The Analytical Psychology Club Presents:
The Alchemy of Play
September 29, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Prepaid Cost: $35Event Navigation
Presented by Daniel Anderson, Ph.D.
Jung noted that “the creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity.” Playing and creativity are intimately related. Jung greatly valued play, including building little stone villages, as a way of orienting himself after his break with Freud. Play itself can be understood as therapy’s prima materia, as well as the alchemical philosopher’s stone, and we will see how alchemical stages appear in play therapy in the treatment of children.
Daniel Anderson, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Santa Monica, who works with adults, children, adolescents and their parents. Dr. Anderson received his doctorate from Pacifica Graduate Institute and trained at the Jung-von Franz Centre in Zurich. He completed a pre-doctoral internship at the Los Angeles Jung Institute, and a post-doctoral Fellowship in Psychodynamic Child-Adolescent Psychotherapy at the Reiss-Davis Child Study Center in Los Angeles.
