Imposter Syndrome and the “As-If” Personality in Analytical Psychology

5 consecutive Tuesdays, 6:00 – 7:30 pm
Beginning July 7
Instructor: Irina Doctoroff, LMFT, LP

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

The Caretaker Complex is one of identity which is formed early in childhood when a parent sees her child as an object she owns for her own needs and forces the child to fit into the mold of her expectations.  Primarily the mother expects the child to take care of her.  As adults, such children continues to serve, take care of, and accommodate other people, often at their own expense.  We often meet caretaker-identified people in healing and teaching professions.  What brings them to therapy is their inability to have full access to their creativity, and to experience true happiness and pleasure.

In this course, we will explore the formation, development, and treatment of the “caretaker personality.”  The nature of caretakers’ original wound suggests that a crucial task for them is to allow themselves to be taken care of and be able to own and express their needs and wants.  We will also discuss the caretaker personality from a historical and cultural perspective and relate it to the state of the Feminine in our patriarchal society.


Learning Objectives:

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

  1. Define the Caretaker complex in terms of its nature and structure.
  2. Discuss mechanisms through which the Caretaker complex is formed from a Jungian and psychoanalytic perspective.
  3. Engage in several practices for the transformation of the negative aspects of the Caretaker complex through creative drawing and active imagination.
  4. Demonstrate how the formation of the Caretaker complex is connected to broader social and cultural structures and how it challenges traditional ideas of masculinity and femininity.
  5. Utilize myths and fairy tales to further analyze the Caretaker complex.
  6. Apply theoretical knowledge to clinical cases.

Emphasis will be placed on direct experience of Gebser’s structures of consciousness as the foundation for the emergence Gebser’s formulation of integral consciousness. The course will introduce Gebser’s contributions and genius and consider how Gebser synchronizes, diverts, and at times takes different paths than Jung in exploring consciousness and transformation.  To better comprehend the possibilities of Gebserian thought, weekly exercises will allow direct experience of the images and presence of Gebser’s structures of consciousness and understanding of time.

Fairy Tales as Cultural Discourse

Fall II
Fairy Tales as Cultural Discourse

5 Thursdays, 7:00 – 8:30 pm, Eastern Time, USA via Zoom 

November 9 – December 14 (excluding November 23)
Instructor: Mary Apikos

This course is not offered for NYS CE contact hours.

Over the course of five weeks students will be given an in-depth overview of some of the most essential genres in the oral to written story telling tradition.  By understanding the historical and cultural context that a story is told in, we will see how stories evolve to interact with other forces that impact our lives. Whether you are a musician, visual artist, writer or a person who wants to experience art in a more informed way, you will learn how your story is connected to multi-cultural folklore and literary fairytales.

Using a Jungian arts-based research approach, we will start with origin stories and Mother Goose; followed by dilemma stories that have enigmatic endings; cautionary tales and The Brother’s Grimm; the doppleganger motif and Jung’s concept of anima/animus; then finally we conclude with a session on instructive stories that explore mending, hope, and joy.  This is a multi-disciplinary course using music, film clips, art historical and literary references. Readings of both folklore and fairytales as well as scholarly texts are provided for our discussions, but not required, as all resources will be discussed during my presentation.

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

  1. Develop an understanding of Folklore & Fairy Tale typology and their multi-cultural variations using Stith-Thompson Motif Index
  2. Interpret symbols found in specific Folklore & Fairy Tales using resources provided on bibliography.
  3. Develop an understanding of key concepts used in Jungian Arts-Based Research
  4. Apply course materials to the making of personal creative works.
  5. Increase understanding of the historical context from which stories emerge and change.

Class sessions:

  1. Origin Stories, Personal Story Maps, Mother Goose
  2. Dilemma Stories, Enigmatic Endings
  3. Cautionary Tales, Nationalism & The Brother’s Grimm
  4. Doppelganger Stories, Jungian Shadow
  5. Ambiguous Loss, Reclamation of Joy

Jungian Readings: Big Ideas from Small Books

Fall II
Jungian Readings: Big Ideas from Small Books
5 consecutive Mondays, 7:00 – 8:30 pm Eastern Time, USA,
online only via Zoom.      

Beginning November 6, 2023
Instructor: David Rottman, MA 

This course is not offered for NYS CE contact hours.

Some of the most useful applications of Jung’s ideas can be found in short books, and in single chapters in other books, where we come away with wonderful insights and memorable anecdotes and stories. In this course, we will read some of those works together and discuss the ideas and feelings they evoke.

