Description:
We will explore the uncertainty in which we have been living in this new century. It is as if foundations we have relied upon have been upended. Can we count on truth being found, discerned? This stirs collective and personal anxiety. Our public life is rife with projections between people of opposite views, casting the blame on others. We will address what does psychoanalysis offer? What do we imagine is the emotional purpose in our work with others? C.G. Jung a century ago described the relation between conscious and unconscious itself as uncertain because we describers are always part of what is being described. I will draw particularly on Jung's notion of projection and what we do with the energy that returns to us when we withdraw our projections on others. Uncertainty may also offer some gifts of new forms emerging in our sense of meaning, our finding ways to communicate with others taking opposite stands, an our sense of serving something beyond our ego perspective.Learning objectives:
1- Participants will gain a sense of personal and collective anxiety from uncertainty of our times.
2- Participants will learn of the particular contribution of psychoanalysis in these uncertain times.
3- Participants will learn C.G. Jung's view of psyche and particularly of dynamics of projection.
4- Participants will learn of three gifts emerging from uncertainty in our times.
