SUMMARY:Global Interdependence vs. Social and Political Fragmentation: The Need for Psychological Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Seth Wigdor Robbins\, MD\, MPH \nIf our small planet is going to remain a sustainable home to the growing billions of people who live here\, we need to acknowledge our vulnerability and profoundly change the ways we handle our interdependence. Too many of us have lost our senses of awe\, gratitude\, connectedness\, and sacrifice\, leading to powerful individual and social forces that work against adopting cooperative behaviors. In this presentation\, we will consider individual and cultural complexes and defenses that impede the needed transformation of collective consciousness. This psychological transformation represents a critical step in human evolution\, and our failures in this regard are already the basis for profound destruction and suffering\, leading to international conflict. Changes that many of us resist could paradoxically lead to greater sustainability and a more meaningful way of living. The potential contributions of psychology and analytic theory in movement toward an actualizing model of human cooperation will be considered.  \nCourse Objectives: \n\nDescribe cultural complexes that impede the needed transformation of collective consciousness.\nDiscuss the contributions analytical psychology can play in how we handle our interdependence\, personally and collectively.\n\nSeth Wigdor Robbins\, MD\, MPH\, is a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst in private practice in San Francisco and Berkeley\, and a member of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. He sees adult patients in his practice\, and is interested in how current cultural factors influence attitude and outcomes in analysis and psychotherapy. He is also trained in Public Health\, and has a longstanding interest in environmental issues and in trying to understand psychological factors underlying people’s resistance to more effectively address climate change\, and in the implementation of more sustainable and cooperative ways of living.

SUMMARY:A Clinical Conference on the Racial Complex
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Fanny Brewster\, Ph.D.\nBrockton Hill\, J.D.\, M.A.\nCydny Rothe\, L.C.S.W. \nFor Clinicians Only \nThe Racial Complex:\nDissociation and the Search for Unification with the Self\nFanny Brewster\, Ph.D.\nDrawing from Jung’s Complex Theory\, we will discuss its applicability to deepening our understanding of personal as well as collective cultural complexes in terms of ethnicity. The tension between the ego’s sense of fragmentation and dissociation that often accompanies this complex\, and the psyche’s desire for unification will be examined from a clinical perspective. There will be time for discussion of the archetypal factors which animate this powerful complex. \nOn the Racist Nature of the Psyche\nBrockton Hill\, J.D.\, M.A.\nThe psyche\, as imagined by Jung in his final and most mature theoretical writings\, exists between two internal poles that generate the energy that constitute its substance. These poles Jung termed instinct and spirit\, with instinct rooted in the body and matter and spirit lodged in the heavenly realm of what Jung termed the archetypes. This talk will explore how collective western consciousness produced racism in response to the psychic conflict between the drive to power of instinct and the demands of morality rooted in spirit. \nReflections on Racism from a Mixed heritage Analyst\nCydny Rothe\, L.C.S.W.\nOpening up our hearts and minds to the influence of racism in our personal\, professional and political lives is hard and important work. For some\, the discussion has always been on the table and comes out of years of personal and cultural trauma. \nFor others\, the discussion has been a choice and in some cases\, has been hidden by dissociation. Taking up the personal experiences and ancestral resonances of a mixed heritage Jungian analyst\, this talk will unpack some of the issues that keep consciousness and conversations about race sequestered in faraway corners of the psyche. \nDreaming in Black and White:\nRace and the Unconscious\nFanny Brewster\, Ph.D.\nThis Dream Workshop invites participants to share dream material that is related to racial or ethnic issues previously un-examined within a group setting. The purpose of the group is to allow material from the unconscious that can support the dreamer and dream group members in deepening their understanding of themselves\, complexes\, etc. through dreams. Please bring a dream. \nPanel Discussion \nCourse Objectives: \n\nIdentify three Jungian Psychology theories: Shadow\, Opposites and Complexes and their relationship to the Jungian concept of Other in terms of ethnicity.\nDescribe what is meant by a personal\, self-identified racial complex.\nList and give an example of three American cultural complexes that have led to inter-generational collective societal problems.\nDescribe the instinctual pole of the psyche as understood by Jung.\nDescribe the spiritual pole of the psyche as understood by Jung.\nList three racial informed theoretical dream features of the shadow from a Jungian perspective.\nDescribe the main characteristics of Jung’s theory of opposites and their applicability to racial issues in the clinical setting\nGive an example of how the ego\, shadow and an archeytpe can manifest within a dream state experience\, and include any relevant ethnic contextual references.\n\nFanny Brewster\, Ph.D. is a Jungian analyst and author of poetry and nonfiction. Her book African Americans and Jungian Psychology: Leaving the Shadows has recently been published by Routledge (2017). Her poems from Journey: The Middle Passage have appeared in the Psychological Perspectives Journal (2016) in which she was Featured Poet.

She is a lecturer and workshop presenter on Jungian Psychology related topics and will be the keynote speaker in Portland\, Oregon at the Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies (JSSS) Conference\, June 27\, 2018. \nBrockton Hill\, J.D.\, M.A.\, is a Jungian analyst in private practice is Pasadena and West Los Angeles. He is the Immediate Past President of the C.G. Jung Institute of LA.

