Jung’s Treatment of Christianity
September 14, 1985 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm PDT
C.G. Jung wrote extensively on Christian themes during the last 20 years of his life. This lecture will look at what he said and why he said what he did. His writings on the Trinity, the Mass, and Alchemy will be examined in light of his thought about psychotherapy. The material will explore more deeply Dr. Jung’s therapeutic techniques as they bear on the issue of how Jung took Christianity under his psychotherapeutic care. Were his efforts to heal Christianity useful or misguided? Can we glimpse his vision for a religious future in Western culture? Will following his vision lead us to abandon our own traditions?
