The Unconscious as Multiple Consciousness
December 6, 2008 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PST
The Saturday workshop will focus on high-lights throughout the essay, providing in-depth understanding of its remarkable summary of analytical psychology. Topics will include the dissociability of the psyche and the nature of archetypes, with a special focus on The Unconscious as a Multiple Consciousness, a Jungian notion that will allow participants to apply his innovations to their own clinical experiences and illuminate the variety of interior experiences that occur during the process of personal work with the unconscious psyche. Presentations will be interspersed with informal group discussion and questions.
Workshop Participants are encouraged to read Jung’s essay, “On the Nature of the Psyche,” CW Vol 8, before the workshop. Copies will be available to participants at the workshop. Participants are invited to bring questions from their reading or to raise items of interest from the essay for discussion during the workshop.
