Seed Talks: The Psychology of Carl Jung (14+)

Join us for a thorough introduction to Carl Jung and learn about aspects of his work that are particularly relevant today. We will look at Jung’s key concepts like Ego, Self, Persona, Shadow, the four psychological functions, the Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious.

Jung emphasised the importance of dreams and this will be explored. He also emphasised the importance of understanding the client-therapist relationship between the as one where each was changed by or in the process. He is credited with introducing the concept of the wounded healer and his understanding of this is explained. The search to derive a map of the human psyche was based on his own experience of a “creative illness”/spiritual emergency – described in the autobiographical Red Book – and the search took him into exploring Western and Eastern traditions. The talk illustrates his concepts with examples from his experience. For Jung, the psyche was a rich resource on both an individual and collective level.
