Please see the seminar description below, or visit ofj.org for details and registration.
The Dynamic Psyche: Working with the Unconscious as Psychic Energy
The seminar will continue to examine the relationship to the unconscious that was the subject of the seminar given by Dunbar Carpenter and Robert Stuckey in the fall of 2019. New and previous participants are welcome to attend. The unconscious makes its presence known in many forms, including emotion, imagination, impulses, and laughter as well as through images and dreams. We will examine some of the forms through which the unknown parts of the psyche express themselves as part of their movement to become conscious. For Jung, this dialogue between the known and the unknown, this relationship with the unconscious, was fundamental to the psychic development he called individuation. All psychic growth happens out of the new, and the new always emerges from the unknown through a process Jung described as the transcendent function. There will be a focus on the dynamic aspects of this dialogue, on the psyche in motion, on the unconscious as a verb rather than a noun.
Readings for the first part of the seminar will be from Two Essays on Analytical Psychology, which comprise Volume 7 of Jung’s Collected Works. Participants are encouraged to purchase Volume 7 which should be available in paperback for under $25. It is the best general introduction to Jung’s work in his own words. The primary reading for the second part of the seminar will be Jung’s essay on The Transcendent Function which is in Volume 8 of the Collected Works.
