“Ultimate truth…requires the concert of many voices.”

                                                                                                           C.G.  Jung (CW18, 1236)

This seminar will focus on engaging with the many voices with which Psyche speaks. Like the many colorful threads that become woven together to create a magnificent tapestry, the complexity of Psyche requires understanding through many analytic languages. Several analytic theories or approaches may be necessary for the analysis of any patient. Jung explicitly states this position in Memories, Dreams, Reflections (p. 131), “To my mind, in dealing with individuals, only individual understanding will do. We need a different language for every patient. In one analysis I can be heard talking the Adlerian dialect, in another the Freudian.” This seminar will provide a survey of the most significant developments in the evolution of Analytical Psychology and psychoanalysis.

This seminar will be offered over 9 months, 3 hours per seminar. Each seminar will devote 1 ½ hours to theoretical discussion and 1 ½ hours to group case supervision. Each month will be devoted to a different theoretical orientation, highlighting major shifts in theory and technique. These psychoanalytic schools of thoughts will be discussed from a Jungian perspective; identifying ways in which the psychoanalytic schools of thought and the Jungian orientation differ from each other and ways in which they complement each other – ultimately creating a common ground of analysis from the alchemical amalgam of all of the orientations.