SUMMARY:Paradise Lost . . . Paradise Regained
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jacob Zighelboim\, M.D. \nRespondent: Robert Moradi\, M.D. \nBy framing humanity’s “fall from grace” in terms of man’s base\, evil-inclined nature we have accepted the idea that it was (still is) our destructive nature that has caused us so much suffering. In this presentation\, we will follow the evolution of our Hebrew ancestors efforts to overcome suffering and regain the paradisiacal life God had intended for us. The talk will also offer a new iteration of the Garden of Eden Story\, one that celebrates rather than condemns our humanity and affirms that we suffer not because we are flawed\, bad individuals\, but because we are human. \nCourse Objectives: \n\nGive two examples of how previous generations attempted to relieve psychological suffering.\nGive an example of what types of behavior and attitude promotes psychological well-being.\nReframe the Garden of Eden story from the perspective of compassion for the flawed aspect of humanity.\nGive an example of why this attitude is critical in psychological development.\n\nJacob Zighelboim\, M.D.\, is a retired physician/scientist and a former professor of Medicine and Microbiology and Immunology at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. In addition to publishing over eighty peer-reviewed articles\, he is co-author of ten books\, focusing primarily on the immunology of cancer.

SUMMARY:Dreams\, Buddhist Theory and Individuation: A Dialog
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Master Dingkong\, Ph.D. \nRespondent(s): Patricia Katsky\, Ph.D.\, Sylvia Xu\, Ph.D. \nDreams have been a part of Buddhist tradition since the dream of the Buddha’s mother\, Queen Maya\, before his birth. In Buddhist theory\, dreams are divided into several types\, but\, generally speaking\, Buddhist custom uses dreams to describe the illusory and ephemeral nature of human existence\, and also to describe human life that has not yet been enlightened. This perspective exists within a larger Buddhist framework that affirms the value of dreams and sometimes offers detailed dream interpretations. Buddhists are willing to focus on dreams to advance their spiritual path. Today’s practitioners continue to record beneficial dream images\, suggesting that dreams can offer meaningful examples of the religious function of the psyche as it occurs in the context of different spiritual traditions. Please join us for a dialog about the place of dreams in Buddhist thought\, with particular emphasis on the Chan Buddhist tradition (the Zen tradition in China). We will consider the place of dreams in this tradition and their possible relationship to the Jungian idea of the Self and the individuation process.  \nCourse Objectives: \n\nExplain the categories of dreams found in Buddhist theory.\nCompare and contrast Buddhist dream theory with a Jungian approach to dreams.\nDescribe the ways that the religious function of the psyche manifests in different cultural contexts.\nRecount culturally sensitive ways of working clinically with analytic clients who come from a Chinese background.\n\n\nMaster Dingkong\, Ph.D. received his Ph.D. from the City University of Macau. His doctorial tutor was Professor Heyong Shen\, a Jungian Analyst. Master is the president of the Institute of Eastern Buddhist Psychology in Fuzhou\, China. He is also Abbot of Jile Temple\, established thirteen hundred years ago during the Tang Dynasty. Master Dingkong is No. 45th Generation Lineage holder of the LinJi Sect of Chan Dharma\, No. 14th Generation Lineage holder of the Yun Men Sect of Chan Dharma\, and No. 46th Generation Lineage holder of the Tian Tai Dharma . In 2001\, Master Dingkong began teaching at the College of Yun Men Buddhism in Guangdong Provence of China\, where\, after serving as Dean of Education\, he became Provost. He remains a Professor at the College of Yun Men Buddhism. His research interests include Buddhist psychology\, Chan practice\, and the religious function of the psyche. \nPatricia Katsky\, Ph.D. is a Jungian analyst and a professor at Pacifica Graduate Institute. \nSylvia Xu\, Ph.D. is an associate professor at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology\, a Router for Jungian analytic training in China and a registered psychotherapist. She is also vice-president of the Institute of Buddhist Psychology in China and a translator.

SUMMARY:Dream Workshop for Men 50 and Older
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Robert Moradi\, M.D. \nOnce we get used to listening to our dreams\, our whole body responds like a musical instrument. –Marion Woodman.  \n  \nDreams after midlife are commonly in the service of helping the dreamer face challenges of aging\, both physical and emotional\, as one grapples with changes in the body\, in one’s relationship to partners\, siblings\, children and grandchildren\, as well as changes in one’s attitude towards work and friendships.  Using dreams presented by group members\, we will analyze and reflect about the possible meanings underlying the images of the dream from a Jungian perspective.  Although personal\, reflecting on each dream is always valuable\, not only in the dreamer but also for those who are witnesses or contributors to the process of understanding the hidden meanings in another person’s dream. \nLearning objectives: \n\nDescribe some of the psychological transitions unique to men in midlife (age 50 and older)\nDescribe Jung’s technique of analyzing dreams as a way of clarifying underlying unconscious conflicts\nGive an example of how a dream can reflect both a personal situation as well as a larger collective concern\nGive an example of how one’s shadow (the unacceptable\, devalued or denied aspects of one’s personality) can be revealed in a dream\nGive an example of a dream which highlights an impending major life transition\n\nRobert Moradi\, M.D.\, is a Jungian analyst at the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice in Santa Monica. He is clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine. Currently\, he teaches and writes on Jungian approaches to clinical practice. \n

SUMMARY:Our Ecological Self:Restoring the Bond between Inner and Outer Nature
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Shanti Mayberry\, HHP\, PhD \nNature is a supreme teacher if you know how to follow Her -C.G. Jung \nRecent studies suggest that reconnecting to nature can increase one’s sense of vitality\, promote a sense of healing\, provide inspiration\, stimulate self- awareness\, decrease pain and stress\, support the individuation process and contribute to the resolution of trauma.  In many ways Jung understood this intuitively\, as he recognized that restoring the broken bond between humans and nature is imperative to both our survival and our sanity.  In this workshop we will discuss the evolutionary intersection of ecological psychology with Jung’s work\, and learn practices which can facilitate our connection to what Jung called our ‘natural’ or ‘primordial’ being. \nLearning objectives \n\nDescribe recent research findings which demonstrate how connecting to nature can help decrease pain and stress and promote psychological well-being\nDescribe what is meant by the term ‘ecopsychology’ and its relationship to current psychological practice\nGive an example of a healing practice that can be taught to patients who are recovering from trauma\n\nShanti Mayberry HHP\, Ph.D.\, is a depth ecopsychologist\, holistic health consultant\, and meditation and movement teacher in private practice in San Diego. A Jungian sandtray therapist for over 20 years\, her background includes work in somatic studies\, feminism\, Eastern spiritual and earth wisdom traditions. Her writing has appeared in several nature publications as well as Psychological Perspectives\, and she is currently completing a book about the ecological paradigm.

