Archetypes and their Use in Clinical Practice
Presented by J. Gordon Nelson, Ph.D.
Archetypal images lie at the core of the depth and breadth of psychological practice. An ability to identify and experience the energy of the archetype, as well as its power and structure, is an essential element in the communication and intensity of the connection between the patient, the therapist, and the world they live in. In this workshop and lecture we will look at differences between personal complexes and the archetypal images that unite, inform, and so often unconsciously dominate our human behavior and guide our thoughts.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe what is meant by the term individuation and why this archetype is a crucial part of the analytic process.
- Identify a complex with its archetypal core, and instinctual energy.
- Describe how to differentiate between an ego identification, a complex, and an archetype.
- Describe what is meant by the unconscious aspect of the personality and how an instinct can interfere with our capacity to tolerate conflict.
- Give an example of how dream analysis can support the process of individuation.
- Describe one way a person might know he or she is caught in a complex; Give an example of how an archetype can manifest in a dream.
