LECTURE

"Life Stage Development and Jung"

Jung is well known for pioneering the investigation of development in the second half of life. What is less well known is that Jung had a theory of development that covered the entire life span. This lecture will give an overview of Jung’s theories and compare these to what is known today about life stage development.

She spent 21 years in Switzerland, studying at the CJ Jung Institute in Zurich, and later became training and supervising analyst at the ISAP Zurich training institute. She obtained her PhD at the University of Essex Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies; her dissertation was entitled “The Ego Concept in the Works of CG Jung”. She also taught Advanced Nursing Practice while in Switzerland at the University of Basel. She has returned to Canada to continue her analytical work as well as her teaching and supervisory activities in Victoria, BC.

LECTURE

“ The Mis-reading of Jung : The New Age Hijack of Analytical Psychology”

I am interested in exploring how the New Age Movement has embraced Jung with such intensity, yet has missed the central understanding of the individuation process.  This is particularly so in the mis-reading of Jung, noticeably with respect to the notion of archetypes, the role of the unconscious, the interpretation of symbols, and the place of the ego in Analytical Psychology.  The morphing of Analytical Psychology into a pop-culture consumerist “movement” is the result.”

Lecturer: John Betts is a Zürich-trained Jungian Analyst. He maintains a private practice in Victoria, BC. John delivers intensive courses in the Fundamentals of Jung as well as podcasting the "Jung Podcast" (http://jungian.libsyn.com). John's clinical interests involve the transcendent function and individuation, somatic illness, and art in analysis. His Zürich thesis focused on the development of a psychodynamic model of suicide. John can be contacted at jbetts5@telus.net, or through his website at www.jungian.ca
