elcome to Jung Downunder 2009.
We have a programme of rich and
varied events ahead and hope
that in these interesting times you may find
sustenance here for heart and soul.
The upheavals of contemporary life provide
the impetus for our lead article ‘Ascent from the
Abyss’ by Lenore Kulakauskas. Here she considers
how we may respond to today’s challenges in the
world from an engaged awareness that takes us
beyond an egoic view point to a consciousness
that deepens and expands our relationship to the
world. Further reflections on the interplay between
personal and social life can be found in our book
reviews of Clive Hamilton’s The Freedom Paradox
and Lynn Hume’s and Kathleen McPhillip’s Popular
Spiritualities.
Many of our programmed events also explore the
relationship between the life of the individual and
community. In March Roger Brooke will talk about
Jung’s contributions to an understanding of the
Oedipus Complex, and then present a workshop
‘The Family Romance’ to explore our primary
formative relationships. Pam Stavroupolous’s
May talk ‘The Politics of Depression’ challenges
the perception that depression is an exclusively
2 JUNGDOWNUNDER
individual disorder, suggesting rather that it as an
illness whose causes arise in part from the social
and political fabric of life. While on a somewhat
sweeter note Frith Luton considers collective
life from an instinctual and mythic realm in her
presentation ‘Circumambulating the Centre: The
Symbolism of the Bee, the Honey and the Hive’.
Our first and last presentations of this programme
focus on the psyche’s response to trauma and
change. In February we welcome Ernest Hartmann,
a world-renowned dream researcher, who presents
his recent research on dreaming, with reference to
the interplay of dreams and trauma. ‘Can These
Bones Live?’ is the evocative title of Lucy Davey’s
talk in June in which she reflects on the challenges
of coping with change in her exploration of the
richly symbolic Biblical story of Ezekiel.
In addition to these stimulating and thoughtful
presentations we offer two ongoing courses
for the first half of the year. The first is a James
Hillman reading group led by Peter Dicker which
will consider Hillman’s writings on all things
imaginable. The second is a course I am facilitating
entitled ‘Engaging Dreams’ which is designed to
stimulate and enliven your dreamwork practice.
There is something here for everyone – we hope
you agree and that you will be inspired to come
and participate in our community to explore the
relationship between psyche and world.
Jung Downunder looks so good because we are
most blessed to have Tim Hartridge as our graphic
designer – my thanks to him for the very generous
donation of his talents and time to this publication.
My great thanks also to rest of the production team
– Tori Collins, Lucy Davey, and Jon Marshall who
edit and proofread alongside myself.
I look forward to meet with you soon.
Sally Gillespie, President
FRom the Committee
2008 was an exciting and satisfying year for
us with Society membership numbers growing
significantly and our events being well-attended.
Much credit for this goes to Tim Hartridge who has
put so much creative effort into uplifting our public
face through our Jung Downunder publications
and website. Tori Collins has ably assisted Tim
particularly in maintaining the website, and
also in keeping up with the growing technical
demands of each meeting with data projection and
recording. Thanks are also due to the tremendous
organisational abilities of Lenore Kulakauskas
who so expertly administers our growing number
of events and an expanding database. Lenore’s
innovations have been many and ongoing,
enabling us to grow effectively. Marcel Abarca
has ably stepped up to the position of Treasurer
following Monica Roman’s resignation due to
ill-health. We are exceedingly grateful to Monica
and Marcel for so efficiently getting our finances in
excellent order.
Our horizons have also expanded thanks to the
adventurous ideas of our Executive Committee.
Following the July panel on Depth Psychology and
Climate Change, Jon Marshall has undertaken to
edit and oversee the production of a Jung Society
publication on the same topic inviting a number
of contributors to participate. This is our first foray
into publishing, marking an exciting new chapter in
our development. We eagerly anticipate the book
launch in the second half of 2009.
Yolanda Waldman has taken the initiative to
foster a relationship between ourselves and the
Australasian College of Natural Therapies, where
she lectures. This has resulted in a generous
offer from the College to use their rooms for our
courses and to be linked to their website. This is a
great opportunity to introduce ourselves to a new
community.
June Reynolds continues to take every
opportunity she finds herself in to spread the
words of our presence and events, and to warmly
welcome newcomers to our meetings while Bo
Robertson took us to Spain this year organising a
very festive Christmas Party at Captain Torres with
fine food.
Lucy Davey has been as busy as ever in the library
organising our ever- burgeoning shelves, ably
–assisted by both Yolanda and Lenore. Jon Marshall
has imported many new and exciting Jungian titles
in for our bookstall while Lesley Hamlyn continues
to act as our all-rounder turning her hand and wits
to all tasks on hand.
I am extremely fortunate to be the President of
such a talented Committee and am continually
buoyed by their commitment, support and passion.
We are a merry crew, and there is always room
for one more, so please contact any one of us if
you would like to become a part of a great joint
venture. My thanks to everyone for their significant
contributions.

