User Notes:
DVD (Region 1); 9 tracks; 2 hours, 33 minutes. From the jacket notes: Murray Stein is an OFJ presenter. "C.G. Jung wrote exensively on symbols and symbolic process, beginning importantly with the work that heralded his break with Freud, 'Symbole und Wandlungen der Libido' ('Symbols and Transformations of Libido). 'The Red Book,' which followed shortly afterwards, is itself a symbolic work in many respects, not only for its content of narrative and the painted images but for the meaning it held for Jung personally. The field of analytical psychology has been, as a consequence of Jung's regard for the symbolic, known for its interpretation of symbols as they appear in clutural materials such as myths, fairy tales and religious doctrines and rituals, and also on a personal level in dreams, active imagination, projection and transference (or countertransference). What symbols and the symbolic process mean will be the subject of this seminar. Special consideration will be given to the rise and use of the transcendental function in psychic life and expecially in the interpersonal field of psychotherapy. In addition, there will be a discussion on the differences that arose earlier between Zurich and London concerning the appearce and meaning of symbols and where this issue stands today in the respecitive shools and their relations."
