For psychotherapists in the early or mid-stage of their careers, who want to grow in analytical technique and core Jungian concepts in clinical practice.

In these yearlong case conferences we hope to create a safe and respectful environment in which participants can present their work to each other and to the conference leader. We aim to help each other develop our skills as practitioners of a depth approach. This involves learning how to think symbolically about what is getting evoked and spoken of in the hour, to listen to ourselves and the other, to expand our capacity to listen to the derivatives, and to think about dreams as symbolic communications. We will consider material from both psychoanalytic and Jungian lenses including such concepts as the role of complexes, the purposeful nature of the psyche, individuation and the self.

These case conferences are open to psychotherapists of all disciplines who consider themselves in the early or middle stages of their careers, whether they are in private practice, agency settings, or a combination. The small group venue offers a special opportunity to co-create a learning environment which supports and strengthens the skills of each participant in the service of becoming more effective and competent practitioners. Faculty will facilitate multi-week modules, providing one key article per module, focusing on areas of analytic technique and core Jungian concepts with clinical applications. To promote continuity and safety among group members, we ask participants make a commitment to attend regularly.
