| Extra Info | : | Fantasy, Active Imagination and the Red Book: The Emergence of Analytical Psychology as a Distinct Discipline of Psychotherapy Speaker: Katerina Sarafidou Active imagination and Jung’s unique understanding of fantasy are two of his most original contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of the psyche and to working with unconscious processes. Yet Jung references the subject only sparingly in the Collected Works. His own self-experimentation was documented in the Red Book and took the form of entering into waking fantasies and dialoguing with the characters that appeared. The development of this approach into a systematic way of engaging with the inner world made analytical psychology a distinct discipline of psychotherapy beyond the cure of neuroses. This seminar will explore Jung’s active imagination as this is elucidated in the Red Book and Black Books, its implications for the understanding of the psyche, and its role in individuation. |
