Intensive Program 1:
From Dismemberment to Integration
July 6 – 11, 2008

Intensive Program 2:
Authenticity and Self-Betrayal
July 13 – 18, 2008

For forty-six years, the C.G. Jung Foundation of New York has been conducting educational programs for both professionals and the general public. It is the publisher of Quadrant: The Journal of the C. G. Jung Foundation and runs a book service offering a wide selection of books by and about C. G. Jung and the field of analytical psychology.

The Foundation's Summer Study Program is a unique opportunity to meet people from all over the United States and the world who share a common interest in Jung and his ideas. Past summer participants hailed from such diverse locations as Brazil, Switzerland, Belgium, Puerto Rico, Australia, Ireland, Venezuela, and the Pacific Northwest. Both of the Intensive programs have been carefully designed to be informative and stimulating for professionals in the field and the general public. We encourage participants from a wide range of backgrounds to attend either or both sessions of our summer program.

This program is your chance to spend time at the C.G. Jung Center of New York, a lovely, air-conditioned brownstone in midtown Manhattan. Additionally, our staff will help provide those of you from out of town with any information that you might need regarding individual exploration of New York City during your time here.

Register early! Enrollment will be limited. We look forward to meeting you in July.

Psychological Dismemberment in Myth and Fairy Tales

Psychological dismemberment happens to all of us at some point in our lives: when we feel like we're falling apart or we feel on the edge of psychological disaster. This seminar examines the archetypal underpinnings of feelings like these through a study of myth and fairy tales as they relate to catastrophic feelings.

Instructor: Julie Bondanza, PhD


Tuesday, July 8, 2008
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Dreams and Dismemberment

Central to Jung's understanding of the process of individuation is our experience of the defeat of one's ego, most graphically depicted as dismemberment. We lose all, we are reduced to parts, we rediscover and recover a newly evolving skeletal structure. Our new psychic center integrates and organically transcends our old lines, frameworks, structures, bones. While resurrectional, such a shifting is depicted as destructive, a rending. Although one may be grateful for such a death, nonetheless the reality of the changes occurring is known as loss, a true mortificatio. As this process is conveyed often through the dreams we have, in this seminar we will explore the experience of "dismemberment" as it manifests in dreams.

Instructor: Harry Wells Fogarty, PhD
Note: This class will be held at the Blanton-Peale Institute

Mandala as Integration Symbolism

“… I knew that in finding the mandala as an expression of the self I had attained what was for me the ultimate.” — C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

After Jung's break with Freud, he encountered a period of psychological and spiritual dismemberment. It was during this time that he discovered the mandala, which is Sanskrit for "circle." In 1916, he painted his first mandala and discovered his daily drawing corresponded to his psychological situation and psychic transformation. He found that the mandala appeared in dreams and that at times of psychic conflict, mandala drawing was self-healing and moved one toward wholeness. Jung noted that the object of drawing the individual mandalas was to locate the Self, and he believed the integrative art form was a tool for the individuation process. During this workshop, participants will create mandalas, learn basic interpretive skills, and like Jung, experience the mandala as a symbol of integration that moves one from dismemberment to wholeness.

Instructor: Jane Selinske, EdD, LCSW, LP, MT-BC


Thursday, July 10, 2008
10:00am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Shamanism

C.G. Jung correlates the early symptoms, exotic initiatory experiences, and expansive visionary gifts of shamanism with the inner workings of the individuation process. This review of Jung’s observations, the classic work by religious historian Mircea Eliade so essential to them, and select insights by other investigators will be colorfully garnished with slides of shamanic attire, ritual accoutrements and treatment, imagery from ancient sites, dreams and anecdotes, and reflections on today’s urgent necessity for a thoroughgoing ecological psychology.

Instructor: Bradley A. TePaske, PhD


Friday July 11, 2008
10:00am – 1:00pm, & 2:30 – 5:00pm
Integration: Experiences of Wholeness

In the journey from dismemberment to integration (and back again) there are moments of balance and harmony which manifest in dreams, fantasies, creative outpourings of all kinds and, most importantly, in relationships. Jung refers to these symbols of wholeness produced by psyche as “miracles.” In this experiential workshop, we will explore bringing symbolic material to consciousness through engagement with our own creative process.

False Self, Persona and the Quest for Authenticity

Through folk tale, dream, and dialogue, we track the phenomenon of personal identity as founded in early life experience, shaped by work and family roles, and transformed as we are called to greater wholeness.

Instructor: Melanie Starr Costello, PhD


Tuesday, July 15, 2008
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 –5:00 pm
Living with Ghosts

Family secrets can have a profound impact on a person's life, though what precisely that effect is often only becomes clear in adult life, as people pursue clues and hints inadvertently left by odd facts or unexplained gaps in family narratives. By conceiving of secrets as ghosts, immaterial beings with a life and a story — and often even a will — of their own, beings that sometimes haunt but that can also guide, we will explore how secrets can burden, but also have a transformative role. This theme will be investigated through anthropological accounts of spirit possession, psycholanalytic case-material, literature, and myths and fairy tales.

Instructor: Marianne M. Vysma, MA


Wednesday, July 16, 2008
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Living with Integrity: Understanding the Role of the Archetypal Charlatan and the Trickster in One’s Life

The dynamics of the charlatan and the trickster seem to be in conflict with living with integrity. Yet, in this seminar we will discover how one can only move towards an authentic life when one becomes conscious of the psychic reality of the Charlatan within oneself as well as in the world at large. We will explore how to relate to this powerful archetypal force without identifying nor blindly projecting it into others.

Instructor: Heide M. Kolb, MA, LCSW, NCPsyA


Thursday, July 17, 2008
10:00 am – 1:00pm; 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Unbearable Choices

“…The great decisions in human life usually have far more to do with the instincts and other mysterious unconscious factors than with conscious will and well-meaning reasonableness. The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no universal recipe for living. Each of us carries his own life-form within him--an irrational form which no other can outbid.” — C. G. Jung Vol. 16, p. 81

How often do we come to a major crossroad in life and become totally and miserably stuck, feeling helpless and unsure? We may ask how we got here, what we did to deserve this, and obsess on what we should do, but to no avail. How do we proceed and, more importantly, what will happen?

One’s journey through life has many twists and turns, eventful and uneventful, but when we become stuck, there is nothing more helpless or upsetting. This workshop attempts to explore different dynamics involved when one becomes unbearably stuck with the opposites not only being polarized but fighting to stay that way. From this space of chaos and pain, the possibility of something new emerging still exists. More importantly, from this space of chaos and pain, the possibility of becoming more whole still exists.

During this workshop, we will explore some of the archetypal underpinnings of such dilemmas through myth and fairy tales as well use our creative imagination in finding the way through such spaces.

Instructor: Rosanne Shepler, LPC, LP


Friday, July 18, 2008
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Authenticity and Its Vicissitudes

Under the civilizing pressures of society, we spend long years to achieve a self-definition that will make us acceptable. Yet, from the perspective of a rebellious adolescent, these collective conventions seem hypocritical, while from the vantage point of the rulers, non-conformity is the ultimate sin. It is only for those who stop to look, listen, and start questioning themselves that answers can slowly emerge from an inner source. In this workshop, we will explore ways to uncover this source of authenticity and the difficulties, inner and outer, of doing so.

Instructor: Irene Gad, MD, PhD
