SAP Talks

1. NOT AVAILABLE

2. What to do with Mother - An Adolescent Girl's Dilemma, Jane Bunster

Jane Bunster uses material from her own work with a patient to illustrate some of the problems and conflicts the adolescent girl may need to negotiate before she can develop her creative potential as a woman. Through a detailed exploration of this particularly illustrative case, she shows why adolescence is such a crucial stage in the individual's development and identifies important factors in the separation/individuation process

3. Adolescence: The Recurrent Experience, Mary Coghlan

Coghlan draws on the work of Jung and more recent theories and work with adolescents to discuss the tasks and problems of adolescence. She uses material from tow of her patients to illuminate some of the experiences particular to adolescence, which can recur at any stage of life.

4. Creation and Discovery: The Self in Analysis, Warren Colman

Colman discusses the apparent ambiguity in Jung's concept of individuation where ' I become the person I already am', asserting that this is neither contradiction nor paradox but 'conjunctio'. He explores the spheres of activity of the self and the ego and discusses the relationship between them. He uses an extended and illuminating case example to illustrate the creation and discovery of the self in analysis.

5. The Psychological Use of Fairy Tales, Crowther, Haynes, Newton

Suggesting that Fairy Tales can work as metaphors for the childs own concerns. Haynes illustrates how her patient created his own fairy tale in the analysis. Newton shows how the teller of the tale adapts the basis archetypal pattern to his or her conscious and unconscious aims and explores the role that fairytales can play in analytic work where the mediating function of the therapeutic relation has the potential to transform the two-dimensional fairytales into a three-dimensional personal experience. Crowther points out the didactic and anxiety-reliving function of fairytales. She concentrates on the successive re-writings of Red Riding Hood, and emphasises the features of the story which portrays archetypal elements.

6. Reflections on Maturation in Infancy & Childhood, Michael Fordham

Dr Fordham gives a detailed account of his observations and innovative theories of infant development, drawing for illustration on his own clinical work. Fordham regards the infant as a separate integrated being from the start, whose primary integrator is the self, a dynamic structure through whose activity emotional and ego growth develops. He outlines his theory of the de-integrative process by means of which the infant's self contributes to the interaction with the mother and in the accumulation of satisfactory experience undergoes re-integration and development. Fordham sees little use at this stage of the infant's maturation for a distinction between 'conscious' and 'unconscious'. His theories offer challenges to prior pre-conceptions about infant development, but he makes some links between his own work and aspects of the work of Bion and Klein.

7. The Oedipal Conflict in Adolescence, Hugh Gee

Gee discusses the need of the adolescent to separate from the parents and the simultaneous struggle with the pull towards them, particularly the mother. He illustrates his theme, using the story of Oedipus. The core of the Oedipus complex is the need for, but resistance to, consciousness.

8. The Archetypal Themes in Uccello's Painting St George and the Dragon, Hugh Gee

Hugh Gee uses the imagery in Ucello's painting to illustrate some of the main unconscious themes in Analytical Psychology. He explores the ways in which such themes can work out in individual development, bringing about growth through creative change. He especially uses Ucello's portrayal of masculine and feminine in this painting to show how the struggle between and eventual reconciliation of the opposites in the individual can help to develop the potential for self-realisation.

9. No Death, No Change, Rosemary Gordon

Dr Gordon draws extensively on both Analytical Psychology and anthropology in the exploration of her main thesis that even as the existence of death is the pre-condition for the evolution of all species, its recognition is similarly necessary for the individuation process in the individual person. Recalling Jung's suggestion that birth and death are both part of the same integral process of life, she shows how deeply implicated the symbolic meaning of death is in many psychological processes and discusses the motif of re-birth, of especial significance in Analytical Psychology. Dr Gordon demonstrates that being open to symbolic death experiences like change and loss may potentiate the individuation process in the individual, leading to fuller self-realisation.

10. - NOT AVAILABLE

11. Loss, Change, Creativity, Rosemary Gordon, Gerald Wooster

"A changeless world is unthinkable. But every change brings loss and every loss brings some pain. Can we endure?" A Freudian and Jungian exchange of views.

12. Through the Unknown Remembered Gate, Esther Green

Esther Green explores some archetypal themes in seperation-individuation processes. Migration, or living in a culture other than one's own, is often an attempt to assert one's autonomy and to differentiate from one's original culture, including parental complexes. Case material is used to illustrate these themes.

13. The Collective Background of Child Sexual Abuse, Guggenbühl-Craig

14. - NOT AVAILABLE

16. Eve: Reflections on the Psychology of the First Disobedient Woman and Her Partner, Judith Hubback

19. The Clinical Use of Fairy Tales, Verena Kast

20. Analytical Psychology and its Roots in Great Britain, Thomas Kirsch

21. - NOT AVAILABLE

22. Kandinsky: Genius and Narcissistic Disorder, Rushi Ledermann

In this talk Rushi Lederman discusses how, in her view, Kandinsky's personality displayed important features of narcissistic disorder. This psychological condition led to enormous suffering in his private life, in particular in his relationship to women, but also gave rise to sublime artistic creation. She will illustrate her thesis with a number of slides.

