The Structure of the Psyche in Relationship
Psyche Receiving Cupid's First Kiss (1798) by François Gérard:
Using images from the Red Book, Nic will highlight the importance of creativity, archetypes and images to facilitate the healing process. His central focus will be on the four quadrants: Integral psychology, temperament, Kabbalah, mandalas and the four Jungian functions. The anatomy of the Psyche will be discussed from the perspective of 'being in relationship.'
Relationship work is central to a psycho-spiritual approach to both therapy and living a full life. Whether the work is with a client with regard to transference and counter-transference, an intimate partner, with one's self, or with society, life demands we relate to others and be shaped by these experiences. Over the last year Nic has been working on the 2nd edition of the WAVE relationship inventory on which Jung has been a central influence.
Join us as we unravel the purpose of romantic love; how romantic love goes wrong; effective couple’s dialogue; the science of attraction; and even touch on the subject of Jung’s relationship with Emma Jung and - in contrast - to Antonia Wolff & Sabina Spielrein.
