, LP
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN IN-PERSON COURSE AT THE JUNG CENTER.

7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.

Masculinity is in crisis. As the waning of patriarchy has eroded social norms and gender stereotypes that privileged males, increasing numbers of men in our culture are now struggling with feelings of rejection, existential angst, and uncertainty. Since the beginning of the #metoo movement, much has been written about “toxic” masculinity, insidious misogyny, and the need for collective action to stem the tide of violent acts against women. Meanwhile, the epidemic of violence erupting from isolated and alienated young men continues to dominate headlines on a seemingly daily basis. New models of authentic masculinity are desperately called for, but few exist. Now, more than ever, masculine psychological development is in need of serious reimagining. This course will explore the archetypal underpinnings of masculine psychological development to enrich clinical understanding of the maladaptive male behaviors, attitudes, ideas, and outlooks that are increasingly presenting in consulting rooms across the country and around the world.

 


Learning Objectives
On completion of this class, you will be able to:

1. Challenge the social norms and gender stereotypes that have placed limits on the male gender experience.
2. Distinguish archetypal patterns that underpin masculine psychological development.
3. Comprehend the centrality and symbolic importance of aggression in the masculine Individuation process.
4. Differentiate between the qualities of “authentic” masculinity and hyper masculinity
5. Identify approaches to attend to the developmental, psychological, and spiritual needs of men in clinical settings.


LOCATION

With the exception of the course on Redemption and the Dark Masculine, these are online courses, given through the program Zoom.
Please download the Zoom program in advance of the first class session at Zoom.us

Fall II: C.G. Jung, Kabbalah and the Practice of Psychotherapy

5 Thursdays, 6:00- 7:30 pm, Eastern Time, USA,
Online Only via Zoom
November 10 – December 15 (excluding November 24)

Instructor: Sanford Drob, PhD

7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.

This seminar will provide an introduction to Kabbalah, its symbolism, its worldview, and its relevance to archetypal psychology and the practice of psychotherapy. Topics to be explored include: Jung’s 1944 “Kabbalistic Visions,” his late life pronouncement that “theHasidic Rabbi Baer from Mesiritz…anticipated[his] entire psychology,” and the application of Lurianic Kabbalistic principles, symbols and archetypes to the development of an archetypal and integrative approach to psychotherapy. In addition, the expulsion from Eden as interpreted by the Lurianic Kabbalists will be analyzed as an “individuation complex,” and Kabbalistic dream interpretation in the Zohar and its anticipation of Jungian dream analysis will be explored.


Learning Objectives: 

Describe how the system of kabbalistic symbols articulates the creative process, the path to individuation and ego-transcendence.

  1. Understand how each of the basic symbols/concepts of the Lurianic Kabbalah (e.g. Ein-sof—the Infinite, Tzimtzum—contraction and concealment, shevirah—rupture, and tikkun—restoration) articulate an important aspect of the psychotherapeutic process.  
  2. Explain how a Kabbalistic reading of the expulsion of Adam and Eve provides a mythical and conceptual basis for a complex that is of singular significance for human development and psychotherapy.  
  3. Describe the relevance of the Kabbalistic principle of coincidentia oppositorum to Jungian psychology and the psychotherapeutic process.  
  4. Describe how “archetypes of mind and value” based upon the kabbalist’s sefirot articulateb a range of psychotherapeutic principles.

LOCATION

With the exception of the course on Redemption and the Dark Masculine, these are online courses, given through the program Zoom.

Fall II: Understanding the Positive Dimensions of the Unconscious, through Dreams and Fantasies

5 consecutive Mondays, 7:00 – 8:30 pm
Eastern Time, USA, online only via Zoom. Beginning November 7

Instructor: David Rottman, MA

7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.

One of C.G. Jung’s most extraordinary contributions to our culture is his description of the constructive and positive dimensions of the unconscious. Formerly dreams were seen as consisting of repressed material unacceptable to consciousness, and fantasies were seen as mere wish-fulfillment. In his pioneering work, Jung introduced a new viewpoint about the role of the products of the unconscious as offering vitality, direction, and meaning to our conscious lives.
In this course, we will explore special topics illustrating those positive dimensions of the unconscious. These will include:
The role of dreams in hastening the burning off of family karma, as well as personal karma.
How the archetypes of Success and Failure manifest from the unconscious in both the inner world and the outer world.
The positive meaning (if understood) of dreams that disturb consciousness, such as dreams of death and dying, nightmares, unwelcome encounters, and apparent threats and dangers.
How dreams and fantasies come with a “call to action” to expand the scope of our consciousness, including the increased capacity for enjoyment of life.
The role of the unconscious in creating life patterns, including patterns of relationship.

Readings will consist of weekly handouts of quotations from Jung’s Collected Works and the work of his pupil, Marie-Louise Von Franz.

Supplementary Reading:

Dreams: A Portal to the Source, Edward C. Whitmont
The Way of the Image, Yoram Kaufmann
The Way of the Dream, Marie-Louise Von Franz


Learning Objectives
On completion of this class, you will be able to:

1. Discuss the interpretation of a dream and a fantasy from a teleological perspective.
2. Identify the role of the unconscious in both troubled and healthy emotional life.
3. Describe the action of the unconscious in developing repetitive life patterns in relationships and in the career.
4. Summarize Jung’s view of the importance of the unconscious as a homeostatic dimension of the total psyche, and in the process of individuation.

Fall I: A Visionary’s Imagination: C.G. Jung: Art, Active Imagination and the Creative Process

5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:00 – 7:30 pm Eastern Time, USA,
online only via Zoom Beginning October 12

Instructor: Maria Taveras, LCSW

7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.