  1. The Psychology of a Fairy Tale by David Hart. In this short pamphlet, beautifully written, we get a profound discussion of the role of evil and opposition in our lives. As the author shows, if met consciously these forces can lead to growth and enrich life. This particular fairy tale was at the center of David Hart’s whole life and after reading his interpretation, we can see why.
  2. The Psychological Meaning of Redemption Motifs in Fairytales by Marie-Louise Von Franz. In reviewing this book, our first author David Hart said it is “A very practical book on dealing with personal complexes.” With fairytales as her illustrating material, Marie-Louse Von Franz talks of the curse of unconsciousness that blights so many lives, and how the curse is lifted. We will discuss the crucial topic of generational or “family” curses.
  3. The Inner World of Childhood by Frances Wickes, Chapter 3, Three Illustrations of the Power of a Projected Image. With extraordinary understanding and great compassion, Frances Wickes “opens the door to the inner citadel of the psyche” and takes us into the role of the unlived life of the parents in the life of the child. Here is also is the memorable story of how a change in attitude of a parent can travel instantly across thousands of miles to a child--illustrating how interrelated psyches can influence each other even at a distance. (We’ll discuss the psychological equivalents of Einstein’s description of quantum physics as “spooky action at a distance.”)
  4. The Dialogue of a World-Weary Man with his Ba by Helmuth Jacobson (this will be a handout provided for class members). We will use a second text for comparison: The Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. (Class members can read any Standard Version)

Although we think of ourselves as modern, it is astonishing that in a 4000 year old document (The Dialogue of a World Weary Man) and a 2400 year old text (Ecclesiastes) we hear of emotions, conflicts, and resolutions that are as current as anything in our most current literature. Both texts ask: What is the point of it all? How do we deal with the limitations of human beings in social settings? How do we find peace within?

  1. The Career as a Path to the Soul by David Rottman, Chapter Two, “I’ve Grokked that I’m a Force Field.” (This chapter has a subtitle: “How rage is a creative act that is blocked.”) In this chapter, we watch as someone who thinks of himself as a good person--with good reason--nevertheless learns how his out-of-control frustration and anger at a dismissive boss are the fateful opportunity to raise his awareness of himself and life. We will discuss the variety of fateful events that can set us out on the individuation process.

Our goal in reading these short works will be to discover helpful stories and ideas from Jungian writers who have made Jung’s ideas accessible, and applicable to our lives.

Jungian Dream Interpretation

Fall I

Jungian Dream Interpretation

5 consecutive Fridays, 6:00-7:30 pm Eastern Time, USA via Zoom.

Beginning October 6
Instructor: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW, LP
 

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

A dream uses an imagistic language we can decipher. This language is universal, the same as used in myths from stone-age cultures. A dream shows us the next possible step in our developing personality. It warns us if we are going astray, encourages us if we need it, or offers penetrating insights into our confusion. We work together as a team and have fun. We confirm or disconfirm each interpretation with experimental evidence. We will not work with class members’ dreams. Please bring a dream, with permission, from a family member or friend.

Please look at the suggested readings at this address in advance of the start of this class:   https://jungny.com/jungian-dream-interpretation-readings/

Learning Objectives:

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

  1. Distinguish between associations, explanations, and amplifications to a dream image.
  2. Distinguish between Freud's and Jung's use of associations to dream images.
  3. Identify which part of a dream gives the current psychological situation.
  4. Recognize the dream's setting and its importance.
  5. Practice using both logic and imagination in dream analysis.
  6. Identify some physiological reactions of the dreamer which demonstrate a useful interpretation.
  7. Describe the relationship between a dream and the dreamer's psychological progress.
  8. Recognize when a dream may (or may not) be helpful in clinical work.
  9. Recognize what Jung meant by a "true symbol."

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

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 via Zoom
Beginning October 4
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.  The Transcendent Function, although written in 1916, was not published until 1957; Memories, Dreams, Reflections was not published until 1961, and The Red Book was not published until 2009.

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.”

Thus, it seems as though the individual psyche expresses itself in relation to the emotional experiences of the ego and/or a priori, the ego in relationship to the archetype. The particular visual forms of expression have their own personality (language, mannerisms and personal characteristics) unique to the autonomous psyche.  The Art of the personality is its expression in thoughts, ideas, emotions, behaviors, instincts, and the senses.

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.

Symbolism in the Arts: A Psychological Phenomenon for Clinical and Personal Applications

Seminar 2: Spring 2023

9 Tuesdays: 6:00 – 8:00 pm ET – a 2-hour class
March 7 – May 9, 2023 (excluding April 11th)


Instructor: Jane Selinske, EdD, LCSW, LP, NCPsyA

“…the human psyche is the womb of all the arts…and creative art has
its root in the immensity of the unconscious.” C.G. Jung, CW 15

Music, Literature and Art are a bridge to and from the unconscious and are vehicles in the symbolic process. The symbolic process is an experience in images and of images which Jung discovered in his descent into the unconscious as described in The Red Book. These images can be visual, auditory, kinesthetic and represent a symbolic representation that cannot be formulated in any other or better way [CW 15, par 105]. The purpose of the symbol is to bring something new to consciousness and to shift a previous psychological position held by an individual.

