Jungian Psychology: Past, Present, Future
May 9, 1997 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PDT
This lecture will focus on where Jungian (analytic) psychology is today. Dr. Kirsch will discuss the first collective around analytical psychology-the Analytical Psychology Clubs, which were mentioned by Richard Noll. Then Dr. Kirsch will descibe the rapid development of three strands of analytical psychology in the world today: classical, developmental, and archetypal. He will discuss what the three strands imply for the future of analytical psychology as a profession, and for us individually. Also, he will speak about how analytical psychology has spread to all parts of the modern world.
