For C.G. Jung, creativity is a natural process of the psyche. Creative activity can be healing for the individual and even transformational for both the individual and culture. In this presentation Dr. James Newell will discuss the distinction between creativity as a healing practice, creativity as craft, as art, and as high art. Any discussion of Jung and creativity must be understood in the context of Jung’s understanding of psychological maturation, or the process of individuation. As such, Dr. Newell’s presentation will include a discussion of individuation and its relation to the creative process. This presentation will also serve as an introduction to an eight week college-level course on Jung, Creativity, and the Arts offered this fall through the Depth Psychology Academy.
