The Tarot has a long history, with many books having been written on the subject, including Jung and Tarot: An Archetypal Journey, by Salle Nichols, who taught Symbolism of the Tarot, at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. For the psychologically minded, this lecture will explore ways in which the diverse images within tarot decks can be used for clinical work, and the enhancement of symbolic thinking. With the appropriate guardrails, the wide range of images available to the analyst and the analytic couple can provide the analyst with tools for deepening clinical reflections and archetypal amplifications. This lecture will assume that attendees are familiar with the traditional decks and have resources for amplification.
Learning objectives:
- Give an example of how a clinician can use images from the Tarot to help patients identify and reflect on their lived emotional experience.
- Give an example of how to utilize images from the Tarot to help patients amplify archetypal dream images.
- Differentiate between when it is appropriate or contra-indicated to utilize images from the Tarot when working with patients to help them gain access to their emotional experience
