Continuing Education Courses — Fall 2010
The C.G. Jung Foundation Continuing Education courses are five-week courses designed to be informative and stimulating both to the general public and to professionals. Our program offers you the opportunity to study and explore analytical psychology, the works of C.G. Jung, and fields of related interest.
Fall I: Classes begin the week of September 23, 2010
Basic Concepts of Analytical Psychology, Part 1
5 consecutive Thursdays, 6:00 – 7:40 pm.
Beginning September 23 , 2010
Instructor: Armin Wanner, STL
This course will introduce the basic principles of the psychology of C.G. Jung: consciousness, the personal unconscious, symbols, dreams, archetype, ego, persona, shadow, anima/animus, the Self, and individuation. Readings, lectures, and group discussion will lead participants toward an understanding of these concepts.
Active Imagination Using Paints
5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8:10 pm.
Beginning September 29, 2010
Instructor: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW, LP
Active imagination helps us to talk with the unconscious: it requires a confrontation between two distinct agents in the psyche. The unconscious produces images; consciousness responds to these images with feeling and tries to understand their meaning. Painting allows us to express vivid, unconscious images. We will read Jung and von Franz on active imagination and then work with paints and explore the resulting images. If you have never used paints since grade school, so much the better! (Fee for materials: add $10 to tuition fee.)
Jung's Imaginal Peregrinations, Parts 1 and 2 — 2 Courses
These courses will be held at 420 East 51st Street, Suite C, New York, NY 10022.
Please note that separate tuition is required for each course.
Instructor: Sylvester Wojtkowski, PhD
Jung's Imaginal Peregrinations, Part 1: Fall I
5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8:10 pm.
Beginning September 29, 2010
Jung's Imaginal Peregrinations, Part 2: Fall II
5 Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8:10 pm.
Beginning November 03, 2010 (excluding November 24, 2010)
Soul Figure: Do you love me?
Jung: By God, I love you — but — unfortunately I am already married.
— The Red Book, p. 263.
The other is bound with evil, therefore people hate to accept their own other.
— The Red Book, p. 264.
After the initiation by the spirit of the depths into the Mysterium, Jung invented active imagination. This forceful, terrifying initiation into psychic reality constitutes the Liber Primus of the Red Book. Reluctantly, going through this painful ordeal Jung learns to accept reality and autonomy of his soul and realizes that "man belongs not only to an ordered world" but also to the "wonder-world of his soul." In the Liber Secundus, Jung continues his imaginal journey into the unknown world of his soul, this time without guidance. He refines his imaginal sensibility through interactions and dialogues with imaginal others and develops core notions of his unique psychology project.
Our exploration of his travels will be no more than an initial draft, providing our own, necessarily partial appreciation of his erring way. Aware of our limited resources, true to the spirit of failure that marks the death of the hero, we will attempt to engage this complex, multilayered narrative and its rich visual accompaniment. We will traverse this complex psychic landscape and reflect on implications of Jung's explorations for our times. This subject is offered as two courses with separate registrations.
Depth Psychology and Self-Knowledge
5 consecutive Mondays, 6:30 – 8:10 pm.
Beginning October 04, 2010
Instructor: Royce Froehlich, MA, MDiv, LCSW-R
Taking its title from a set of remarks by Jung, made in 1943, the theme of this class is Analytical Psychology's contribution to understanding the process of coming to know oneself, or as Jung called it: Individuation. Following Jung's own thoughts on Self-Knowledge through his writings on the subject will anchor the course, and comparisons to other individuation models will situate Jung in the history of Gnosis: knowledge of the self.
(Fee for materials: add $5 to tuition fee.)
Fall II: Classes begin the week of November 3, 2010
Invisible Partners:
Fairy Tales of the Anima and Animus
5 Wednesdays 6:30 – 8:10 pm. (Excluding November 24, 2010)
Beginning November 03, 2010
Instructor: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW, LP
When a woman has a crush on a man, she is partly fascinated by her own unconscious masculine potential (animus). A man may likewise be fascinated by his own unconscious feminine potential (anima). This fascination may draw a couple into relationship, but the animus and anima tend to remain unconscious. As long as each is unconscious, each tends to be destructive. With a struggle, we can become more conscious of our own animus or anima. Consciousness leads to an inner relationship (with the animus or anima) which is the source of creativity. That inner relationship also makes it easier to have relationships in the outer world. We will read five fairy tales about the animus (anima), and analyze them together. We will see that apparently simple fairy tales may contain astute psychological insight. You can expect to gain some new consciousness of your own relationship to the contrasexual archetype. Analysis of fairy tales will also give you practice in symbolic thought, which is necessary for analyzing dreams.
Jung's Imaginal Peregrinations, Part 2
5 Wednesdays 6:30 – 8:10 pm.
(Excluding Wednesday, November 24, 2010)
Beginning November 03, 2010
This course will be held at:
420 East 51st Street, Suite C, New York, NY 10022
Instructor: Sylvester Wojtkowski, PhD
This is a continuation of Part 1.
Please refer to the class description in Fall 1.
Basic Concepts os Analytical Psychology, Part 2
5 Thursdays, 6:00 – 7:40 pm.
Beginning November 04, 2010 (excluding November 25, 2010)
Instructor: Armin Wanner, STL
This course is a continuation of Basic Concepts of Analytical Psychology. Through lecture and discussion, participants will gain a deeper understanding of selected principles first introduced in the basic course, as well as explore concepts not yet covered, such as synchronicity, alchemy, and active imagination.
My God, Why have you forsaken me?
5 Thursdays, 7:90 – 8:40 pm.
Beginning November 04, 2010 (excluding November 25, 2010)
This course will be held at:
7 West 96th Street, #1E, New York, NY 10025
Instructor: Harry W. Fogarty, PhD
Drawing upon Jung's Answer to Job as a foundational text, this course will present a contemporary Jungian perspective on violence, suffering, and abandonment, whether collective or personal. How are we to make sense of what otherwise seems random or meaningless suffering in our personal histories and throughout the course of our lives?
Dreams, Trauma-Related Archetypes, and Psychic Healing
5 consecutive Monadays, 6:00 – 7:40 pm
Beginning November 08, 2010
Instructor: Robert Langs, MD
Trauma plays a critical, often unconsciously mediated role in determining the course of our lives. This seminar will explore a newly discovered set of archetypal responses to these stressful events which may involve both harm suffered or harm caused. Using dreams and other material reported in the psychoanalytic literature and elsewhere, the ways in which our biologically driven, archetypal responses to stress enable us to cope with the many ramifications of these incidents will be explored. Paradoxically, many universal responses to trauma tend to be guilt-ridden and self-defeating. The course will show how to identify and modify these detrimental reactions in order to promote psychic healing.
