Jung and the Art of Brain Maintenance:
Takes a roadtrip via The Attachment Café and Trauma Alley, incorporating a takeaway of lightly-seasoned neuroscience, with a sidecar full of Collected Works and a cool-box of clinical vignettes, all the better to explore and reclaim the far-reaching inferences of our rich heritage as Jungians. This day-long seminar will consider contemporary advances in psychology and post-postJungian theorising, and asks whether revisioning - or surgery – is needed. The body in analysis is a day-long theme as we explore clinical interventions in a possible new paradigm.Facilitator: Orla Crowley …….. and others,
