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 taht anima and animus actually descibe particular intrapsychic functions, which are best understood as the operation of soul and spirit. This useage allows these functions to be separated vrom their historical association with contrasexuality, thereby freeing them from sexist bias.