SUMMARY:Three Reflections on Sandplay: A Course for Clinicians
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sachiko Taki-Reece\, EdD\, MFT\, Joan Concannon\, MFT\, Debbie Mego\, PhD\, LCSW \n\nA Sandplay Process and the Sonata Form\n\nDebbie Mego\, PhD\, LCSW\nSandplay\, a non-verbal form of psychotherapy in which the client utilizes miniatures to create scenes\, has been found to be especially helpful in working with children as a way of helping them express  feelings and internal conflicts which they may not yet be able to put into language. While the Sandplay process is unique to each individual\, Sandplay therapists have observed the development of a three stage process beginning with exposition\, the development of a theme\, and a recapitulation\, similar to the evolution of a Sonata in classical music\, and which indicates psychological  progression. Using case material\, we will examine some of the ways in which to view progression (or lack of) within the context of Sandplay therapy. \n\nSome Considerations at the Initial Sessions with a Child\n\nSachiko Taki-Reece\, Ed.D.\, M.F.T.\nIn working with children\, it is critical that the therapist also establish a therapeutic    alliance with the parent and/or caretaker\, partly to lessen negative projections onto the child\, and partly to help the parent or caretaker learn to identify and and help the child manage challenging feelings.  In Sandplay the child is able to express through play emotional conflict\, anxiety\, depression\, anger\, grief and deep emotional turmoil by creating various scenes in the sand in silence.  These sand scenes can then be used as a way or mirroring\, expressing\, and communicating what is often not yet available in language.  This seminar will help the therapist to identify Kalff’s stages of ego development as expressed through Sandplay as well as the stages \n\nThe Witch Archetype:\nIts Impact in a Sandplay Case\n\nJoan Concannon\, M.F.T.\nThe figure of the witch in fairy tales symbolizes the dark\, devouring aspect of the   Mother Archetype.  As a figure in Sandplay\, the witch often represents a sense of chaos either internal or external\, which can threaten to overwhelm a more fragile ego.\nDrawing from fairy tales\, clinical material\, including dreams and sandtrays\, this  workshop will demonstrate some of the ways in which the archetype of the witch can unconsciously influence the life of the client as well as challenge the therapeutic process. \n  \nJoan C. Concannon\, M.F.T.\, is Jungian analyst in private practice in Calabasas. She is a teaching member of the C.G. Jung Study Center of Southern California. She has lectured nationally\, interweaving Sandplay with Jungian dream interpretation. Her article\, “Symbolism of the Crow and Raven in Mythology\, Alchemy and Sandplay” was published in the Journal of Sandplay Therapy\, 2015. \nDebbie Mego\, Ph.D.\, L.C.S.W.\, is in private practice in West Los Angeles where she offers Sandplay supervision and works with adults\, specializing in the treatment of depression\,  anxiety\, post traumatic stress disorder\, life transitions\, cross-cultural and adoption issues. She currently serves as Co-Coordinator of the Sandplay Community of Los Angeles. Her work has been published in the Journal of Sandplay Therapy. Debbie has a background as a classical pianist\, and also works with people in the arts\, using Sandplay as a tool in helping overcome creative blocks. \nSachiko Taki-Reece\, Ed.D.\, M.F.T.\, is a Jungian Analyst\, in private practice in Silver Lake where she also offers supervision. A member of the teaching faculty at the C. G Jung Institute of LA\, she has published several research articles on Sandplay\, as well as book chapters in both English and Japanese.

Jung\, CW 16. \nJung’s prescient grasp of the relational aspect of psyches  resonates with contemporary notions of bidirectional influence in psychotherapy. In this talk we will examine the role of Complex Adaptive Systems Theory (CAS)\, fundamental to infant research\, as a model for furthering the process of individuation. We will look at some of the ways that individuation unfolds in the context of a relationship between two people\, both in adult clinical interactions in the consulting room\, as well as in the developing artistic exchange between Matisse and Picasso. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDescribe the basic principles of Complex Adaptive Systems Theory in the context of the therapeutic relationship.\nDescribe what is meant by the term bidirectionality\, and its use in psychotherapy.\n\nLinda Carter\, M.S.N.\, C.S.\, is a Jungian analyst who was in private practice in Boston\, Massachusetts and in Providence\, Rhode Island for more than 30 years. Currently\, she practices in California and teaches at Pacifica Graduate Institute. She is a graduate of Georgetown and Yale universities and has been in practice for close to 40 years seeing children\, adolescents and adults. For five years she was the US Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Analytical Psychology. Linda is a co-editor of Analytical Psychology\, Contemporary Perspectives in Jungian Analysis and co-author of a chapter in that book called “Analytic Methods.” She has written numerous articles and book chapters and taught and presented her work all over the world. \n

