Trauma and the Healing Power of the Image

5 consecutive Mondays, 6:00–7:40 pm  Beginning April 8

Instructor: Gary Brown, LCSW, LP

Human life is trauma, at best pain and pleasure mixed fine . . . More often, “nasty, brutish, and short” (Hobbes, “Leviathan”). Religion and, later, psychoanalytic work addressed this fact of life.  War and what was then called shell shock, as well as hysteria, were some of the early foci of the newly discovered and developed psychotherapy.  At the heart of this was psyche, the mysterious function which develops images from the pains and pleasures of life and allows meaning to happen. Though Freud enunciated what he called the Unconscious, Jung scientifically proved its existence via the Word Association Test, bringing Freud and psychoanalysis international attention.  Jung’s work became a quest for how the newly-discovered psychotherapy worked.  In a private conversation with an analyst, Jung said that history would record that he had discovered the “healing power of the image.”  We will explore in this class what Jung discovered:  that images contain and hold affect, the experience of feeling or emotion.
