Each of the professional development lectures and seminar/workshops in this series takes one or more of these Jungian signature concepts as its point of departure. The Friday night lectures look at the wider clinical and theoretical implications the ideas under discussion, and stand alone in themselves. They also, however, form a prelude to a more in depth exploration in the Saturday seminars which follow them. The Saturday seminars include input from presenters on both traditional and contemporary understandings of Jungian concepts. These discussions will be grounded in clinical examples drawn from a wide spectrum of presenting issues, and attendees are invited to bring confidential clinical examples for discussion. This series of professional development lectures and seminars have been structured to make them accessible to clinicians who have little or no knowledge of Jung’s work. At the same time, the approach being taken to the ideas under discussion means that these events will also be relevant to clinicians who are familiar with Jung’s ideas and are interested in exploring how they might develop new ways of applying them in their work. Over the three year cycle, the concepts in Knox’s list will be covered in the lectures and seminars as follows: Jungian Analysis: The Self as Process in Theory and Practice 1) The self as an organizing psychic structure Jungian Analysis: The Personal and Collective Psyche - Therapy as a Process of Individuation: 2) Archetypes and the collective unconscious 4) The unconscious as an active and purposive agent in individuation Jungian Analysis: Symbolisation and the Structure of the Unconscious: 3)The dissociative nature of the psyche and the formation of complexes 7) Psychic imagery as symbols not signs, reflecting something as yet unknown Jungian Analysis: The Nature of The Psyche and Processes of Therapeutic Change: 5) The psyche as self-regulating - the transcendent function (including experiences of the emergent third and item 8 above which is Jung's clinical principle that one cannot influence a client unless one is available to be influenced by the client) 6) Libido as neutral psychic energy, available for a number of purposes (Reference: Knox (2007) Who Owns the Unconscious? or Why Psychoanalysts Need to 'Own Jung', p.319 in "Who Owns Jung?" ed., Ann Casement, Karnac, London). PROGRAM EVENTS FOR 2010 ANZSJA is pleased to announce that it will be running 4 professional development events in 3 cities across Australia and New Zealand in 2010, based on the list of topics given above. Jungian Analysis: Symbolisation and the Structure of the Unconscious Location 1: Sydney, NSW, March 2010 Friday Night Lecture - Images, Symbols And Being Creative In Psychotherapy: Working Constructively With What Arises. *Speaker: Andre Zanardo (Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts, WA)* Date: Friday 5th March 2010 Times: 7.30pm – 9.00pm Venue: Sydney University Village, 90 Carillon Ave, Newtown, NSW 2042 “It is as if we did not know or continually forgot, that everything of which we are conscious is an image, and that image is psyche” (CGJung, CW13:Para 50). What is a symbol (as opposed to a sign or representation), what does it mean to work symbolically in psychotherapy and why does this matter? This lecture is an exploration of how we can think about, engage with, and make creative use of the symbolic material and images which arise within the therapeutic encounter. The lecture will offer clinicians techniques to work with these images through the presentation of numerous clinical examples and case vignettes, as well as presenting some of the key Jungian concepts which underpin this thinking. Saturday All Day Seminar: Jungian Analysis: Symbolisation and the Structure of the Unconscious *Seminar Leaders: Sue Austin (Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts, NSW) and Andre Zanardo (Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts, WA)* Date: Saturday 6th March 2010 Times: 9.30am – 4.30pm Venue: Sydney University Village, 90 Carillon Ave, Newtown, NSW 2042 This seminar will explore Jung’s understanding of the structure and workings of the unconscious by focusing on three of Knox’s (2007) list of seven ‘signature’ Jungian concepts: - The dissociative nature of the psyche and its tendency to form complexes; - Libido as a neutral psychic energy, available for a number of purposes; - Psychic imagery as symbols not signs, reflecting something as yet unknown. Woven together, these three concepts can be used to draw out the possibilities for change that are embedded in the client’s material and they offer powerful ways of working with people who have disorders of the self and other complex presenting patterns. The generation of feeling-toned imagery is central to this approach. Jung saw this process of symbolisation as a function of the structure and process of the unconscious, and regarded images produced by the psyche in this way as pointing beyond themselves, reflecting something yet unknown. This quality of ‘unknownness’ in images (be they from fantasies, dreams, reverie, etc) offers the clinician insight into the tensions and conflicts within the client’s unconscious, and can be used as the basis of clinical engagement. *Lecture and Seminar Presenters:* Sue Austin (Sydney, NSW) - trained with the Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts. She received a Ph.D. from the University of Sydney for her work on gender, identity and analytical psychology and a book based on this work was published by Brunner-Routledge in 2005 entitled "Women's Aggressive Fantasies: An Exploration of Self-Hatred, Love and Agency". Sue's private practise comprises general analytic work, but she also specialises in working with eating disordered adults. She has run numerous clinical workshops and seminars in the public and private health sectors in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and USA and has published a number of clinical and theoretical papers. Andre Zanardo (Perth) is a Jungian Analyst in private practice in North Perth. He trained with the Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts and is a member of the International Association of Analytical Psychologists. Alongside broad analytic work Andre has a particular interest in the ‘imaginal’ space and the creative utilisation of transferential and counter-transferential imagery as a way of vitalising the psychotherapy process. In 2008 Andre gave a paper on the ‘Creative use of Aesthetic and Artistic sensibility in Jungian Analysis’ at the Art and Psyche conference in San Francisco. This paper will be published in 2010, and Andre is currently preparing a paper on imagination, redemption and film. Jungian Analysis: The Nature of The Psyche and Processes of Therapeutic Change Location 1: Christchurch, NZ, March 2010 Friday Night Lecture - Unconscious Structures And Defences, And How An Analytic/Psychotherapeutic Relationship May Challenge And Change Some Of Them *Speaker: Giles Clark (Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts, NSW)* Date: Friday 19th March 2010 Times: 7.30pm – 9.00pm Venue: University of Canterbury, Christchurch, NZ Jung wrote that ‘For two personalities to meet is like two different chemical substances: if there is any combination at all, both are transformed. In any effective psychological treatment the doctor is bound to influence the patient; but this influence can only take place if the patient has a reciprocal influence on the doctor. You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence’. (C.G. Jung, CW, vol. 16, para. 163) When two people contract to meet regularly and within a containing frame in order to explore the affects of psychological forces (through fantasies, dreams and the re-experiencing of emotional relations), then there may be an affective psychic (and even psychosomatic) meeting at many levels, from conscious to deeply unconscious. This particular and peculiar (both very real and strangely symbolic) relationship offers the chance of a transformative process of imaginative thought and re-creation through (and out of) emotional pain and confusion. In analysis we both enter a contained and shared process of observation and exploration so that we may thence be open to being mutually informed through profoundly unconscious (psychic and psychosomatic) communication. Out of this mix there emerges the Transcendent Function (which I shall suggest is a sort of Intuitive Knowledge that forms out of processed transferential and counter-transferential information and memory), and thereby both of us may be profoundly changed. The analytic endeavour is therefore an ethical issue. I shall give case examples of this process, and offer inter-related thoughts about libidinal and defensive (or self-preservatory) forces. This will entail saying a bit about schizoid ‘puers’ and ‘puellas’, about a narcissistic creation of a false self and hiding of the true self, about destructive and self-destructive anger, and depressive defeat ... all seen from the perspective of post-Jungian clinical/ analytic theory and practice. The introduction to ‘The Psychology of the Transference’ is the essential section of Jung’s work for this topic. Saturday All Day Seminar: Jungian Analysis: The Nature of The Psyche and Processes of Therapeutic Change *Seminar Leaders: Giles Clark (Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts, NSW) and Andrew Gresham (Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts, NZ)* Date: Saturday 20th March 2010 Times: 10.00am – 5.00pm Venue: University of Canterbury, Christchurch, NZ The focus of this seminar is Jung’s idea that change is inherent to the nature of the psyche, and that this, and the psyche’s self-regulating character, can be used as the basis of the therapeutic process. The seminar also looks at the role of the therapeutic relationship in clinical work, focusing on Jung’s observation that the clinician cannot influence their client unless they are available to be influenced by the client. The day’s presentations and discussions will be grounded in clinical examples drawn from a wide spectrum of presenting issues. Emphasis will, however, be placed on how Jungian and post-Jungian understandings of psychological processes and structures can be used to work with people who have disorders of the self and other complex presenting patterns. *Lecture and Seminar Presenters:* Giles Clark (Sydney, NSW) – Giles Clark has been practicing as an analyst for over 30 years, from 1975 to 1994 in London and since 1995 in Sydney.

