This is our Jung Memorial Workshop. Around the world Jung Societies, Centers and Institutes do Memorial Lectures to commemorate the death of Jung on June 6, 1961. We seek a world-known, senior analyst to do this lecture and we have been fortunate to have Donald Kalsched in the past and again this year. His work is complex and satisfying. We are delighted to welcome him for this special occasion.
The battle that emerges in trauma therapy between feeling- and anti-feeling powers as they find their way into the analytic partnership is one that Jung seldom described and is much stormier than the benign “unfolding” of human potential he sometimes described as “individuation.” To understand the human and archetypal “children” in the psyche (and their split-off vulnerable feelings), we must also understand the human and archetypal oppressors of these “children” (and their violent, attacking energies). This will require a re-visioning of Analytical Psychology in light of contemporary findings about affect and defense in the earliest years of child development, when intractable dissociative defenses and their organizing “systems” are formed.
In this workshop we will explore various clinical examples of the “stormy negotiation” between the analytic partners for the release of the psyche’s “children.”
Donald E. Kalsched, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist and Jungian Psychoanalyst who practices in Brunswick Maine. He is a member of the C. G. Jung Institute of New England, and a training analyst with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. His celebrated book The Inner World of Trauma: Archetypal Defenses of the Personal Spirit (Routledge 1996) explores the interface between contemporary psychoanalytic theory and Jungian thought as it relates to practical clinical work with the survivors of early childhood trauma. His more recent book, Trauma and the Soul: A Psycho-spiritual Approach to Human Development and its Interruption (Routledge, 2013) explores some of the mystical dimensions of clinical work with trauma-survivors.
