The History of Jungian Oriented Psychotherapy
Monday, September 18, 2023
John Beebe, MD
Early experiences in C. G. Jung’s career shaped his understanding of the defensive complexes that grow in all of us in response to trauma. In his middle years, however, Jung began to move beyond complexes to complexity itself. We will trace this history, which models how multiple perspectives are needed to foster integration.
SECTION TWO:
A Symbolic Attitude
Mondays, October 2, 9, 16, 2023
Yvonne Smith Tarnas, MFT, PHD
A Symbolic Attitude
Mondays, October 2, 9, 16, 2023
Yvonne Smith Tarnas, MFT, PHD
Developing a symbolic attitude is a key clinical approach in analytical psychology. Our focus will include weaving in Jung’s concepts of archetypes, alchemy and transference, synchronicity, and shared meanings as elements in developing a symbolic attitude.
SECTION THREE:
The Complex of Identity: Ego, Ego Development, and the Structure of the Psyche
Mondays, October 23, 30; November 6, 13, 2023

Shoshana Fershtman, JD, PHD
Jung’s conceptualization of the ego, the Latin word for “I.” In this section, we explore Jung’s view of the ego, ego complex and identity. We explore ego development and its challenges, and the ego’s relationship to other aspects of the psyche, including the shadow, the persona, and the Self.
SECTION FOUR:
Complexes: Theory and Practice

What Jung termed “feeling-toned complexes”, i.e. organized unconscious psychological patterns, can disrupt ego function and interfere with psychological integration, but they can also have the potential to facilitate the transformation of inter- and intra-personal relationships.

The Archetypal Psyche
Mondays, January 8, 22, 29; February 5, 2024
Robin Eve Greenberg, MFT
Jung conceived of the archetypes as universal patterns embedded in the collective unconscious. Archetypes carry meanings on the wings of symbol and affect. We will consider how to work with archetypal material in the context of the therapeutic relationship.
SECTION SIX:
Types of Consciousness
Mondays, February 12, 26; March 4, 11, 2024
John Beebe, MD
Dorothy Stump, MFT
Types of Consciousness
Mondays, February 12, 26; March 4, 11, 2024
John Beebe, MD
Dorothy Stump, MFT
In 1934, Jung wrote that the purpose of his work on psychological types was not to sort people into categories but as “a critical apparatus” to “organize the welter [confusion] of empirical material” that comes up when one plumbs the psyche. The psychological types, then, are not types of people, but types of consciousness.
SECTION SEVEN:
Approaching the Unconscious:
Perspectives on the Body and Dreams
Mondays, March 18, 25; April 1, 2024
Tina Stromsted, PHD, MFT, LPCC, BC-DMT, RSME/T
Approaching the Unconscious:
Perspectives on the Body and Dreams
Mondays, March 18, 25; April 1, 2024
Tina Stromsted, PHD, MFT, LPCC, BC-DMT, RSME/T
This section of classes will focus on how our bodies and dreams may be our closest links to the unconscious, expressing the soul’s longing through image, breath, gesture, the rhythm of our step, and the music of our speech.
SECTION EIGHT:
Anima and Animus, Recovering Depths
Mondays, April 8, 15, 22, 29, 2024
Lauren Cunningham, LCSW
Christopher Cunningham, PHD
Since their introduction by Jung, the terms of anima and animus have been complicated concepts. We will consider their meanings before Jung, Jung’s conceptions of anima and animus development, as well as post-Jungian expansions and refinements of the concepts.
SECTION NINE:
The Self, Ego-Self Alignment and Individuation
Mondays, May 6, 13, 20; June 3 2024
Carolyn Bray, PHD
The Self, Ego-Self Alignment and Individuation
Mondays, May 6, 13, 20; June 3 2024
Carolyn Bray, PHD
Jung’s concept of the Self, is one of his most original contributions to the field of psychology as it straddles the divide between the science of mental health healing and the religious function of the psyche. We will focus on the ego-Self axis which facilitates the process of individuation, and the Self as an organizing principle of wholeness.