SUMMARY:A Psychological Perspectives Event: The Psychoid Archetype in Erotic Transference
DESCRIPTION:Presented by J. Gary Sparks\, M.A.\, M.Div.  \nContinuing our investigation of the  archetypal basis of experience\, this workshop will describe the role of Jung’s final conception of the archetype\, and its relationship to the analytic process. Using case material\, we will examine the role of the psychoid aspect of the unconscious in the healing process of a patient with anorexia nervosa. Utilizing the patient’s dreams\, including their alchemical symbolism\, as well as the erotic aspects of the transference\, we will look at the interplay of the mind-body connection in the context of the therapeutic relationship. \nLearning Objectives:   \n\nDescribe what is meant by the psychoid archetype.\nGive an example of how the psychoic archetype is manifested in a patient dealing with anorexia.\nDescribe what is meant by alchemical symbolism.\nDescribe the stages of alchemy and their psychological parallel as they pertain to the therapeutic experience.\nDescribe what is meant by the erotic aspect of the transference.\nGive an example of how the erotic transference can manifest in a patient with anorexia and how to work with this material in a way which leads to psychological integration.\n\nJ. Gary Sparks\, M.A.\, M.Div.\,  is a 1982 Diploma graduate of the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich and maintains an analytic practice in Indianapolis.  He is the author of At the Heart of Matter: Synchronicity and Jung’s Spiritual Testament\, Valley of Diamonds: Adventures in Number and Time with Marie-Louise von Franz\, and Carl Jung and Arnold Toynbee: The Social Meaning of Inner Work.  In his spare time\, Gary likes bicycling\, cooking with garlic\, and anything Mediterranean. \n

SUMMARY:Introduction to Chassidic Psychology
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rabbi Tal Sessler\, Ph.D. \nChassidism is a profound and systemic all-embracing life-philosophy\, which provides a deep psycho-spiritual lens through which to view and experience the human condition. Through the use of archetypes and symbolic language\, it suggests a way of reading and understanding the Torah as a psychological journey of the individual soul\, from alienation and physicality to ecstatic joy\, and an eternal perspective on the enigma and sheer wonder of being. In this talk we will examine some of the ways in which the Chassidic masters understood the human predicament\, and the road that they offered towards spiritual and psychological redemption. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe Chassidism from a psychological perspective.\nGive an example of how the Chassidic masters understood the psychological issues of their day\, and the relevance of this approach to current psychological practice.\n\nRabbi Tal Sessler\, Ph.D.\, has taught at the New School for Social Research in New York\, and is the author of three books in continental philosophy and modern Jewish identity\, including Levinas and Camus: Humanism for the 21st Century and Leibowitz and Levinas: Between Judaism & Universalism.  \n

SUMMARY:The Ford/Kavanaugh Complex: Trauma and Soul in American Culture
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Steven Galipeau\, M.A.\, M.Div.  \nThe Christine Ford testimony to the Senate and Brett Kavanaugh’s response gives us a close look at a critical cultural complex in our country.  This complex limits the ability to hear the pain and suffering of people\, be it women\, Native Americans\, African Americans\, and other marginalized individuals and groups. This ignorance and lack of empathy then gives “privilege” to those who might nor really deserve it.  A review of the testimony of these two people will serve as a starting point to look at his complex in a broader sense\, including gun violence\, corporate abuse\, and other regularly repeating cultural events that cause significant trauma. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify cultural attitudes which preclude empathetic and compassionate responses to individual and collective trauma;\nExamine attitudes that can facilitate more reconciliation when such defensive dynamics become activated.\n\nSteven Galipeau\, M.A.\, M.Div. is a Jungian Analyst in private practice in Woodland Hills\, California and President and Executive Director of Coldwater Counseling Center in Studio City\, a Jungian oriented sliding scale nonprofit. Steve is the author of Transforming Body and Soul: Therapeutic Wisdom in the Gospel Healing Stories and The Journey of Luke Skywalker: An Analysis of Modern Myth and Symbol as well as articles and reviews on a variety of topics related to Analytical Psychology. He is a frequent lecturer for Pubic Programs. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Living Life More Fully in the Shadow of Mortality
DESCRIPTION:Online Registration for this event has ended. Tickets will still be available at the door.\nPresented by James Hollis\, Ph.D.  \nJung observed that “life is a short pause between two mysteries.” That fact is not in debate; what does matter\, then\, is how we live that short pause. Given that mortality frames our brief journey\, our focus will be on the attitudes and practices which enable us to live more fully\, particularly when dealing with issues such as depression\, anxiety\, trauma\, grief\, loss\, and physical illness. We will examine the role of  psychological maturation as a way of making meaning of our lives. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the role of attitude when dealing with physical illness\, depression\, and anxiety\nGive an example of  psychological practices which are beneficial to patients dealing with physical illness\, depression\, and anxiety\n\n  \n Living an Examined Life:\nWisdom for the Second Half of the Journey\nby James Hollis\n \n$15.95\nBuy Now \n  \n  \nJames Hollis\, Ph.

SUMMARY:Taking Your Life Back:  Steps to the Recovery of a Personal Journey
DESCRIPTION:Online Registration for this event has ended. Tickets will still be available at the door.\nPresented by James Hollis\, Ph.D.  \nTiny\, dependent\, and at the mercy of the world around us\, we all have to adapt\, adjust\, bury\, deny\, split-off and repress\, and thereby lose contact with our own sovereignty and natural source of guidance. The core focus of the second half of life\, is the recovery of that source. In this workshop we will focus on the steps that can help us to identify the affects\,\, attitudes\, and belief systems that can   interfere both in our relationships with others\, as well as towards ourselves\, thus leading to a greater sense of integration of the parts of the personality we have sought to mute. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how the defenses of denial\, splitting\, and repression contribute to a weakened ego and sense of self\nGive an example of how the dismantling of a defensive structure can contribute towards a sense of integration\nGive an example of a maladaptive defensive structure\nDescribe what is meant by an overly adaptive personality structure and why this defense often stops functioning in mid-life\n\n  \n Living an Examined Life:\nWisdom for the Second Half of the Journey\nby James Hollis\n \n$15.95\nBuy Now \n  \n  \nJames Hollis\, Ph.

