The Other Side:
C.G. Jung’s Fascination with Alfred Kubin
November 4, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Event Navigation
Presented by Bradley A. TePaske, Ph.D.
Recommended by Jung as an exemplary portrayal of the unconscious, this phantasmagorical novel of dystopian social experiment and the dark aesthetic of Austrian artist, Alfred Kubin (1877-1959) reflects the torment of a son who lost his mother at ten, attempted suicide on her grave at nineteen and suffered a major mental break in military service. A series of graphics rife with evidence of polymorphous trauma will be explored in interactive discussion of perinatal experience, object-relational deficit, perceptual distortion, sexual abuse and gender identity. Jung’s views on the prophetic cultural role of the artist and the necessity of psychological insight is approached from personal experience as a graphic artist influenced by Kubin and Jungian analyst who lived to talk about it.
Course Objectives:
- Describe the role of intuition and the use of intra-psychic imagery in psychotherapy.
- Give an example of evidence in trauma in either an artistic production or from dream imagery.
- Describe some of the differences between regressive and progressive clinical development.