In the Arts the symbol has a dual function. The artistic expression breaks through from the collective unconscious and can move the society and culture forward. At the same time the symbol expressed by the artist acts personally within his own psyche and the psyche of the receiver. So, the symbol from the artist moves the individual and the collective into the future. Art symbols act as mediators uniting the unconscious with the conscious by circumambulating between the creator, the artistic creation and the observer. When we experience a great piece of art …we let the work of art act upon us as it acted upon the artist [CW 15, par 161].

In this class Jungian Analytic theory will be taught in order to assist in the interpretation and understanding of psyche’s symbolic meaning. The theory will demonstrate how Jung understood the function and value of symbolism. We will then look at the role of symbols in relation to the arts through experiencing significant examples of music, art and their creators.

Classes will be didactic and experiential and will consist of Jungian theory integration with these great pieces of music and art. There will be weekly assignments for further enhancement of the material consisting of listening to a specific music selection or viewing a piece of art. Participants will then be asked to journal their insights and observations for class discussions. Their journal entries will consist of the impact of the symbols within the music or art selection on themselves, possible clients and society. The intent of the class is to sensitize participants to the significance of symbols in the arts for personal and clinical application.

Learning Objectives:

The course is designed so that participants will be able to:

  1. Discuss different approaches to symbol interpretation such as:
    • Active Imagination
    • Amplification
    • Personal Associations
    • Objective Nature of the Symbol according to C.G. Jung
  2. Engage a symbol through imaginal/creative techniques.
  3. Describe C.G. Jung’s Map of the Psyche as the basis for understanding Jungian Psychological Theory.
  4. Discuss the significance of the unconscious language of images and symbols in art and music.
  5. Describe the differences between Jung and Freud regarding their understanding of symbols in the psyche.
  6. Understand the Arts as a bridge to and from the unconscious and as vehicles in the Symbolic Process.
  7. Discuss the symbol as having a dual function in the Arts To learn to discover the importance of symbols in art and music and apply them for personal and clinical use.
  8. Provide students with a bibliography on Symbolism in the Arts.

Attachment and Emotional Regulation in Religion and Spirituality

April 10–May 8, 2023
Eastern Time, USA, online only via Zoom.
Instructor: Cynthia Poorbaugh MFA, LP

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

In her 2018 book, Jung’s Studies in Astrology, the astrologer and Jungian analyst, Liz Greene wrote that Jung expressed an understanding “that planetary configurations—the ‘planetary gods’ in relation to each other—symbolize unconscious complexes, which are expressed imaginally through the mythic narratives that portray in symbolic form the structure and teleology of the complex.” (p. 26) In this class we will look at the symbolic layers of the astrological chart with complexes as our focus.

The popular, and often the clinical use of the term ‘complexed’ refers to a state in which ego consciousness is subsumed by a kind of sub-personality, or ‘splinter psyche’, as Jung observed early in his studies. But Jung also stressed that complexes are “characteristic expressions of the psyche” and the “normal phenomena of life.” (Vol. 8) We will examine how the natal chart reveals the archetypal structure of our psyches and also indicates ways that certain configurations can “constellate” as complexes.

This course will endeavor to reveal some valuable psychological insights that astrology illuminates — insights into Jung’s theoretical ideas, as well as into the direct experience of being ‘possessed’ by a complex. We will use sample charts to explore Greene’s point—crucial to a psychological perspective— that, “complexes, like planetary fate, are negotiable in their level of expression if not in their essence.” (Ibid, p. 28) We will be looking at the planets, signs and aspects through the lens of complexes, but it will be helpful to know the basic astrological meanings prior to the class, and to have this book on hand: Clare Martin’s Mapping the Psyche: An Introduction to Psychological Astrology, Volumes 1 and 2.

 

 


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

  1. To discuss Jung’s theory of complexes and their relationship to the archetypal structure of the psyche using astrology.
  2. To describe ways that astrology illuminates both psychic structure and potentials for expression.
  3. To strengthen archetypal discernment.
  4. To demonstrate an understanding of the astrological underpinnings of Jung’s thought.

Attachment and Emotional Regulation in Religion and Spirituality

5 consecutive Thursdays, 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Eastern Time, USA, online only via Zoom. 

Beginning April 13, 2023
Instructor: David Walczyk, EdD, LP, NCPsyA

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

The influence and connection between our childhood attachment relationships and our adult relationship and emotional regulation with religion and spirituality will be the focus of this course. Pragmatically, we will reflect on how our attachment style informs and often unconsciously determines the forms of spirituality and religion we are drawn to and reject as adults.

We will focus some of our time on shadow and how religion and spiritualty are often used unconsciously to spiritually bypass the processing and healing of early attachment trauma and emotional dysregulation. Unfortunately, this repression of childhood attunement trauma tends to be encouraged by many within spirituality and religion. We will end by using Jung and Jungian psychology as an applied case study. The implicit correlation between attachment and religion and spirituality in both positive and negative (shadow) senses should be obvious by the end of the course.