23. Interpretations: Uses and Misuses, Rushi Ledermann

Ledermann describes how interpretations arise and may be a bridge between patient and therapist. The therapist interprets defenses, transference, dreams. Interpretations may be contra-indicated when for example the patient is in a regressed fused state or the therapist is speaking from her/his undigested feelings. Clinical examples illustrate the main themes.

24. Masks of the Self, Hilary Mantel, Jane Haynes

In dialogue with themselves and each other on the realtionship of the Persona to the Self.

25. Jung and Woman's Search for Meaning, Norah Moore

26. The Mindless Body in Action, Christopher Perry, Jan Wiener

Using clinical experience and aspects of recent theory, Wiener explores the kind of bodily communication which may arise from early difficulties between mother and baby in this area. She illustrates the conditions which facilitate the development in analysis of body language and the capacity for reflection. Perry introduces the concept of personalisation - the capacity to be somebody , who can also relate to somebody else. He discusses the part played by each parent in the development of this capacity and shows how in analysis the patient may become able to be more embodied.

29. The Archetype of the Child Revisited, Barry Proner

This is a delightful account of a short piece of work with a child who was experiencing her parents separating from one another. The analyst enters into the child's world in a most touching and impressively effective way. The talk also includes a comprehensive evocation of the child archetype.

30. Jung, Women, Wolves, Hazel Robinson

Jung has been thought to value the feminine highly - surrounding himself with women, and incorporating female psychology into his theories. There is now also a growing body of work about the feminine in mythology. But some contemporary feminist writers are questioning how Jung's 'feminine' relates to feminism. This talk will bring together some of the ideas. Participants will be invited to contribute their own perspectives on Jung, the feminine, and feminism. This talk complements that by David Tacey 'Remaking Men: Archetypes, Masculinity and Society'.

31. The Mirror and the Hammer, Andrew Samuels

32. Against Nature, Andrew Samuels

33. Jungian Psychology and Ancient Gnosticism, Robert Segal

A lively academic account of parallels between gnostic and Jungian beliefs. Jung's use of gnostic texts as evidence of the collective unconscious and as myths about the emergence of ego consciousness discussed among other themes.

34. - NOT AVAILABLE

35. Remaking Men: Archetypes, Masculinity and Society, David Tacey

Over the recent years, there has been much discussion about the role of Jungian archetypes in 'remaking' men. In the general popularisation of Jung's ideas, aspects of Jung's theories have been modified to suit various popular and personal needs. In particular a disturbing 'Jungian fundamentalism' has arisen in the application of archetype to gender issues. The lecture explores contemporary identity, masculinity and the role of archetypes in the modern world. This talk complements that by Hazel Robinson on 7th June: 'Jung, women, wolves'.

36. Conversations without Words, Elizabeth Urban

This paper is about non-verbal communication, its source in the mother-infant relationship, and analytic conversations which do not use words.

37. - NOT AVAILABLE

38. Christmas and the Winter Solstice, Mary Wilson

39. The Case of Hansel & Gretel, Jack Zipes

40. On Trying to Lead a Well Balanced Life, Louis Zinkin

Zinkin relates that when his colleagues heard this title some wondered if it was possible to lead a well balanced life, others questioned whether it was desirable. Zinkin covers many aspects of Jungian theory in particular the psyche's tendency to balance, or compensate. He speaks of an 'individuation crisis' as a model for change.

41. THE MILLENIUM CONFERENCE TAPES – see below for titles

42. Women and Desire: ‘Beyond Wanting to be Wanted’, Polly Young-Eisendrath

43. - NOT AVAILABLE

44. Memories, Fantasies, Archetypes, Jean Knox

Respect for unconscious processes is at the heart of Jung's theories. This talk aims to help us understand these processes from the prespective of models of the mind generated from the findings of modern science. Academic psychologists mostly now investigate the ways in which the human mind makes sense of information, stores it and retrieves it from memory; cognitive scientists accept that much of this 'information processing' goes on unconsciously and they are very interested in the relationship between conscious and unconscious processes. The experimental evidence offered by these scientists therefore is highly relevant to psychotherapists and can help us to update our psychodynamic models. For example, in relation to memory, science can help us understand the issues around 'recovered memories' and 'false memory syndrome'. A better understanding of memory processes can also help us to update our models of the nature of fantasy; does the concept of instinctual drives or that of attachment theory offer an account which fits better with experimental evidence? The evidence also illuminates our questions about innate structures, such as archetypes, which, Jung argues, underpin mental processes.

Secondly, Carole Angier will explore her own relationship to her subject and teh experinece of wrioting about her, and find sine parallels between the two journeys.