Location 3: Sydney, NSW, October 2010 Friday Night Lecture - Conscious And Unconscious Relationship In Psychotherapy: A Contemporary Jungian Approach To Transference And Countertransference. *Speaker: Jean Knox, Society of Analytical Psychology (UK)* Jung placed relationship at the heart of psychotherapy, and this is reflected in his basic assumption that the clinician cannot exert influence unless they are available to be influenced by their client / patient (C.W. 16, para. 163). Jung was adamant that the analyst is not merely a neutral observer and interpreter of the analysand’s unconscious and felt that Freud’s approach led to a formulaic process of analysis, in which the analyst knows beforehand what will emerge from the patient’s unconscious. In contrast to this, Jung viewed analysis as a dialectical process ‘in which the doctor, as a person, participates just as much as the patient’ (Jung CW 16, para. 239) and he was the first psychoanalyst to suggest that analysts should therefore have their own training analysis. In this lecture, this approach to the analytic/therapeutic encounter will be explored in the light of contemporary developments in attachment theory, relational approaches to psychotherapy and recent neuroscientific research, for example, on mirror neurons. Date: Friday 29th October 2010 Times: 7.30pm – 9.00pm Venue: Sydney University Village, 90 Carillon Ave, Newtown, NSW 2042 Saturday All Day Seminar: The Mind In Fragments: Understanding And Working With Dissociation In Clinical Practice. *Seminar Leader: Jean Knox, Society of Analytical Psychology (UK)* Date: Saturday 30th October 2010 Times: 9.30am – 4.30pm Venue: Sydney University Village, 90 Carillon Ave, Newtown, NSW 2042 Psychotherapists are increasingly recognizing that many of our patients’ distresses and symptoms are the direct consequence of past trauma, usually in the form of psychological, emotional or physical neglect or abuse from those people they most loved and depended on. We are also finding that these kinds of early traumas lead to dissociative states of varying degrees of severity. In this seminar, I shall discuss the theoretical concept of dissociation in Jungian theory and relate this to current models of dissociation in attachment theory and neuroscience. I shall also discuss the different kinds and degrees of dissociation we encounter in clinical practice and relate this to a number of Jung’s other basic concepts, namely that the unconscious is an active and purposive agent in individuation, the psyche is a self-regulating system, and that psychic symbolism, in the form of enactments, symptoms and imagery, communicates something as yet unknown. *Lecture and Seminar Presenters:* *Dr Jean Knox* is a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst in private practice in Oxford. She is a Training Analyst of the Society of Analytical Psychology, a Senior Member of the British Association of Psychotherapists, Consultant Editor of the Journal of Analytical Psychology and Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Kent. She has written and taught extensively on the relevance of attachment theory and developmental neuroscience to Jungian theory and practice. Her book Archetype, Attachment, Analysis: Jungian Psychology and the Emergent Mind was published by Brunner- Routledge in 2003.

