Jung is one of the few psychotherapists who has written extensively about our relationship with Nature. He warned of the consequences of our separation from the nonhuman world, of taking from the earth with no reciprocity, and of our consequent loss of soul. He also describes how spending time in the natural world can be deeply healing, opening doors to imagination, synchronicity, and the numinous, inviting us to take our place once again within the sacred matrix of life.

The Collective Unconscious in the Age of Neuroscience:
Severe Mental Illness and Jung in the 21st Century
Presented by Hallie Durchslag, Ph.D.
Is all psychosis the same? Depth psychology treats it as such, yet medical models of severe mental illness say different. While medication can be a dirty word in Jungian circles, some disorders cannot be treated without it. Is there common ground? Can Jung’s bedrock notion of a collective unconscious coexist within scientific advances that have occurred since his death? The answer is a resounding yes. This workshop will explore the remarkable prescience of Jung’s work, how medical models actually advance his theory, and the challenges and opportunities for analytical psychology moving forward.

In-Person + Zoom: For Clinicians Only:
Is Tele-Psychoanalysis an Oxymoron?
Presented by Pamela Power, Ph.D.
This presentation is meant to open a discussion of the impact of tele-health technology on the psychoanalytic process with a particular focus on transference and countertransference. The more hidden and refractory aspects of the psyche seem to be less effectively met in the process of ‘distance’ analysis. While we are aware of the losses ensued by the lack of in-person meetings, are there any gains? Perhaps we are living in the midst of a paradigm shift to what Jungian psychoanalysis is becoming.

Defensive and Destructive Encounters in the Analytic Process
Presented by Stephen Kenneally, M.B.A., M.F.T.
How do clinicians and patients bear the spark of consciousness that the analytic encounter can generate when we know that full integration is elusive and slow? The slow circling of a complex can be frustrating; the defensive regressions can be demoralizing; and the envious attacks can be exasperating. This conversation will address various strategies to help the therapist hold these reactions and discuss ways of thinking about these painful encounters as necessary precursors in the service of individuation.

At the Intersection of Identity Politics and Analytical Psychology
Presented by Barry Miller, Ph.D.
As our present culture struggles (as all cultures do) to find what seem like the "truths" about ourselves and our position in the culture, we must all relate personally to the emerging ideas that have enormous impact in generating pivotal assumptions of physical and psychology identity. Issues such as recognizing the urgent need to bring in those who have been outcastes, or our yearning for an understanding of the variance of sexualities and gender, are some of the conditions that generate a tendency to coagulate a readily communicable identity, offering a sense of knowing who one is and who is the other. The analytic relationship becomes an arena where these truths and emerging ideas are tested in terms of an individual's own psychology. The ways in which we approach these current themes, how they emerge in the work, and how we maintain a psychological attitude in the presence of these tensions will be the focus of our discussion.

Group Dreaming during Times of Extraordinary Private and Communal Stress
Presented by Judith Hecker, Ph.D.
Beginning in September 2001, a small group of candidates in training at the C. G. Institute of Los Angeles began meeting to discuss their dreams. Some of the themes that emerged included responses to the stress, fear, and anxiety resulting from the current political situation, how individuals respond to extreme personal and communal disturbance, and what analytical psychology has to offer in terms of dealing with current reality and our adaptive responses to it. We will also address how to apply the principles of small group dreaming to one’s clinical practice.

From Gregorian Chant to Rap:
Music is Always the Bridge
Presented by Pamela Power, Ph.D.
This presentation will begin with a brief overview of the evolution of Western music before turning to the music of Rap that today plays a powerful, perhaps unrecognized, artistic function of our times. Rap is ubiquitous around the world, provides a unifying function and carries a spirit of global awareness. Rap can be seen as contemporary ‘liturgical’ music.
