In this seminar, we will explore the echoes of C.G. Jung in the structures of consciousness and emerging arational-integral consciousness of Jean Gebser, a contemporary and friend of Jung’s, and scholar of the evolution of consciousness.  To introduce and experience the lived philosophy of Gebser, we will delve into the dynamics of awareness by focusing on each of the “historic” structures of consciousness presented in Gebser’s magnum opus, The Ever-Present Origin.

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.

We don’t know where dreams come from but, from experience, we know their purpose. They show us the next possible step in our developing consciousness. They warn us if we are going astray, encourage us if we need it and offer penetrating insights into our confusion. To interpret dreams we have to be disciplined and logical but also emotional, feeling, imaginative and sensate. Using Jung’s concepts as our guide, we will combine our insights to explore each dream and feel success when the class as a whole recognizes an answer and experiences a deepening of consciousness. 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.

Eastern Time, USA, online only via Zoom
Beginning March 2, 2023

Instructor: David Walczyk, EdD, LP, NCPsyA

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

“We do as we have been done by.” – John Bowlby

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choice to become.” – Carl Jung

Have you ever wondered how our earliest relationships and the emotional regulation strategies we develop from them during our early life influences, informs, encodes, and unconsciously determines our adult lives and relationships. If so, then you’re interested in attachment, regulation, and how our early relationships are what structure our (un)consciousness.

In this course, we’ll review forms of attachment and regulation, and examine how attachment style and capacity for affect regulation effects adult life. We’ll also delineate the biological basis, that is the neuroscience, of attachment and regulation. Pragmatically, we’ll seek to apply and then reflect on the function of attachment and regulation within our everyday life. Participants who complete the course will gain a pragmatic understanding of attachment and regulation in their own lives and the lives of those they care about.

 

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

1. Discern and appraise the different styles of attachment and the different styles of affect regulation
2. Comprehend how attachment style and emotional regulation is formed during early childhood
3. Perceive and identify the effects of attachment style and affect regulation on adult life and relationships
4. Grasp and explain the relationship between attachment and neuroscience
5. Grasp and explain the relationship between affect regulation and neuroscience
6. Recognize how attachment style and affect regulation informs clinical practice as a therapist and as a patient/client.

Exploring the Widest and Most Revolutionary Applications of Jung’s Ideas

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.

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.

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:

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.