Engaging in Everyday Life Through a Jungian Perspective
The Theory
In advertising her address to the Analytical
Psychology Club of New York at their Annual
Dinner, Heide Kolb, Jungian Analyst wrote:
The Jungian approach is unique. It is not only
a method to treat psychological problems, but
also a unique way of perceiving and engaging
in everyday life.
The everyday life of western society,
embedded in consumerism and indoctrinated
in the language of the Market, has hit a
huge pothole, indeed a veritable abyss.
The perspective of the Business Model has
infiltrated governments, education, industry,
communities and families. Now it is unravelling.
Its adherents are shaken, fearful and adrift.
New perspectives are urgently needed.
A perspective that encourages a conscious
awareness of the psychology of what is going
on in the world around us is required. One
which meets this requirement is the ‘universal’
perspective espoused in Jungian and post-
Jungian discourse.
This perspective, developed by the
post- Jungian Wolfgang Giegerich, does
not favour ego-consciousness but instead
purposefully includes non-ego thought in the
thinking process. Inclusion does not mean
appropriation. It means admitting an image,
dream or fantasy as something deserving of
thought, albeit in a special way. This way allows
the non-ego image to be observed as a thing in
itself, yet still intimately attached, allowing both
ego and non-ego to live comfortably with each
other, not as opposites but as dual dwellers.
The Experience
A 54-year old woman had a dream in 1998.
I am driving up a hill. There is a park and an
oval on the left hand side and a single shop
on the other side. It is called the Virgo shop.
I park the car beside a white wooden fence
bordering the park. I cross the street and go
into the shop. I am surprised how bare the
shop is. There are white floorboards and dried
tortured willow branches in a large vase.

There aren’t many books. A couple of
other people are talking to the owner.
They don’t notice me so I leave. Next I
am driving through a city. There is a lot
of traffic, pedestrians and red traffic
lights. I seem to be driving round and
round in circles, but then I make a left
hand turn and see a familiar church.
I drive up a hill onto a curved road
which turns into a dirt track. Now I
am on top of a ridge. I see what looks
like a new sub-division. I drive in. The
houses are unusual and people are
working on them. Some people are
lifting a large slab of wood up above
large glass walls. I speak to them but
they don’t answer. I don’t think they
can see me. I leave the sub-division
and drive out onto another dirt road.
I come across a group of children
sitting in a semi-circle around an old
woman who has her back to me.
She is dressed in blue. I stop. The old
woman turns to me and says: “Look
behind you.” I turn around. The most
incredibly beautiful scene lies before
me. Steep purple mountains on either
side slope down to a beautiful blue
lake, which continues on to a distant
cutting where I know it will join the
sea. The trees on the mountains are
a riot of colour – autumn tones of
reds, oranges and golds even though
6 JUNGDOWNUNDER
it isn’t autumn. It takes my breath
away with its beauty. I could look at it
forever. I turn back. The old woman
said “That’s not all.” I look again and
see a similar beauteous scene. But
then I become aware that buildings
have appeared on my left – the colours
have disappeared. Now I see row upon
row of high-rise buildings but as I look
closer I can see they are deserted,
some in ruins. There are people too
but they are like wraiths, skeletal,
dressed in rags. I say to myself, “They
can’t see it! They can’t see it.”
When she first dreamt it, she tried to
understand it at a personal level but it
all seemed a bit fantastic, as if she had
dreamt something of mythic proportion,
hardly relevant to someone in the midst
of medication and therapy for a nervous
breakdown. It was a dream that almost
cried out to be given to others to look
at. And who was she to even find an
audience for it to be shared with?
It is 10 years later – 2008.
She is ready to share the dream after
much hard work and after recognition
that ‘she’ is but one avenue through
which ‘soul’ can access itself.
The dream could have been
appropriated and presented as ‘hers’,
but in so doing would have lost its

perspective…that needs to change…
universality and therefore its capacity to
inspire. In leaving the dream as a thing
in itself – attached to her, but only so
it had her as a potential outlet – she
had to position herself within a new
perspective, a perspective capable
of admitting dual occupancy of ego
and non-ego. Not two ‘personas’,
with which pop psychologists might
have a field day erroneously labelling
her schizophrenic, but a perspective
giving soul its rightful place alongside
ego. An occupancy where soul is not
an ‘unconscious’ underlay, but exists
simultaneously with rational thought.
Where soul is capable of being brought
into the thinking process on its own
terms, thus engendering a wider vision.
The Future
The post-Jungian, Wolfgang
Giegerich, wrote:
Jung once wrote that we always
dream from within the relationship.
We could extend this statement by
saying we always dream from within
the real psychological context that
we are in as well as from the more
superficial or deeper psychological
reality level that consciousness is open
to. But this applies not only to dream
thoughts. It applies to all non-ego
thinking.

