"The energy of the central point is manifested in the almost irresistible compulsion and urge to become what one is, just as every organism is driven to assume the form that is characteristic of its nature, no matter what the circumstances.” C.G. Jung

Jung described the individuation process as compulsive, a powerful inner urge that's almost impossible to resist. While the energy behind this urge can lead to the development of a whole and unique personality, it can also be used to compensate for insecurity, leading to the illness of our times, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

Using Greek myth and modern film, we will explore how the energy inherent in individuation and the archetype of the Hero may be hijacked to prove that we are worthy of love. The original intention of individuation and of the Hero is lost and the personality becomes rigid, controlling, and work-obsessed.  Understanding the teleology, the original intent of the urge to individuate, can help us to re-channel this energy into more satisfying and meaningful ways of living. This presentation will be of help to clinicians who treat clients with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), individuals who struggle with their own compulsive tendencies, and partners of individuals whose personalities have become difficult to deal with because of their rigidity.

 

Learning Objectives

• Distinguish OCD from OCPD.
• Identify three characteristics of clients with OCPD.
• Identify two adaptive aspects of the compulsive personality.
• Identify two key aspects of treating compulsive patients.

As we move further into the 21^st century it becomes possible to reflect more on 19^th and 20^th century psychological theories. One such theoretical writing was C.G. Jung’s A Review of the Complex Theory.  This theory of a “color” complex was developed by Jung in regard to individuals of Africanist ancestry.  As Americans we live with the collective cultural trauma of racism that has been a part of our society since slavery. This intergenerational trauma caused by the racial complex continues to be constellated on an individual as well as a collective level. 

Jungian Psychology with a focus on the unconscious as well as ego development is concerned with psychological complexes. Jung’s idea regarding complexes is an entry to explore the racial complex in relationship to ethnicity, racism and intergenerational trauma, through a perspective that addresses de-colonization of psychological theories. This workshop invites us to engage in conversation, writing and thoughtful dialogue about this relationship, in a direction towards deeper understanding and healing.

 

Learning Objectives

• Discuss C.G. Jung's general theory of psychological complexes and its applicability to clinical practice in terms of the Transference relationship.
• Explain two characteristics of C.G. Jung’s “color”/ racial complex, its theoretical history and contemporary influence on the development of cultural group process.
• Define C.G. Jung's perspective on the American collective societal issue of racism as described in his Collected Works writings from the 1930’s.

Aging held a special significance for Jung and he wrote extensively about it as a crowning of a life struggle with individuation. In “The Stages of Life” he writes that an aging person has a duty and responsibility to devote serious attention to himself/herself. Jung called this period the “Afternoon of Life,” a time to explore what we have neglected or repressed during our lifetime. This session will explore both the losses and opportunities for transformation using life examples, dreams, myths and fairy tales. We will name and describe three losses that occur as people age, explain the importance of life review in the aging process, describe the final stage of Erik Erikson’s developmental process and give examples of how this works, explore the meaning of a “second childhood” from both a negative and positive point of view and examine from a Jungian point of view the role of the soul and death.
