In 1936, C. G. Jung traveled to America and gave a ground-breaking series of lectures at the Bailey Island Library Hall on the subject of “Dream Symbols of the Individuation Process” which was based on the dreams of the nuclear physicist Wolfgang Pauli. In 1944 he reworked this material into Psychology and Alchemy, which became Volume 12 of the Collected Works.
Over the intervening 90 years, much has been discovered in the area of early developmental theory and the companion disciplines of attachment theory, affective neuro-science, early infant studies, and body-centered healing methods for early trauma. These new discoveries present us with a dissociative system of defensive powers (pictured in the Blake image above) that complicate the healing process by resisting the patient’s experience of vulnerable feelings. The role of these archetypal defenses in early-trauma work provides a challenge to conventional Jungian thought, and begs to be integrated into a renewed, and more relevant Analytical Psychology. Exploring these integrative links will be our goal in this intensive day-long seminar. Donald Kalsched will show how discoveries in these new disciplines carry implications for the way we do therapy, for the way we work with dreams, and, in general, for how we understand the symbolic process and its role in what Jung called “individuation.”
Requirements: Participants are required to be in (or retired from) some form of psychotherapeutic practice or to be active students preparing for licensure in one of the mental health disciplines. Please indicate this background when you fill out the contact sheet under ‘registration’ on the Web Site.

Like all major theorists of the human psyche, C. G. Jung was at pains to understand the unique, irreplaceable nature of personhood--what it means to be a conscious, authentic, fully alive, creative and integrated person. The developmental process of realizing oneself as a person was for Jung, equivalent to the unfolding of latent potentials--a vital spark of aliveness--something sacred and utterly unique in us that must be actualized in the joy and suffering of each individual life as we strive to "become the persons we were intended to be" which he called “individuation.” The potential for this “unfolding,” Jung felt, lay deep in the foundations of the personality like a seed, and was universally represented in mythology as the archetype of the innocent or divine child in exile.
Trauma in childhood accounts for such exile, and as we know, trauma is universal. Hence, exile and self-alienation are also universal. By studying the lives of people who have survived early trauma, we discover that the ideal “unfolding” of the personality Jung envisioned is partially blocked and distorted by powerful-but-necessary archetypal defenses. These defenses divide up the inner world and banish unbearably painful feelings to the unconscious where they continue to live in “suspended animation” as “implicit memories” or as the orphaned “specters” of a traumatic childhood. When psychotherapy begins, these wounded, ghost-like remnants of our childhood selves re-emerge—seeking acceptance and healing—but only against powerful resistances thrown up by the defensive system.
The battle that thus emerges in trauma therapy between life- and anti-life forces as they find their way into the analytic partnership, is one that Jung seldom described, and is much stormier than the benign “unfolding” of human potential he called “individuation.” To understand the human and archetypal children in the psyche, we must also understand the human and archetypal oppressors of these “children.” This will require a re-visioning of Analytical Psychology in light of contemporary findings about aggression as well as libido in the developing personality—and a re-visioning of how defensive, dismembering forces as well as healing integrative ones—find their way into the analytic dialogue.

Three Webinars sponsored by "The Retreat" at Pacifica Graduate Institute
The fiery trial through which we are passing as a nation has its roots in deep traumatic injuries to our personal and collective psyches as a people. These injuries are very difficult for us to confront and metabolize on a personal level and even more difficult to understand and heal collectively. They are simply overwhelming in their cumulative effect, and unbearlingly painful when considered individually and in detail. They lead to what Robert J. Lifton called our “national reality disorder” with its distrust of scientific facts, it’s refusal to acknowledge our underlying racism, denial of the rapidly accelerating Climate disster, and the “fake news” accusations of the Trump administration, aided and abetted by rampant conspiracy theories.
Depth Psychology has much to contribute to an enhanced understanding of the painful realities that we confront and our primitive defenses against them. Through this understanding we are also made aware of effective ways of healing the current splitting and polarization that are fragmenting our society. In this three-part series, Dr. Kalsched will focus on three aspects of our current polarization and fragmentation: Underlying Racism, Climate-change Denial, and Malignant Nationalism.

The Retreat at Pacifica Graduate Institute
In response to current global and national crises, Pacifica Graduate Institute is proud to present this landmark conference featuring thought leaders and community partners standing together at the radical edge of depth psychology and social engagement. Changing times call for a changing conference – and a conference on change – that is community-based, liberation-centered, and engages directly with the numerous threats now at the threshold of our political horizons. Pre-conference workshops and keynote presentations on trauma, narcissism and rage, the role of “genius” and mythic thinking, as well as themes of embodiment, psyche and technology, archetypal activism, and war-induced trauma, weave their way throughout this powerful weekend of shared vision and renewed mission. Join us at Pacifica as we respond with depth psychologically-informed insight to both the plight of the present and the pull of the future.
