The Centre for Applied Jungian Studies hosts Susan E. Schwartz, Ph.D. as she presents on the topic of her newest book, The Shadows of the Psyche; Predators of Self-deception, Envy Sirens and Demon Lovers (2027). Susan is a Zurich-trained Jungian analyst, author, frequent Jungian-themed podcast guest, and YouTube personality.
Our minds contain a vast universe of nuances and secrets to be unraveled. Yet, we are limited by the decay from self-deception lying in the shadows, unconscious, and taking us off our path.
These come in the forms of demon lovers and envy sirens, addictions and compulsions, drawing to self-deception, and distorting reality. Deception divides self-knowledge in the web of internal saboteurs and shadow complexes. This presentation explores the fascism of the mind, touting rigid, superficial, and collective narcissistic responses to the current anxieties, threats, and terrors.
A case example from Jungian analytical thought and treatment illustrates this unconscious deceptive pull, conscious awareness of the shadow and complex, and the reality of the psyche. The treatment steps to foster growth and development become more immanent and important as our world descends into chaos. The presentation will consist of a slideshow and a Q&A. Expect a thoughtful, atmospheric discussion of psychological insight, reflection, conversation, and meaningful exploration in an intimate setting.