’
In 1998 the dream was dreamt in the
real psychological context that she was
in as well as from the more superficial
or deeper psychological reality level that
consciousness was open to.
In Jungian terms this was a ‘big’
dream, an opus magnum. It was
more than an ego-based aid to
help the woman understand herself
better or imbue her own personal
circumstances with a mythic quality.
It aided in enabling her, eventually, to
acknowledge that contradictions could
exist side by side, to allow an awareness
that she was not outside the world, an
outsider choosing to become a part of
something else, but that the world was
part of her.
The monumental challenges we, as a
species, currently face, were no longer
‘out there’ but an integral part of who
she was.
The imperative is that we recognise
that it is our perspective, or how we
see things, that needs to change. Not
through the narrow lens of the ego
itself, nor an imaginary (yet still ego-
related) lens where compassion and
solutions are dealt with ‘out there.’ Ego
plus soul, conscious thought applied to
both. Here are the tools for the future to
help us ascend from the abyss.

Clive Hamilton’s new book is perhaps one
of the most important books to have entered
Australian popular discourse in the last ten
to twenty years. It should be read, but that
does not mean it cannot be disagreed with, as
disagreement is a tribute given to a work which
stimulates thought and questions.
H
amilton’s starting points are that
affluence and freedom are not enough
for a satisfactory life, and that following
our desires leads to a loss of inner freedom. We
can, he proclaims, only be free by following
a moral code—this is the paradox of the title.
He then may dismiss the relationship between
morality and politics too quickly, rendering
us isolate individuals. Our lives are shaped
by the forces around us, whether these are
conscious or unconscious. If we are trapped in
a shallow consumerism which leaves us empty
and depressed with little sense of direction
beyond consuming more, then that is a social
fact resulting from the kind of politics we,
and the society, pursue – and pursue up to its
destruction. When we resist the sirens, and help

others to resist, then our actions are political,
and we might as well make this conscious.
After this introduction, the book moves
into an exposition of some ideas of Kant and
Schopenhauer. Using these philosophers he
suggests that there is a radical difference between
things as they are perceived or understood
(the phenomenon) and things as they really
are (the noumenon or things-in-themselves).
While Kant proposes that we can never perceive
noumenon directly, Schopenhauer argues that
we do perceive our own existence and our bodies
immediately, and thus have access to at least
some noumenon through what he calls ‘intuition’.
Hamilton suggests that if this is the case then we
can anchor our morality in the intuition which
gives us experience of our common being. This
movement serves to complicate the idea that
morality depends solely upon ‘Reason’ or rational
calculation, and retrieves the role of emotion. His
aim would seem to be to separate spirituality and
morality from doctrinaire notions of the divine.
Later in the book he makes comparisons with
Jung’s theory of individuation, pointing out that in
becoming autonomous we bind ourselves to our
fellow humans, a development which Jungians
sometimes forget. He also suggests that art moves
us to the inner world, and that some artists can
manage the marriage of heaven and hell, or the
balancing of opposites within and without. At
this point, he can suggest that the noumenon
is beyond good and evil, and he mentions Van
Gogh’s work as showing the “elemental chaos of
the noumenon” (p.233).

There are minor quibbles
that could be made about his
exposition – for instance why
is it assumed that noumenon
must be “characterised by unity
and changelessness” (p.67)?
Everything we know about
them suggests that they are in
flux and constantly interacting
with other things so that they
exist in relationship, not in
themselves, and as mentioned
above they can appear chaotic.
Why is consciousness taken as
a primary given, when it seems
to be learnt and again in flux
and development? However
the main query to be put to the
author is: if, despite everyone
agreeing in general to the nature
of phenomenon, our perceptions
are structured by how we
perceive and thus are not equal
to the things-in-themselves, then
why do we not equally assume
that perceptions gained through
intuition or meditative states are
not also structured by how we
perceive them? For example, a
sense of noumenal timelessness
may be a result of the
perception, not of the perceived.
A Jungian might suggest that
our perceptions of noumenon
are structured by symbols and
archetypes. This points to the
main problem I have with his
argument. Namely it does
not seem to be the case that
perception of the noumenon,
mystical experience, or intuition,
automatically leads to what
Hamilton calls “metaphysical
empathy”, and a universal and
gentle morality. Our work does
not stop here.
Even the vaguest familiarity
with mystical experience
suggests that we could have a
Zen practicing and enlightened
Samurai who would kill peasants
he imagined might be being
disrespectful. We have the
mystics of Nazism. We have
born-again ecstatic Christians
affirming their right to endless
wealth, guns, first strike and so
on. If you shared the beliefs of
the Bali bombers, then you might
see their apparent happiness
and good humour as evidence
that they had indeed been
touched by God and seen the
true nature of things. These are
not positions that most of us,
including Clive Hamilton, would
be willing to claim as examples
of ethics the world needs more

