One of Jung’s most important contributions to analytic practice has been his concept of individuation.\u00a0 While he recognized the necessity of focusing on ego development, such as integrating one’s projections, taking responsibility for identifying and working through one’s complexes, his primary interest was individuation,\u00a0 moving beyond the persona and understanding one’s relationship to the larger world.\u00a0 To this end, he studied the mythological motifs of different cultures, acquainting himself with aspects of the collective unconscious as a means of helping patients understand and make meaning out of their internal experiences in a larger context beyond the personal.\u00a0 This presentation will focus on a\u00a0series of three archetypal dreams which reflect motifs from Alchemical, Arthurian, Egyptian, Classical, Celtic, and Nordic mythologies.\u00a0 We will focus on ways of amplifying the patient’s dream material, including how to identify and consider the dream symbols from a personal as well as archetypal perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
