Working with Children Through a Jungian Lens
Presented by Elizabeth Schofield-Bickford, M.A., L.M.F.T.
Jung searched for a method to heal himself. He was drawn to engage the impulses and images of the unconscious. While Jung himself did not see children, he found good medicine in listening to his own inner childlike impulses to engage his inner images to heal himself. In this seminar, we will explore some of the ways the unconscious emerges in drawing, dreams, play, and sandplay when working with children. We will look at these expressions of the unconscious separately and then use case vignettes to illustrate these developing aspects of the child’s psyche and their implications in the journey of individuation.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the symbolic underpinnings of working with children.
- Describe methods used in working with children from a Jungian perspective.
- Identify themes that are often woven through a child’s process.
- Discuss working with transference, countertransference, and parents.
