JAWA Workshops for 2008-2009

Clinical Uses of Jungian Psychology

Four Saturday Seminars on Jungian Theory
and Practice at American University in Washington, D.C.

(3 CEs per workshop • Registration and location information below)

SEPTEMBER 13, 2008 • 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
"Noble Suffering: The Archetype of the Tragic," with Julie Bondanza, Ph.D.

The therapist is often at a loss when the tragic enters the treatment room. How does one hold hope in the face of tragedy? Through art, mythology, and clinical cases we discover the archetype of the tragic. We will observe how, for all the pain and misery imposed, catastrophe often awakens the human spirit. Participants are invited to bring clinical vignettes.

NOVEMBER 15, 2008 • 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
"Women, Power and Aggression," with Jane Penrod, M.S.N., R.N., C.S.P.

Through folktale, myth, and clinical cases we explore the psychological challenges women face as they move into their own authority. Selected historical and cultural portraits of women's use of power and aggression will be viewed in light of recurring motifs found in women's dreams.

FEBRUARY 21, 2009 • 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
"Aggression in Analysis and in Fairy Tales," with Bonnie Miller, M.S., L.P.C.

Our reluctance to use our aggression in the consulting room makes it difficult to see and address our patients' aggression in a way they can relate to and understand without acting out or withdrawing in the analytic session. An exploration of aggression as an archetypal motif in fairy tales will help us discover constructive approaches to aggression in psychotherapy. Participants are invited to bring a fairy tale that speaks to their aggression, as they understand it.

APRIL 18, 2009 • 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
"Breaking the Ties That Bind," with Anne Pickup, L.C.M.F.T.

Breaking the ties that bind is the sine qua non for new and expanding life and is a major theme in an analytic process. The troublesome complexities of separation, letting-go, and severing ties require that we endure the suffering that inevitably follows. We will look at clinical examples, myth, story, music, and dreams to explore the universal drama of separation in service to the individuation process.