SUMMARY:Between Esotericism and Psychology:Runes\, Magic and the Mysteries in Jung’s Liber Novus
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sonu Shamdasani\, Ph.D. \nFrom 1913 onwards\, in the course of his self-experimentation\, Jung crafted a self-styled practice of the imagination and engaged with magic and Hermeticism in a syncretic manner. He came to conceive of his experiences as an initiation into the mysteries\, which he sought to generalize as the individuation process. This talk reconstructs the parallel genesis of this esoteric private cosmology and exoteric psychology and their interrelations. \nSonu Shamdasani\, Ph.D.\, is a London-based author\, editor\, and Philemon Professor of Jung History at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University College. Shamdasani’s writings focus on Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961)\, and cover the history of psychiatry and psychology from the mid-nineteenth century to current times. He edited for its initial publication a major work of Jung: The Red Book. Although well known by its title\, until 2009 its contents had remained hidden from the public and from practicing psychotherapists. In 2003 Shamdasani founded\, along with Stephen Martin\, the Philemon Foundation\, which sought to publish all of Jung’s works. Although Jung’s Collected Works had been published in twenty volumes\, there were manuscripts and other works by Jung that remained unpublished. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Edith Sullwold Memorial LectureThe Childhood of the Biblical God: The Underpinnings of the Yahweh Complex in Human Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Gellert\, M.A.\, L.C.S.W.  \nThe degree of character flexibility\, the ability to open oneself to the outside world or to close oneself to it\, depending on the situation\, constitutes the difference between a reality-oriented and a neurotic character structure. – Wilhelm Reich \nThis presentation will focus on the profound disappointments and suffering that the biblical God encountered on his evolution toward greater consciousness. We will explore how these contributed toward his PTSD and other clinical and existential afflictions as illustrated in the Hebrew Bible. We will also discuss what it means historically and for us today that the God of Western and Islamic civilization suffered from these conditions. Special attention will be given to what Jung\, among others\, has called the “Yahweh complex\,” a cluster of clinical features including narcissistic grandiosity and self-centeredness\, fits of rage\, and empathic failure.  Our approach to God will be as a figure of the religious imagination rather than as a representation of an objective Godhead. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how the story of the Abrahamic God mirrors the evolution of our human experience of God from a personal and symbolic perspective.\nDescribe from a historical and cultural perspective the idea that the God of Western and Islamic civilization suffered psychologically from PTSD.\nDescribe what is meant by a Yahweh complex\, and give examples of how this would manifest in clinical practice.\n\n The Divine Mind\nBy Micheal Gellert\n$26.00\nBuy Now \n  \n  \n  \nMichael Gellert\, M.A.\, L.C.S.W. is a Jungian analyst practicing in Los Angeles and Pasadena\, California and former Director of Training of the C.

SUMMARY:Facing the Other: Women and the Search for Soul
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Pamela Freundl Kirst\, Ph.D. \nThe “Other” is said to be a bridge to the unconscious\, a pathway to the deepest core of the self.  Jungian Psychology traditionally uses the term animus—identified as the inner masculine—to identify the “Other” within a woman’s psyche. Do such traditionally gendered ideas remain useful in our current age? How do we help our clients create a vital connection to the “Other” given the shifts and splits alive within today’s culture? Most importantly\, how do we understand and facilitate our clients’—particularly\, but not only\, our women clients’—relationship to a deeply felt\, individual sense of self so that each may live a more authentic\, meaningful life?  This lecture will explore these questions and their implications for individuation\, with particular attention to working with women clients. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nIdentify and describe what is meant by the “Internal Other” as it is used in Jungian Psychology;\nExplain how traditional\, gendered ideas have hampered our psychological understanding of women and their development\, and identify a way these concepts may be modified to bring them into line with current cultural understanding;\nIdentify a way to facilitate the relationship between a client and the internal “Other”\, and explain how building this relationship may enable a client to strengthen their connection to a core sense of self\, expanding psychological development.\n\nPamela Freundl Kirst\, Ph.D.\, is a certified Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist who practices in Santa Monica. She is a writer and photographer and is particularly interested in the creative process and issues connected to the archetypal mother.

SUMMARY:Encountering The Shadow In Our Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michal Aizenman\, L.P.C.C.  \n“How little know we what we are\nHow less what we may be” – Anne Brontë     \nIn this theoretical and experiential workshop participants will have the opportunity to practice Jung’s approach to dream work\, utilizing his concepts of active imagination\, amplification\, psychic energy\, and the shadow. We will examine some of the similarities and differences between Jung and Freud’s approach to the unconscious especially as it pertains to working with dreams.  As we analyze the dream\, we will focus on the function of the shadow in dreams\, as a way of integrating aspects of the personality that are often evacuated\, projected outward\, devalued\, or dismissed because they are found to be too disruptive to the preservation of an overly adaptive ego. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe what is meant by the term active imagination and how it is used in psychotherapy;\nDescribe what is meant by the term amplification and how it is utilized in psychotherapy;\nDescribe what is meant by the term shadow in Jungian theory and practice;\nGive an example of how the shadow manifests in dreams;\nDescribe some of the clinical difficulties in working with a patient with an overly adaptive ego;\nDescribe how dream work can be of value in working with a patient with an overly adaptive ego.\n\nMichal Aizenman\, L.P.C.C.\, is a Jungian analyst in private practice in West Los Angeles. She trained as a clinical psychologist and Jungian analyst in Israel\, where she worked in psychiatric hospitals\, out-patient clinics and the military\, in addition to her private practice. She has taught at Dartmouth College and at UCSC\, and is currently teaching through the UCLA Extension Program as well as the Jung Institute in Los Angeles. Michal’s current interests are dreams and neuroscience. Michal teaches and lectures regularly on dreams and dreaming. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Myth of the New World
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Deborah O’Grady and Melinda Haas\, L.C.S.W. \nUnderneath the sense of hope and expansiveness in the New World is a shadow that has been there from its first colonization to the present moment. Dvořák set out to find and compose “American music.” What he created is a collage\, suggestions of the hope of immigrants in the boundless space; the presence of slavery; the treatment of Native Americans; the pristine beauty of the natural resources. Even more poignant today\, we hear this music with all its shadows fully in the light. \nThis presentation will offer an exploration of Dvořák’s signature work\, Symphony No. 9\, “New World\,” through the lens of myth as part of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Ives/Dvořák festival. Maestro Gustavo Dudamel will lead performances of the piece on February 27-29\, 2020 at Walt Disney Concert Hall. \nThis program will be held at the Jung Institute.

