The Emotions: Psyche’s Body:The Archetypal Effects
May 15, 1987 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PDT
“On the one hand, emotion is the chemical fire whose warmth brings everything into existence and whose heat burns all superfluities to ashes… But on the other hand, emotion is the moment when steel meets flint and a spark is struck forth, for emotion is the chief source of consciousness. There is no change from darkness to light or from inertia to movement without emotion.”
C.G. Jung
For Jung, the emotions are the foundation of the psyche. They are central to the development of consciousness, as well as being the bridge between body and psyche. Updating Jung, Louis Stewart will present a hypothesis as to the nature and relation to other functions of the psyche. Joan Chodorow will introduce the evening.