ANZSJA Professional Development Seminars

INTRODUCTION:

ANZSJA’s 2009 – 2011 clinician’s Professional Development program takes as its point of departure Jean Knox’s (2007) suggestion that Jung’s work is built on the following seven ‘signature’ concepts:

1) The self as an organizing psychic structure
2) Archetypes and the collective unconscious
3) The dissociative nature of the psyche and the formation of complexes
4) The unconscious as an active and purposive agent in individuation
5) The psyche as self-regulating - the transcendent function
6) Libido as neutral psychic energy, available for a number of purposes
7) Psychic imagery as symbols not signs, reflecting something as yet unknown

In order to support the clinical focus of this series of professional development lectures and seminars ANZSJA has added Jung’s well-known principle that:
8) the clinician cannot exert influence unless they are available to be influenced by their client /patient (C.W. 16, para. 163).
Each of the professional development lectures and seminar/workshops in this series takes one or more of these Jungian signature concepts as its point of departure. The Friday night lectures look at the wider clinical and theoretical implications the ideas under discussion, and stand alone in themselves. They also, however, form a prelude to a more in depth exploration in the Saturday seminars which follow them.
The Saturday seminars include input from presenters on both traditional and contemporary understandings of Jungian concepts. These discussions will be grounded in clinical examples drawn from a wide spectrum of presenting issues, and attendees are invited to bring confidential clinical examples for discussion.
This series of professional development lectures and seminars have been structured to make them accessible to clinicians who have little or no knowledge of Jung’s work. At the same time, the approach being taken to the ideas under discussion means that these events will also be relevant to clinicians who are familiar with Jung’s ideas and are interested in exploring how they might develop new ways of applying them in their work.
Over the three year cycle, the concepts in Knox’s list will be covered in the lectures and seminars as follows:

Jungian Analysis: The Self as Process in Theory and Practice
1) The self as an organizing psychic structure

Jungian Analysis: The Personal and Collective Psyche - Therapy as a Process of Individuation:
2) Archetypes and the collective unconscious
4) The unconscious as an active and purposive agent in individuation

Jungian Analysis: Symbolisation and the Structure of the Unconscious:
3)The dissociative nature of the psyche and the formation of complexes
7) Psychic imagery as symbols not signs, reflecting something as yet unknown

Jungian Analysis: The Nature of The Psyche and Processes of Therapeutic Change:
5) The psyche as self-regulating - the transcendent function (including experiences of the emergent third and item 8 above which is Jung's clinical principle that one cannot influence a client unless one is available to be influenced by the client)
6) Libido as neutral psychic energy, available for a number of purposes

(Reference: Knox (2007) Who Owns the Unconscious? or Why Psychoanalysts Need to 'Own Jung', p.319 in "Who Owns Jung?" ed., Ann Casement, Karnac, London).

