Redemption and the Dark Masculine: Recovering Authentic Masculinity as Part of the Individuation Process

5 Tuesdays, 6:30–8:00pm
Beginning November 10, 2020
Instructor: Christopher Cooper, MS, LP

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. As part of the #metoo movement, much is being written about “toxic” masculinity, insidious misogyny, and the need for collective action to stem the tide of violent acts against women. 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.

  1. Challenge the social norms and gender stereotypes that have placed limits on the male gender experience.

The Resurrection of Shadow through Dream Imagery: A View at the Border of Light and Dark

5 Thursdays, 6:00–7:30pm
Beginning October 8, 2020
Instructor: Joan Golden-Alexis, PhD

“The shadow is an archetype that is the most accessible and the easiest to experience. The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.”—C.G. Jung, C.W. §14 9ii

The shadow, often discernable in dreams through personifications that are of the same sex as the dreamer, displays character traits and ways of behaving that form the counter-part to the conscious personality. When resurrected, the shadow personalities are seen to embody not only repressed drives, but more importantly those values that consciousness rejects. The shadow, however, is not the mere opposite of the conscious personality, but rather represents what each conscious personality lacks. Shadow represents for each of us what we might have been, but as yet not had the chance to be. Thus, shadow throws a bright light on identity, who one is relative to what one might have become, and offers a clarifying focus on the choices we have made and how these choices may have severely limited our innate potential. Shadow, our most intimate life companion, never leaves our side and scrupulously tracks how much we exclude that which belongs to us, shedding a constant light upon the processes that cast a long shadow.

This course will be devoted to examining how our dreams naturally and organically draw attention to this subtle exclusionary process, and consequently offer the dreamer the possibility of discovering the depth of his moral integrity while tracking at a given moment what is most essential in his personality that may have been overlooked.

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


Learning Objectives

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

  1. To develop a sense of how dream imagery informs and broadens our understanding of shadow, and its enormous role in expanding the growth of consciousness.
  2. To acquaint ourselves with dreams as a productive force that opens us to a symbolic understanding of the transformational potential of shadow personalities and their relationship to aspects of what the ego doesn’t yet recognize.
  3. To learn to view dream language as a cinematic event that can best be understood through an affective and kinesthetic correspondence to the imagery.
  4. To formulate a tentative answer to the question: “Is psyche ever out of touch with the importance of the moral integrity as it relates to the transformation of the personality?”
  5. Using the skills learned during the first four sessions, we will wrestle with an understanding of the shadow elements in the dreams offered by the class.

Recommended Reading

A Narrative will be sent before the class begins containing all the background information to allow for a more in depth understanding of the content covered by the class. Please read as the class proceeds.

Paleolithic Cave Painting and the Emergence of Consciousness in the Two Million Year Old Man

5 consecutive Tuesdays, 7:00–8:30pm
Beginning October 6, 2020
Instructor: Harmar D. Brereton, MD

We will review the background to the emergence of human consciousness and the artistic behavior of humans in Paleolithic Europe.

Definitions of consciousness, symbol and art will be established followed by a brief review of human evolution and migration out of Africa along with the conditions in Europe 40,000 years ago which fostered the remarkable variety of artistic expression. We will examine why the caves may have been painted, considering the many possibilities. We will view examples of Portable and Parietal art with an emphasis on the caves of Altamira, Les Cavernes du Volp, Lascaux and Chauvet as well as examples from many other caves.

Finally, we will look at recent discoveries which suggest remarkably modern artistic concepts and techniques. Each presentation will take about 60-75 minutes with time for discussion and questions if possible.

CE’s are not offered for this course.

Anxiety: What is it, and how do we deal with it, from a Jungian Perspective

 

5 consecutive Mondays, 7:00 – 8:30pm
Beginning October 5, 2020
Instructor: David Rottman, MA

“Every source of anxiety and frustration in one’s personal life, if it’s traced back far enough, will be found to derive from the Self.” (Edward F. Edinger, Ego and Self, p. 70)

The agonizing experience of anxiety, that robs so many people of the enjoyment of life, requires new ideas and perspectives that we get from depth psychology. In this course we will look at the nature of anxiety--with attention also to the nature of relief and calm--in each of three of life’s stages: Anxiety in Youth, Anxiety in Middle Age, and Anxiety in Old Age. By looking at anxiety from a Jungian perspective, we can see what the often hidden goals of anxiety are, as well as the essential life tasks associated with anxiety. We will focus on the process of “working through” to the central core of the origin and the resolution of anxiety.

Readings will include electronically distributed excerpts from Jung’s work. There is one text for the course: Ego and Archetype by Edward F. Edinger, which can be purchased from the Jung Foundation Bookstore and on Amazon.

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


Supplementary Texts

The Way of the Image, Yoram Kaufmann
Ego and Self, Edward F. Edinger
The Creation of Consciousness, Edward F. Edinger
The Symbolic Quest, Edward C. Whitmont

Learning Objectives

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

  1. Describe the nature and origin of anxiety from a depth psychology perspective.
  2. Discuss the post-anxiety restoration of “centered” ego functioning, from a Jungian point of view.
  3. Outline the tasks and requirements for processing anxiety creatively, in three stages of adult life span development.
  4. Summarize the role of anxiety in the development of personal and social identity.
