Ethics Workshop for Candidates
We are looking forward to meeting with you all for the Ethics Seminar. As in the past, this
seminar will grant 6 CEUs, but we have changed the format to 4 hours of seminar and two
hours of reading and preparation.
Please read the attached article in a recent JAP by Marco Heleno Barreto, "The ethical
dimension of analytical psychology". This will be the key reference article for the various
discussions we will have concerning ethical and clinical material. Please arrive prepared to
begin at 10:30 and feel free to arrive earlier from 10 to settle in and have breakfast. We will
have short breaks for snacks, so please bring something if you want more than our brunch
spread - cheese, bagels, cookies, coffee, and hardboiled eggs.
We estimate the paper will take 1:30 minutes to read, and we estimate 30 minutes to write up
your thoughts and answers. You do not have to format or type your answers; the important
thing is that it stimulates your thinking and clarifies your questions for the seminar. Please bring
your notes to the seminar so that we can complete the CEU certification. This is not graded but
it is reviewed as part of the CEU certification. Please choose any two or more of the following
questions to prepare your thoughts for the seminar:
1. Using this article, please prepare your thoughts on ethics based on individuation and
the realization of the Self. Do you see challenges in the current zeitgeist for Jung’s view
of ethics?
2. Does the article stimulate your thoughts on how you use ethics as a tool for
individuation in your practice?
3. Describe clinical experiences that either confirm or deny Barreto’s statement: “Jung
thinks that individuation inevitably brings about a rupture with the collectivity to which
the individuating subject belongs and from which he/she departed exactly by virtue of
the process of individuation.”
4. Dissociation is described as "a counterfeit that distorts and corrupts genuine intellectual
understanding". How do you see this interrupting the process of developing a moral
conscience?
5. “Individuation as a 'moral achievement' presupposes the ability to endure considerable
suffering: the moral and existential laceration of uncertainty in practical dilemmas, the
acknowledgement of the possible illusion lurking in our dearest convictions, a
disposition to accept self-sacrifice, and the guilt of individuation". How is this relevant or
not relevant in your clinical practice?
6. How does Jung distinguish "moral code" from "moral consciousness?"

Jungian Sandplay: The Importance of Being and Silence in Child Analysis
Presented by Maria Ellen Chiaia, Ph.D. Drawing from clinical and theoretical material, we will focus on the importance of being and the role of silence in analytic work with children. As the child tells his or her story through play and interaction with the therapist, we in turn imagine and empathize with the child in their world and in the wordless spaces between us. This capacity to be with the child's emotional experience without verbal interpretation, allows children the freedom to express their thoughts and feelings without impingement, so that a liminal space may be created for healing and transformation.

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.

ZOOM ONLY: For Clinicians Only:
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.

In-Person + Zoom: For Clinicians Only:
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.
In-Person + Zoom:
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.
