Edith Sullwold Memorial Lecture
Childhood Innocence:
Racial Prejudice and the Shaping of Complexes
October 6, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Prepaid Cost: $45.00 – $60.00Event Navigation
Presented by Fanny Brewster, Ph.D.
Growing up within a particular culture defines personality as well as identity. In this lecture we will focus on the influential elements of ethnicity, racism, and related childhood trauma that are impactful in our formative years. Jung spoke of complexes as “splinter psyches” created by emotional trauma or shock. Our discussion will center on the possible development of personality and accompanying racial complexes in us as children that are reflections of racial relations in our American Collective.
Workshop Presentation:
Memories of childhood dreams can remain with us throughout a lifetime. This workshop is designed to help the dreamer re-visit significant childhood dreams relevant to our topic through active imagination.
Learning objectives:
- Define the term complex, and describe how the term is used in Jungian theory and practice;
- Describe what is meant by a racial complex, and give an example of how a patient might express such a complex;
- Describe how racial complex develop in response to early collective and personal trauma;
- Give an example of how to work with a patient’s dream which contains material related to a racial complex.