SUMMARY:Mandalas in Sandplay: A Cultural Perspective-ONLINE CLASS-Pacific Daylight Time
DESCRIPTION:Jill Kaplan\, M.A.\, M.F.T.  \nThis online\, interactive seminar will focus on the mandala which appears in many cultures as a unifying\, symbolic image. Similarly\, in sandplay we may see it arise when a patient is struggling to contain or find a relationship to opposites or opposing emotional experiences. Drawing from Jung’s concept of the transcendent function\, we will see from a case example how the symbolic aspect of sandplay therapy can help to facilitate a transition from a more rigid psychological attitude towards the development of a more flexible and resilient ego. Participants will have the opportunity to create images of the Self as a means of integrating and applying these concepts to clinical material. \nLearning objectives:  \n\nGive an example of how the tension of the opposites can be seen in sandplay clinical material;\nDescribe what is meant by the transcendent function and its role in psychological change;\nDescribe the cross-cultural significance of the mandala symbol from a psychological perspective;\nDescribe the technique of Sandplay therapy and its application to psychotherapy.\n\nJill Kaplan\, M.A.\, M.F.T. has worked with children and families for over 40 years and holds masters’ degrees in early childhood education and counseling psychology. She is a certified sandplay therapist and teacher\, and has also trained in relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy. She has practiced Zen meditation for over 25 years\, and has been recognized as a teacher of Zen since 2013. She has published several articles in the Journal of Sandplay Therapy\, several of them on Buddhism and sandplay therapy\, and is currently book reviews editor of the Journal. Jill is a past president of the STA board of trustees. She works with children and adults in private practice in San Jose\, California\, and teaches and consults on sandplay nationally and internationally. \nPLEASE NOTE THAT THE TIME IS PACIFIC DAYLIGHT TIME.

SUMMARY:The Gilgamesh Epic: How an Ancient Myth  Reflects Splits in our Culture
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Steven Galipeau\, M.A.\, M.Div. \nThe Gilgamesh Epic is the oldest story in the world but for over two thousand years all traces of it were lost.  As various fragments have been uncovered since 1850\, scholars and poets have been drawn to understand and elucidate this tale. Using some more recent translations we will study this tale in light of our current cultural splits (profoundly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic)\, especially our disassociation from nature\, to reflect on the archetypal underpinnings of our time and where they may be leading us. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDescribe factors which contribute to the development of defensive structures such as splitting and dissociation on a personal level\, and ways of addressing these in psychotherapy;\nDescribe factors which contribute to the development of defensive structures such as splitting and dissociation from a cultural perspective\, and give an example from contemporary culture;\nIdentify when “heroic” attitudes are in the service of adaptation vs situations in which they can become self-destructive.\n\nSteven Galipeau\, M.A.\, M.Div.\, is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Woodland Hills\, and President and Executive Director of Coldwater Counseling Center in Studio City\, a Jungian oriented sliding scale nonprofit. Steve is the author of Transforming Body and Soul: Therapeutic Wisdom in the Gospel Healing Stories and The Journey of Luke Skywalker: An Analysis of Modern Myth and Symbol as well as articles and reviews on a variety of topics related to analytical psychology. He is a frequent lecturer for Public Programs.

SUMMARY:Pandemic: A Collective Nightmare or a Wake-Up Call?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Robert Moradi\, M.D. \nPsychologically nightmares are viewed as the eruption of a fierce conflict between instinct and will within the psyche of an individual.  They are understood as an attempt by the psyche to protect its own container (the body and soul) when the psyche experiences itself in danger of fragmentation or irreparable damage.  Similarly a pandemic can be viewed as a warning about life on earth when the planet itself is in danger of irreversible damage.  In both situations\, the individual and the collective\, the conscious participation of the ego is required in order to re-establish harmony and health. For the first time in modern history\, we are facing a pandemic that threatens the entire planet\, and which has awoken us to the fact that we are one race\, the human race. Our survival depends not only on our ability to work together\, but also to begin to address the myriad of ways in which we have abandoned our planet in order to further our own sensibilities. Like all nightmares\, the pandemic carries the same message\, that something needs to change fundamentally and urgently.  Please join us in a discussion of the symbolic and psychological aspects of the pandemic and the ways in which it is affecting us on a conscious as well as unconscious level\, as the ego struggles to integrate the unbearable and unimaginable sense of chaos that it engenders\, as well as a renewed sense of hope and faith of the human spirit as we confront this unwelcome visitor and agent of transformation. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDescribe some of the primary psychological effects of the pandemic in terms of a sense of fragmentation\, loss of structure\, uncertainty\, and destabilization;\nDescribe the emotional effects of quarantining and its effect on psychological health;\nDescribe the symbolic aspect of the pandemic from the standpoint of an internal initiatory process in which the stages of separation\, ordeal\, and return can be experienced from a personal as well as collective perspective\n\nRobert Moradi\, M.D.\, is a Jungian analyst at the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice in Santa Monica. He is a clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine. Currently\, he teaches and writes on Jungian approaches to clinical practice.