PROGRAM EVENTS FOR 2010

ANZSJA is pleased to announce that it will be running 4 professional development events in 3 cities across Australia and New Zealand in 2010, based on the list of topics given above.

Jungian Analysis: The Nature of The Psyche and Processes of Therapeutic Change

Location 1: Christchurch, NZ, March 2010

Friday Night Lecture - Unconscious Structures And Defences, And How An Analytic/Psychotherapeutic Relationship May Challenge And Change Some Of Them

Speaker: Giles Clark (Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts, NSW)

Date: Friday 19th March 2010
Times: 7.30pm – 9.00pm
Venue: University of Canterbury, Christchurch, NZ

Jung wrote that ‘For two personalities to meet is like two different chemical substances: if there is any combination at all, both are transformed. In any effective psychological treatment the doctor is bound to influence the patient; but this influence can only take place if the patient has a reciprocal influence on the doctor. You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence’. (C.G. Jung, CW, vol. 16, para. 163)
When two people contract to meet regularly and within a containing frame in order to explore the affects of psychological forces (through fantasies, dreams and the re-experiencing of emotional relations), then there may be an affective psychic (and even psychosomatic) meeting at many levels, from conscious to deeply unconscious.

The analytic endeavour is therefore an ethical issue.
I shall give case examples of this process, and offer inter-related thoughts about libidinal and defensive (or self-preservatory) forces. This will entail saying a bit about schizoid ‘puers’ and ‘puellas’, about a narcissistic creation of a false self and hiding of the true self, about destructive and self-destructive anger, and depressive defeat ... all seen from the perspective of post-Jungian clinical/ analytic theory and practice.
The introduction to ‘The Psychology of the Transference’ is the essential section of Jung’s work for this topic.

Saturday All Day Seminar: Jungian Analysis: The Nature of The Psyche and Processes of Therapeutic Change

Seminar Leaders: Giles Clark (Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts, NSW) and Andrew Gresham (Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts, NZ)

Date: Saturday 20th March 2010
Times: 10.00am – 5.00pm
Venue: University of Canterbury, Christchurch, NZ

The focus of this seminar is Jung’s idea that change is inherent to the nature of the psyche, and that this, and the psyche’s self-regulating character, can be used as the basis of the therapeutic process. The seminar also looks at the role of the therapeutic relationship in clinical work, focusing on Jung’s observation that the clinician cannot influence their client unless they are available to be influenced by the client.
The day’s presentations and discussions will be grounded in clinical examples drawn from a wide spectrum of presenting issues.

Location 3: Sydney, NSW, October 2010

Friday Night Lecture - Conscious And Unconscious Relationship In Psychotherapy: A Contemporary Jungian Approach To Transference And Countertransference.

Speaker: Jean Knox, Society of Analytical Psychology (UK)

Jung placed relationship at the heart of psychotherapy, and this is reflected in his basic assumption that the clinician cannot exert influence unless they are available to be influenced by their client / patient (C.W. 16, para. 163). Jung was adamant that the analyst is not merely a neutral observer and interpreter of the analysand’s unconscious and felt that Freud’s approach led to a formulaic process of analysis, in which the analyst knows beforehand what will emerge from the patient’s unconscious.
In contrast to this, Jung viewed analysis as a dialectical process ‘in which the doctor, as a person, participates just as much as the patient’ (Jung CW 16, para. 239) and he was the first psychoanalyst to suggest that analysts should therefore have their own training analysis.
In this lecture, this approach to the analytic/therapeutic encounter will be explored in the light of contemporary developments in attachment theory, relational approaches to psychotherapy and recent neuroscientific research, for example, on mirror neurons.

Date: Friday 29th October 2010

Saturday All Day Seminar: The Mind In Fragments: Understanding And Working With Dissociation In Clinical Practice.

Seminar Leader: Jean Knox, Society of Analytical Psychology (UK)

Date: Saturday 30th October 2010

Venue: Sydney University Village, 90 Carillon Ave, Newtown, NSW 2042

Psychotherapists are increasingly recognizing that many of our patients’ distresses and symptoms are the direct consequence of past trauma, usually in the form of psychological, emotional or physical neglect or abuse from those people they most loved and depended on. We are also finding that these kinds of early traumas lead to dissociative states of varying degrees of severity.
In this seminar, I shall discuss the theoretical concept of dissociation in Jungian theory and relate this to current models of dissociation in attachment theory and neuroscience. I shall also discuss the different kinds and degrees of dissociation we encounter in clinical practice and relate this to a number of Jung’s other basic concepts, namely that the unconscious is an active and purposive agent in individuation, the psyche is a self-regulating system, and that psychic symbolism, in the form of enactments, symptoms and imagery, communicates something as yet unknown.