This course will contrast the Freudian aesthetic based on free association with a Jungian aesthetic based on active imagination.

Active imagination is perhaps the most radical innovation of Jungian psychology. In contrast to free association, which is a passive process, active imagination is a process in which the ego actively evokes images from the unconscious and actively engages those images. Whereas free association is an interior monologue (a dictation from the unconscious to the ego), active imagination is an interior dialogue (a conversation between the ego and the unconscious).

The most famous example of the Freudian aesthetic is surrealism. “Surrealism,” Andre Breton says, “is based on the belief in the superior reality of repressed associations.” It was possible for the surrealists to articulate a Freudian aesthetic because Freud’s writings on free association were available in the first quarter of the twentieth century. In contrast, Jung’s writings on active imagination were unavailable at that time.

Jung was influenced by visual art works as a young man and by his encounter and relationship to Modern Art. “At one time I took a great interest in art. I painted myself, sculpted and did wood carving. I have a certain sense of color. When modern art came on the scene, it presented a great psychological problem for me. I wrote about Picasso and Joyce. I recognized there something which is very unpopular, namely the very thing which confronts me in my patients.”

The creative dialogue between the ego and the unconscious and archetypal is an important factor in the creative process since the affect laden ego mixes with the archetypal unconscious to create the artistic product. By creating art out of their own active imagination, dreams, visions, images, dance, or writings, participants will directly embody the relation between art and psyche and then have an opportunity to share with other participants their uniquely personal experience of the creative process.


Learning Objectives
On completion of this class, you will be able to:

1. Discuss the practical, clinical value of the theoretical difference between Freud’s technique of free association and Jung’s method of active imagination.
2. Explain clinically how to apply Jung’s method of internal dialogue between the ego and images that emerge spontaneously, autonomously, and purposively from the unconscious to enable clients to experience their psyche
3. Develop a general knowledge of Jung’s relationship with his imagination.
4. Describe the difference between being an “Artist” and the Artist within.
5. Learn how to employ Jung’s method of Active Imagination in order to induce in clients an altered state of consciousness so that they can access the archetype of creativity within the unconscious.


LOCATION

With the exception of the course on Redemption and the Dark Masculine, these are online courses, given through the program Zoom.
Please download the Zoom program in advance of the first class session at Zoom.us

The Redemption and the Dark Masculine course is a course
which is given in-person only at the Jung Center, 28 East 39th Street, NYC

Reading Jung on Psychology and Religion

Seminar 1: Fall 2022

12 Mondays: 6:00 – 7:30 pm EST
September 19 – December 12 (excluding September 26) 


Instructor: 
Royce Froehlich, PhD, MDiv, LCSW 

“The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous.”—C.G. Jung

“It doesn’t take long for the experience of the numinous to unhinge the mind.”—Umberto Eco

According to C.G. Jung, “Religion is a careful and scrupulous observation of the numinosum, a dynamic agency or effect not caused by an arbitrary act of will.” This seminar will engage Jung’s method of psychoanalytic treatment, which attends to the numinous and a religious nature that can be cultivated through spiritual practices or spontaneously arise in response to one’s life experiences.

From a deep well of Judeo-Christian scholarship and a point of view that finds an innate attitude of religiosity in the human psyche (homo religiosus), Jung was a master of seeing common ground among the major religions of the world. He was able to craft a psychologically oriented language suitable for contemporary readers to learn from and wrestle with in relation to their own imago dei, their personal God-image.

On the collective level, social concerns that affect the religious spirit of the time are underscored by Jung as he points his readers toward “the way of what is to come” after we learn from Nietzsche that “God is dead.” This course will draw from the long trajectory of Jung’s writings on the clinical function of the religious nature of the human psyche, East and West, in the Collected Works, his recently published lectures on yoga and meditation, as well as the work of individuals who influenced Jung’s thought—and some who help us better understand his thinking.

Learning Objectives


By attending this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe how the social milieu of Jung’s early life informed what became his theoretical understanding of the development of the personality;
  2. Assess Jung’s contribution to the understanding of the human psyche and its value for clinical treatment;
  3. Discuss the transpersonal dimension of religious practices;
  4. Describe Eastern and Western religious symbol-systems and integrate some key concepts in Jung’s work within a context of cross-cultural understanding;
  5. Cite the relevance of religious practice, as understood by C.G. Jung, in everyday life;
  6. Apply theoretical principles of Analytical Psychology for reflection upon their own imago dei.

Individual Class Objectives 

Class 1
To introduce the predominant theme of the course: the clinical value of addressing the religious nature of the human psyche.

Class 2 
To introduce the “meditation complex” (Odajnyk); it’s use and misuse.

Class 3 
To learn psychotherapeutic techniques from an ancient Taoist text.

Class 4 
To establish a framework for understanding the unitary nature of polarity (yin-yang).

Class 5 
To see the archetypal nature of the trinitarian Godhead and it’s psychological function.

Class 6 
To find the symbolic richness behind the celebration of the eucharist.

Class 7 
To introduce Gnosis and its importance to Jung’s understanding of human nature.

Class 8 
To introduce Jung’s wrestling with ‘God is dead’ theology as it stems from Nietzsche.

Class 9 
To raise a discussion around the subject of ‘Jung and anti-Semitism’.

Class 10 
To  further develop a Jungian understanding of the values of yoga and meditation.

Class 11 
To find parallels between Buddhist and Jungian notions of psychological liberation.

Class 12 
To weave a meaningful thread through Tibetan Buddhism, Jung, and the Beatles.
