A Clinical Supervisory Webinar & Case Study: Jungian Perspective

We are fascinated by the process of psychotherapy and experienced treatment as truly transformative, good enough, or utterly disastrous. The pioneers in the field have sought to understand something of those inherent, archetypal processes which create conditions for healing, occurring within one of the most perplexing and transformative relationships humanity has ever known.

It is this expression of Psyche in Matter that moved Teilhard De Chardin to write that “Matter is spirit moving slowly enough to be seen”, and for Jung to state that; “Since psyche and matter are contained in one and the same world… it is not only possible but fairly probable…that psyche and matter are two different aspects of one and the same thing.” (C. G. Jung CW vol VIII P. 215).

In this presentation participants will present their clinical work for supervision. Here we will see how the very conditions of treatment- the ground rules often serve to replicate both the patient’s deepest traumatic wounds, and reveal their defenses organized around these. So too we will discuss the difference between conscious and unconscious communication.

No longer are these therapeutic enactments viewed as transference or iatrogenic dynamics, but instead, form part of a natural process whereby an archetypal field is activated, bringing both client and therapist into its vortex as a necessary part of healing.

While we continue to study the intricacies of treatment, ultimately however, we must acknowledge that psychotherapy is a mystery, an archetypal and spiritual experience worthy of our attention, dedication, and perhaps even our awe.

Learning Objectives:

Learn about the archetypal, inherent properties existing within the therapeutic relationship.
Learn about the importance of the initial session in treatment.
Come to understand how the actual structure of the treatment is often governed by the client’s unconscious dynamics, serving to replicate past traumatic experiences.
