SECTION ONE:
Course Introduction
Wednesday, September 6, 2023
Paul Watsky, PhD
Carolyn Bray, PHD

During this initial meeting, participants are invited introduce ourselves and identify clinical learning expectations. Course coordinators will engage participants, frame the course intent, and respond to questions. This one evening will be recorded and the recording will be provided to instructors as a way to meet the course participants. 

 
SECTION TWO:
Developing a Jungian Self
Wednesdays, September 13. 20, 27;
October 3, 2023
Helen Marlo, PHD

We will identify dimensions of a Jungian presence and attitude contributing to professional development. In C. G. Jung’s model of the psyche perspectives on teleology, interconnection, psychic energy, association-dissociation, fantasy, and imagination contribute to foundational concepts such as complexes, the Self, shadow and individuation.
 
SECTION THREE:
Dreams and Dreamwork
Wednesdays, October 11, 18, 25, 2023
Deborah Igoa-Kuhn, MFT
Paul Watsky, PHD

Jung writes in his essay General Aspects of Dream Psychology, “the dream is a spontaneous self-portrayal, in symbolic form, of the actual situation in the unconscious.” (CW vol.8, ¶ 505). However, these self-portrayals require translation into waking speech. We will survey Jung's recommendations for approaching dreams during psychotherapy.

 
SECTION FOUR:
Archetypal Patterns in Fairy Tales
Wednesdays, November 1, 8, 15, 2023
Christopher Cunningham, PHD
Lauren Cunningham, LCSW
 
Fairy tales present archetypal motifs, structures, themes, and figures as elemental stories from the collective unconscious. We will consider psychological associations, cultural associations, and archetypal patterns as they present in clinical practice.

 
SECTION FIVE:
Course Integration
Wednesday, November 29, 2023
Paul Watsky, PhD
Carolyn Bray, PHD
 
This evening is set aside to reflect on concepts presented, participants successes and challenges integrating concepts into clinical practice, and evaluation of the course to date.

 
SECTION SIX:

Infant States Carried Forward

Wednesdays, December 6, 13, 2023
Liza Ravitz, PHD
 
Infant states are often carried forward through adolescence into adulthood waiting to be addressed. We will look at how difficult circumstances and parenting of an infant live on in the puzzling emotional life of the adult. Methods that a therapist may use do not seem to bring about change. Many times, this results from not considering and analyzing the infant experiences and fantasies of our patients. Most therapists pay attention to the child within, but few examine the infant within. This course will emphasize the importance of infant experience in determining adult behavior. 

 
SECTION SEVEN:

Adolescents and Screens

Wednesdays, January 3, 10, 2024
Robert Tyminski. DMH
 
Adolescents spend hours daily focusing on screens. We’ll explore how media in cyberspace become alternate containers for many of them in distress. We talk about what this means for their psyche in terms of relationships and fantasies, especially their becoming fascinated with apocalyptic fantasies.

 
SECTION EIGHT:
Early/Middle Adulthood: Tests, Failures, and Growing through the Cracks
Wednesdays, January 17, 24, 2024
Katy Wray, MFT
 
The challenges of early and middle adulthood are a frequent catalyst for one’s first contact with a therapist. To individuate beyond adolescence, we must psychologically leave home as we have known it. Be tested out in the world, develop our latent capacities, discover our human limitations, and grow into our inner authority. We will explore the struggle to fully become an adult. This work requires us to be receptive to the unconscious child/adolescent within the adult: a young, vulnerable part of the self who may not want to grow up, or who already grew up too quickly. 

 
SECTION NINE:
Later Life Individuation, the Initiation of Death, and the Religious Cultural Attitude
Wednesday, January 31; February 7, 2024
Claire Costello, PHD
 
Later life, aging, and experiences of death are the focus of these classes where Jung’s theory of later life development and individuation.  We will take up the experience of later life. Later life psychology will be considered  How past/current events may bring the initiatory individuation process close into our lives, as it appears in our clinical consulting rooms, and as it affects us in our current zeitgeist.    


SECTION TEN:
Course Integration
Wednesday, November 29, 2023
Paul Watsky, PHD
Carolyn Bray, PHD
 
This evening is set aside to reflect on concepts presented, participants successes and challenges integrating concepts into clinical practice, and evaluation of the course to date.


SECTION ELEVEN:
Active Imagination and the Transcendent Function: Contemporary Perspectives
Wednesdays, February 21, 28; March 6, 13, 2024
Robin Eve Greenberg, MFT
 
Jung’s discovery and development of "active imagination" and the transcendent function will be considered in the light of contemporary Jungian thought and practice. We will consider how active imagination may impact the therapeutic relationship and the use of active imagination when considering countertransference.
 

 
 
SECTION TWELVE:
Reverie and Improvisation within the Analytic Frame
Wednesdays, March 20, 27; April 3, 10, 2024
Sanford Pepper, MD
 
Reverie, for the therapist as well as the patient, can be a valuable clinical experience. We will explore how our therapeutic practice can be enhanced when viewed through the lens of analytic reverie by employing the lens of jazz improvisation. The interplay of jazz improvisation may be viewed as a generative process which supports our patients in their quest for wholeness.

 
SECTION THIRTEEN:
Cultural Complexes
Wednesdays, April 17, 24, 2024
Samuel Kimbles, PHD
 
In this explosive moment in American culture and politics, the theory of cultural complexes may frame polarization around differences. We will reflect on the relative neglect of the role of sociocultural patterns when culture enters into psychotherapy.

SECTION FOURTEEN
Opening to Gender Expression
Wendesdays, May 1, 8, 2024
Naomi Azriel, MFT
 
Jung's thought on femininity and masculinity has had the paradoxical effect of expanding and complicating fixed notions of ensouled gender, and at the same time narrowing and concertizing analytic attitudes towards femininity and masculinity. In this seminar, we will explore queer genders as multiple, expansive and complex. We will look at how we work towards dissolving the (gender and other) binaries in our analytic work, such that the transcendent function can emerge, and the infinite soulfulness of gender can be present.
SECTION FIFTEEN
Dreams and Dreamwork
Wednesdays, May 15, 22, 2024
Deborah Igoa-Kuhn, MFT
Paul Watsky, PHD
In this second section on dreams, we will consider sequential dreams with attention on how Jung followed alchemical motifs produced by a client who in his later career won the Nobel prize in physics.
