It seems feasible to approach it in three courses, the first including sections I -III; the second, sections IV - X; the third, sections XI - XVI, plus the addenda. This unique volume ranges from a brief elementary (1901) glance by a young Jung reviewing Freud’s treatise “On Dreams” to a couple of insignificant papers before his death in 1961. In between is a rich collection of thinking and postulation, ranging from the substantive Tavistock lectures, through many of his principle concerns, and touching upon a kaleidoscopic probing of the human condition. It is an excellent way to garner a sense of this astounding mind without being trampled by the difficulties inherent in other volumes. Come, enjoy, and share your reactions; please read pp.5-69 for the first class.=0D=0A= =0D=0A= For this program, we intend to offer CEUs for Social Workers.=0D=0A= =0D=0A= Weaver L.

What use can we make of such (very human) character traits as hostility, deceitfulness, greed, arrogance, hatefulness, and jealousy? In this course, we will explore Jung’s concept of the Shadow, the repository of all the various and sundry aspects of ourselves that we deny and disavow. Banished into the uncon-scious, they derail our plans and intentions; our shadow becomes our burden and the dirty laundry that we keep from others. And yet it is also a vast treasure trove, if we have the courage to look inside and see who else we really are. Our personal Shadow can become a reservoir of hidden talents. We will read and discuss James Hollis’ new book Why Good People Do Bad Things. =0D=0A= =0D=0A= For this program, we intend to offer CEUs for Social Workers.=0D=0A= Sean Favretto, MA, is a creative arts psychotherapist, psychiatric counselor, and yoga instructor. He holds a graduate degree in dance/ movement psychotherapy from Columbia College Chicago, and has worked with psychiatric patients in both Washington, D.C., and Chicago. Sean has studied the creative process for over a decade, bringing together his experience as a professional artist and performer with his clinical training in psycho-therapy. He has studied and worked at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago, and currently sits on the board of the Jung Society of Washington. Sean has a special interest in severe mental disorders, characterological disorders, and their treatment. =0D=0A= END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20080606T233000Z DTEND:20080607T010000Z PRIORITY:0 CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:THE SELF AS SPIRITUS RECTOR: The Guiding Spirit of the Psyche TRANSP:0 UID:071227848123577277347551198622 URL:http://www.jung.org#lionellec LOCATION:The Embassy of Switzerland, 2900 Cathedral Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.

It is as if there is a blueprint or ground plan for our development that leads us to our unique telos or destiny. Jung asks us to consider what would have happened, for instance, if Saul of Tarsus had allowed himself to be talked out of his trip to Damascus! According to Jung, if we follow the promptings of the Self, we are faithful to the law of our own being, and we avoid living a collective life. We are given a particular vocation, which Jung suggests acts like a law of God from which there is no escape. There is an “undiscovered vein within us” that is like “a flow of water that moves irresistibly to its goal.” In Jung's words: Personality is Tao. =0D=0A= =0D=0A= In this lecture and workshop, I will describe various dreams and visions of the type that give us a clue about the presence of this spirit. In the process, we will view personality development as a process of the incarnation of the Self, especially focusing on emotion as the presence of spirit in the body. We will look at the processes of mirroring and idealization from an archetypal perspective, consider the problems of suffering and evil, examine the notion of depth psychology as a spiritual practice, and discover some of the implications of the Self as the Totality of the psyche. In the Saturday workshop, I hope that participants will be willing to share personal experiences of the presence of a guiding spirit. =0D=0A= =0D=0A= For this program, we intend to offer CEUs for Social Workers.=0D=0A= =0D=0A= Lionel Corbett, M.D.,is a Jungian Analyst who trained in medicine and psychiatry in England and as a Jungian Analyst at the C.G.
