This course will teach how to engage the deeply disturbed psychotic patient in an intensive psychotherapy, helping patients understand the symbolic meaning of delusions, hallucinations and other bizarre psychological phenomena. With the emergence of an observational capacity, psychic energy, no longer trapped in delusions, is freed up for dealing with the external world.

Case studies will demonstrate the efficacy of an in depth psychodynamic psychotherapy of the previously psychotic person, leading to a lessening and ultimately a cessation of need for antipsychotic medication. Jungian discussants and classroom discussion will aid in presenting how the intensive psychotherapy of schizophrenia develops and heals those who must bear the illness.
