Description:
The ego and its development and expression as a complex will be surveyed. As the center of consciousness, the ego’s role and value in development can be misunderstood and even relegated in importance. The ego is intimately related to the Self and individuation and is influenced by innate, developmental, experiential, and relational factors as initially postulated by Jung and Fordham. These factors, and their relevancy to the practice of therapy and analysis, will be explored in this course segment.
