A daylong Zoom Seminar led byRoyce Froehlich PhD, MDiv, LCSW

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

Jung spoke of living in two psychic realms that he identified as The spirit of the times and The spirit of the depths.  In order to navigate between them, Jung found it imperative to quiet his own nerve network through an unspecified “yoga technique” and take the opportunity to unplug from daily life by night and reconnect to his soul, enabling him to find inner silence, listen to the spirit of the depths, and reset his disposition toward himself and the Self.  It was at such times that the spirit of the depths spoke to him clearly.  He took dictation and left us instructions.  This seminar will touch on some of the fundamental problems presented in the docu-drama The Social Dilemma; i.e., the interface of the media matrix and its disindividuating effects on the psyche through a Jungian’s lens.

One of those who listened to Jung was the media theorist Marshall McLuhan (the global village, and the medium is the message), who already in the 1950s theorized on the psychological effects of media and their impact that we are seeing today on human and natural affairs. “The 'content' of any medium,” McLuhan observed, “blinds us to the character of the medium,” and that “electro-technical forms do not foster civilization but tribal culture.”  He was not alone in having such concerns about the effects of technological “progress” and its tendency to present an atmosphere of disindividuation.

Jung and McLuhan were highly sensitive to the impact of technology on humankind’s nature.  And both were deeply religious: McLuhan, a devout Catholic; Jung a prophet of the Way to Come (Red Book).  One embraced the absurdist response to the apocalyptic tone generated by the World Wars, the other decried Dada.  The Beatles will serve as a bridge between the two, while philosopher Martin Heidegger’s paradigm for asking questions concerning technology—the Gestell (the set-up, the inherent framework) that creates what McLuhan calls a proscenium arch around the planet, with human actors following technology’s script)—guides this presentation.

Learning Objectives

1. Explain the basics of a Jungian theory of the archetype.
2. Describe how electronic media technologies have entered the individual’s intra-psychic space and influenced the collective, inter-relational field.
3. Assess Jung’s contribution to the understanding of the human psyche and its value for clinical treatment today.
4. Discuss some key concepts in Jung’s Analytical Psychology within a context of philosophers and critics of technology.
5. Critique the proposed diagnostic term “Generalized Media Disorder.”
6. Recognize connecting links between Jung’s analytic paradigm and the treatment of Generalized Media Disorder.

“Complexes are in truth the living units of the unconscious psyche…”C.G. Jung, (CW 8 ¶210)

Jung’s theory of complexes was prescient. His ideas about the structure of the psyche prefigured today’s breakthroughs in neuroscience in that early in the twentieth century he proposed the human psyche as a non-unitary entity essentially composed of a multitude of smaller components that he called complexes.

Jung theorized that the complexes are multi layered, and that an individual begins life with the archetypes existing a priori.  Early experience, both personal and cultural, begins to shape the complexes in an individual way.  In that the core layer of the complex is the archetype, it has a bivalent expression, both a positive and negative.  Most adults are aware of aspects of themselves, or aspects of their complexes, that they try to suppress or avoid.  Ultimately these are the parts of the self that become the “trouble-makers” of the psyche.  Special attention will be paid to developing therapeutic processes that invite all aspects of psyche into the development of wholeness and individuation.

In this workshop, Katherine Olivetti will discuss Jung’s complex theory, and connect it to more recent depth psychological literature. Through lecture, discussion, and experience participants will have the opportunity to learn how to work with a complex, their own or a client’s, how to understand the part the complex plays in the overall defensive structure, how the movement of complexes is related to dissociation and trauma, and how healing occurs.  Participants are asked to bring a notebook for written exercises.

Learning Objectives

• Explain the basics of a Jungian theory of complexes.
• Discuss how complexes compose the defensive structure of the psyche.
• Explain the relationship between the formation of the complex, trauma, and dissociation.
• Identify the activation of a complex personally and in others.
• Apply techniques to help professionals and clients hold a space from which to understand more deeply the complex that is activated.
• Demonstrate how to work with dream material that sheds insight on complexes and the way they interfere with individuation.