SUMMARY:The Clinical is Cultural\, The Cultural is Clinical: Black Women Depth Psychologists on the Evolution of Clinical Practice
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sharon D. Johnson\, Ph.D.; Sherrie Sims Allen\, Ph.D.; Marcella De Veaux\, Ph.D.; Kim Howell\, Ph.D.; Patricia Taylor\, Ph.D. \nSaturday\, October 31\, 2020; 10:00 am-1:00 Pacific Time. \nPsychotherapist Philip Cushman’s text\, Constructing the Self\, Constructing America: A Cultural History of Psychotherapy\, sought to highlight the social-cultural placement of clinical practice in the United States\, yet it overlooked the ubiquitous presence of anti-Black racism and oppression since the nation’s inception and the bias toward Eurocentric clinical practice. The National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine contains numerous research articles about Black citizens’ distrust of medical interactions including clinical mental health services. This seminar will focus on the work of five African American depth psychologists as introduced in the book\, Seeing in the Dark: Wisdom Works by Black Women in Depth Psychology\, why it disrupts a hegemony and hierarchy that privileges clinical work above cultural work\, how it addresses the void left by clinical work that excludes specific cultural knowledge and experience of non-clinical Black women psychologists\, and how greater inclusion of this work can help the evolution of clinical practice today. \nLearning objectives: \n\nIdentify and describe racial biases and how these affect clinical training and practice.\nIdentify and describe areas of clinical practice where specific cultural knowledge is presumed or lacking.\nGive examples of Black non-clinical practices that have been appropriated and institutionalized into clinical settings.\nCompare cases where Black non-clinical practitioners have more effectively met patients’ needs than clinicians.\n\n \nSeeing in the Dark: Wisdom Works by Black Women in Depth Psychology\nEdited by Sharon D. Johnson\, Ph.D.\n$14.95 \nBuy Now Through Our Institute Bookstore \n  \n  \n  \nSharon D. Johnson\, Ph.D. is a screenwriter and dream educator who has lectured on the topic at UCLA’s OLLI program and the critically noted community organization\, Black Women for Wellness. She presented her original research\, Sisters of Sakhu: Does Dream Work Affect Black Women’s Mental Well-Being\, at the Association for Women in Psychology’s (AWP) 50th-anniversary conference in 2019. She is a consultant to the award-winning organization\, Alchemy\, Inc. Her chapter\, “Conscious Daughters: Psychological Migration\, Individuation\, and the Declaration of Black Female Identity in Daughters of the Dust” is included in the forthcoming anthology\, Teaching Daughters of the Dust as a Womanist Film and the Black Arts Aesthetic of Filmmaker Julie Dash (Peter Lang). \nSherrie Sims Allen\, Ph.D. is a practitioner of the Myers Briggs Topology Instrument (MBTI)\, which she and her husband\, Dr. Melvin Allen\, utilize in their nationally presented relationship seminars and workshops for couples and singles. Her approach affirms that when relationships work\, families work; when families work\, communities work\, and when communities work\, the world works. Her work focuses on exploring the cultural wounds of racism\, sexism\, feelings of invisibility\, and women and rage. She has made presentations at both the Society of Humanistic Psychology and the Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies conferences. \nMarcella “Marcy” De Veaux\, Ph.D. is Associate Director of Faculty Development and a tenured Professor for the Department of Journalism at California State University\, Northridge\, where her work includes facilitating workshops on unconscious bias\, diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and cultural competencies. She also has decades of experience in entertainment public relations\, diversity best practices\, and coaching.

She co-edited Pacifica Graduate Institute: An Alumni Tribute to 40 Years of Tending Soul in and of the World. \nKimberly Howell\, Ph.D. is a body positive activist and diversity educator who uses mindfulness techniques with both individual and corporate clients. Her doctoral dissertation entitled\, Peek-A- Boo! I See You: Capturing the Story and Image of Invisible Beauty in Los Angeles highlights the celebrity culture of Los Angeles and how place affects both psyche and soma. Dr. Howell has spoken internationally on topics such as feminist consumerism as well as engaging depth psychological practices in corporate learning environments. \nPatricia Taylor\, Ph.D. is the Chairperson for Special Education Programs in the LaFetra College of Education at the University of LaVerne\, as well as founder and Co-Chair of the university’s Center for Neurodiversity\, Learning\, and Wellness. Her work centers assisting learners who learn in atypical ways to find their ways of knowing and learning first by acknowledging their unique gifts and then by figuring out how to honor and share those gifts. This work has led her to the unveiling of the original meaning of the idea of enough in the western lexicon\, and to a deep appreciation of what she calls word stories and how words\, as Michael Meade states\, are merely condensed stories waiting to be told.

