- CG Jung
This talk will explore the psychological and spiritual value of embracing uncertainty. We will examine the role of doubt in Jung's personal journey and in Buddhism as a way to foster our own ability to entertain uncertainty with a playful yet religious attitude. We will also discuss some case illustrations that show how wisdom can be hidden in both the patient's and therapist's uncertainty.
Our objectives are threefold: to describe such Zen practices as cultivating the "Great Doubt" and "don't-know-mind," to describe Jung's own relationship with Buddhism as a movement from uncertainty to deep appreciation, and to identify the powerful role of uncertainty in individuation.
We intend to offer CEUs for Social Workers for this program.
