Anima and Animus as Soul and Spirit

February 24, 1991 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PST

lecture:

This workshop will review the many different ways in which Jung used the terms anima and animus, and will discuss the controversy these terms have inspired. We will explain why we believe that anima and animus actually describe particular intrapsychic functions, which are best understood as the operation of soul and spirit. This useage allows these functions to be separated from their historical association with contrasexuality, thereby freeing them from sexist bias.

Dr. Lionel Corbett trained in medicine and psychiatry in England and as a Jungian Analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago. His primary interests are: the religious function of the psyche, especially the way in which personal religious experience is relevant to individual psychology; the development of psychotherapy as a spiritual practice; and the interface of Jungian psychology and contemporary psychoanalytic thought. Dr. Corbett is a professor of depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, in Santa Barbara, California, where he teaches depth psychology. He is the author of numerous professional papers and four books: Psyche and the Sacred; The Religious Function of the Psyche; The Sacred Cauldron: Psychotherapy as a Spiritual Practice, and most recently The Soul in Anguish: Psychotherapeutic Approaches to Suffering. He is the co-editor of: Psyche’s Stories; Jung and Aging;  Depth Psychology, Meditations in the Field; and Psychology at the Threshold.