SUMMARY:"Pantheon of Paradoxes": Archetypal Imagery in the Ancient Egyptian Pantheon
DESCRIPTION:Jacqueline Thurston\, M.A. \nFriday\, November 20\, 2020; 7:30-9:30 pm Pacific Time. \nJung’s understanding of synchronicity\, the intersection between the inner world of dreams and the imagination and the outer physical world\, and his exploration of cultural and personal archetypal imagery both inform and guide this presentation. \nDrawing from images from Thurston’s book Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt\, we will examine the archetypal nature of the divine feminine and the divine masculine\, with attention to the presence of dualities and opposites contained within a single deity\, and to the role paradox plays in the dynamic relationships between individual deities. We will explore how the vicissitudes of nature\, such as our current pandemic\, shaped the very essence of the gods of ancient Egypt. Our contemporary interest in gender and identity makes the exploration of attributes of both feminine and masculine deities in the ancient Egyptian pantheon both intriguing\, informative\, and relevant. \nJacqueline Thurston\, M.A.\, is an artist\, writer and Professor Emerita in the School of Art and Design at San Jose State University\, where she taught for over forty years.  She is twice a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Photography Fellowship and a Fulbright Scholar to Egypt. In 2017\, her first book of art was purchased by the Library of Congress for their Rare Book Collection. Thurston’s photographs are in major national and international museum collections\, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Library of Congress; the International Museum of Photography; the Carnegie Museum of Art; the Albright-Knox Museum; the Cantor Museum; the University of New Mexico Museum of Art; the Center for Pho­tography at Arizona University; the Bibliothèque Nationale\, France; and the Bibliothèque Alexandria\, Egypt.

SUMMARY:Living Between Worlds:  Finding a Center in Turbulent Hours
DESCRIPTION:Presented by James Hollis\, Ph.D. \nSaturday\, November 14\, 2020; 9:00 am-12:00 pm Pacific Time. \nWandering between two worlds\, one dead\, The other powerless to be born …  –  (Matthew Arnold\, 1885) \nAs individuals\, we often find ourselves in in-between times\, somewhere between a world we knew\, and a world that has not yet emerged. These times are hours of crisis\, disorientation\, loss\, and enormous anxiety.  Similarly\, cultures\, eras\, civilizations go through in-between times.   Ours is such a moment in history.    How can we recover our bearings\, sustain dignity and integrity when things fall apart?   What abides amid such discontinuity?   Together we will reflect on what we may do to recover a sense of personal autonomy when our road map whirls from our grasp and leaves us confounded. \nLearning objectives: \n\nDescribe  the current cultural crisis and upheaval in the US and the world\, and how it contributes to a patient’s anxiety and stress;\nDescribe how to differentiate patient’s symptomatic patterns from core defense mechanisms and areas of strength;\nDescribe ways of helping patients re-frame their experience as a way of making their psychological symptoms more manageable.\n\nJames Hollis\, Ph.

SUMMARY:Notebooks of Transformation: Introducing Jung’s Black Books
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sonu Shamdasani\, Ph.D. \nThe recently published Black Books\, a series of personal journals written between 1913-1932\, represent Jung’s explorations of the visionary imagination through writing and painting and include both reflections on his own psychological development\, as well as the evolution of his theory of analytical psychology. The material from 1916 to 1932 highlights some of the insights he gained from analyzing his own life\, such as the triangular relationship between himself and Emma Jung and Toni Wolff.  In this presentation\, we will examine how Jung used his personal observations as well as his encounters with the unconscious as a means of understanding and relating to his patients from a depth perspective. \nLearning objectives: \n\nDescribe The Black Books and their relevance to the development of analytical psychology from a theoretical and clinical perspective.\nDescribe how Jung utilized his own experience with triangulation and applied this concept to his work with patients.\n\nSonu Shamdasani is Professor in Jung History in the School of European Languages\, Culture and Society (German) at University College London\, and Vice-Dean (International) of the Arts and Humanities Faculty. He is the co-director of the UCL Health Humanities Centre. He is the General Editor of the Philemon Foundation. He is the author and editor of a dozen books that have been translated into many languages. Most recently\, he co-edited Medical Humanity and Inhumanity in the German-Speaking World (UCL Press\, 2020\, open access) and Exploring Transcultural Histories of Psychotherapies (Routledge\, 2019). \nhttps://philemonfoundation.org/published-works/black-books/ \n  \n \n  \nOrder your copy of The Black Books through the C.G.

SUMMARY:The Janus-faced archivist: Reflections on 4500 colorful pictures sleeping in grey boxes.
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ruth Ammann \nThe picture archive of the C. G. Jung Institute Zürich/Küsnacht contains nearly 4\,500 original works by Jung’s patients from 1917-1955\, and another 6\,000 works of patients from the collection of Jolande Jacobi.  Jung frequently asked his patients to paint and draw their inner images as he himself did\, as a means of amplifying unconscious material\, a technique which he called Active Imagination. \nThis unique collection offers an opportunity to study the evolution of an analytic process from numerous patients over the course of decades. Until recently\, these images “slept in grey boxes”\, hidden away.  In this talk\, the archivist of this unique collection will offer an overview of the Archive including her reflections on the meaning and effect of painting in the context of the analytic process.  A case study will be used to illustrate how psychological growth and development are evidenced in a progression of paintings by one patient. \n\nLearning Objectives:\n\nDescribe Jung’s technique of active imagination and its role in the practice of psychotherapy;\nGive an example of how painting as a form of active imagination can be incorporated as a part of psychotherapeutic work;\nUsing the example presented in the seminar\, describe the evolution of the analytic process in light of the progression of their paintings.\n\nPLEASE READ BEFORE THE CLASS: Letter to Mr. O. (4 pages)        \n\n\n\nRuth Ammann is a Jungian analyst and architect in private practice in Zürich\, Switzerland.  She is on the faculty of the Jung Institute in Küsnacht\, where she serves as a training analyst\, supervisor\, and sandplay therapist.  In addition to serving as the past-President of ISST (International Society for Sandplay Therapy) she is currently the curator of the C.
