(VC) Active Imagination: The Use of Imagery in Jungian Analysis (Live interactive broadcast from Zurich, Switzerland) (videoconference)

Date/Time: 8/7/2009, 8:30 am-1:15 pm, Approximate class size: 300

Description:
Target Audience: Psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and other mental health providers, as well as others with a strong interest in Jung.

In the classic form of Jungian psychoanalysis, active imagination plays a key role as a method for engaging the unconscious and for instituting the more advanced stages of the individuation process. An important tool in the practice of active imagination was and remains “making pictures'. Using pencil, pen, paint, clay and other means of expression, the practitioner gives concrete reality and embodiment to the images generated in active imagination.

This seminar will focus on how the method came into being, how it was and is used, and how it has evolved during the past several decades into its contemporary forms.

Murray Stein will introduce and explain the method of active imagination and its history, and Paul Brutsche will show how the making of pictures in particular plays a role and how the pictures created are worked with and interpreted within the context of long-term Jungian psychotherapy.
