The course introduces the central theoretical concepts of analytical psychology which will be located within critical, comparative and experiential perspectives.
A further aim is to introduce students to the general field of contemporary post-Jungian psychology and familiarise them with the relevant literature. The interface between analytical psychology and psychoanalysis will be foregrounded.
In addition, opportunities will be provided for the theoretical exploration of the connection between these key concepts and their clinical use.
The course will be taught by a team of analytical psychologists (Jungian analysts) from a variety of backgrounds, groups, and theoretical perspectives (biographical notes are provided with the course pack).
Readings are either required or recommended. It is essential that students study the required readings prior to the lecture. You will need your Essex ID and password to log in to access an electronic version of The Collected Works of C.G. Jung.
