Where? AGAP Forum: Collective Shadows and Individual Suffering: Implications for Our Practice?
AGAP - Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists
When? Sep 7, 2024
Looking into cultural complexes and body politics of gender, sexuality and race in the light of contemporary social movements. Jungian Psychology in 21st century: Questions, Reflections, Explorations.
The vast of intersectional injuries and complexes we meet in our practice every day which derive from our culture, as Samuel Kimbels observed, are seen by our Jungian tradition as exogamous for the development of the individual and its influence on the individuation process is often overlooked. My interest in what is going on in justice movements around the body made me think of parallels to our fundaments of analytical psychology we stand on and our own history and injuries within the Jungian tradition around gender, sexuality and race. This talk is an opening discussion with others who are also interested in deepening these thoughts and reflecting on how analytical psychology can integrate aspects of these topics, so essential to a practice today for all our clients as well as for our community. Can we individuate together?