R E V I EW
of. If we reject such contacts
with noumenon as unreal or
delusionary, that is because
we are already making a moral
decision. Therefore intuition of
the noumenon cannot be the
basis of that decision and these
kinds of experiences show that
mere contact with noumenon is
neither necessary nor sufficient
for a moral life.
The noumenon is part of our
unconscious – we are literally
not conscious of it, we are
conscious of phenomena.
Jung, to the objections of
many, never separated out
the super-conscious from the
subconscious. This was because
he recognised that the two can
be intertwined, and we often
approach the super-conscious
through the symbols provided
by the subconscious, and can
thus meet monsters on the way.
In the cases above, we could say
that people have experienced
the noumenon through the
archetype of an uncontained
Warrior or through a righteous
Lord of Destruction, and hence
their morality is the morality of
war and intolerance. We might
even postulate that their morality
JUNGDOWNUNDER 9
came first and shaped how they
perceived the ‘ground of being’. If
so, then Hamilton has indeed failed
to find a basis for morality. The
perception of universal sympathy,
which he aims for, is only one
possible result, and that sympathy, or
compassion, may be limited to fellow
believers. If this is so, then how do
we encourage people to experience
and act upon the knowledge that
we are all in this together? Indeed,
how do we know that this process of
perceiving noumenon is both good
and useful? How do we know that
people won’t twist it to serve their
selfish or limited ends? How indeed,
to ask one traditional question, do we
know that God is good?
Answers, I suggest, can only be
achieved if we work to discover how
unconscious processes (of the psyche,
the social and the ecology) structure
our lives, and learn not only how to
live with these processes, but with
the realities and sufferings of life,
without allocating blame to others
and making them our shadow, and
still managing to act in society. This is
a political and collective therapy, and
should not rush to conclusions before
it has begun. Clive Hamilton’s book
is an important step in that direction
and can be thoroughly recommended
for all who wish to explore these
issues.

Popular Spiritualities: The Politics
of Contemporary Enchantment
Edited by Lynne Hume and
Kathleen McPhillips
Ashgate Publishing Company,
Aldershot, UK, 2006.
Reviewed by Jacinta Frawley
Popular Spiritualities is a collection of essays exploring
the re-emergence of enchantment in the contemporary
West. The decline in traditional religions is the starting
point for a look at wildly divergent forms of spiritual
expression, and most interestingly, a look in places that
might traditionally be defined as soulless—popular culture,
the internet, mind-altering substances, literature, fantasy,
and political engagement.
K
athleen McPhillips, Senior Lecturer in the School
of Humanities at the University of Western Sydney,
was inspired to collect and edit the essays for her
students, who were seeking ways to recognise and re-
imagine contemporary spiritual and religious expression for
their communities and themselves. Those drawn to C.G.
Jung’s thoughts on the search for meaning will also find
much to engage their imaginations in this compilation.
The editors define enchantment as “the sensation when one
experiences events or circumstances that produce a sense of
the mysterious, the weird and the uncanny… re-enchantment
brings back the imagination and the possibility of magic into
our everyday lives” (xv). This is what Jung would have referred
to as the numinous.
The essays explore very diverse expressions of contemporary
spirituality, some bordering on traditional religious expression,

some so far removed as to seem
eccentric. The book is predicated
on the idea that “people are
searching for community,
meaning and something sacred
or supernatural, and that the
new spiritualities are eclectic,
imaginative, and experimental”
(xvi). The essays present case
studies of New Age practices,
modern vampirism, goddess
worship, and spiritual practices
drawing on and expressed
in various literary forms such
as comic books, horror and
fantasy literature, and myths
and legends. In tune with
current sensibilities, eco-
paganism is well described,
as groups engage spiritually
and politically to protect and
re-enchant the environment.
Indeed, the importance of place
as a container and source of
spirituality resonates through
many of these essays. Likewise
the role of community to define
and be defined by spiritual
practices is discussed in essays
on communities as diverse as
goddess worshipers, drummers,
and gay communities.
In particular I was drawn to
three essays. Bob Hodge, writing
on spiritual tourism, encourages
us to think about the meaning
of travel. The spiritual impulse
behind travel is easily lost as
spiritual pilgrims, seduced
by cheap airfares and hotel
packages, become tourists,
and return home vaguely
disappointed that their journey
became not a holy-day but a
vacant vacation.
Closer to traditional religious
experience is McPhillips’ essay
on modern Marian devotion.
McPhillips discusses three recent
Australian appearances of the
Virgin Mary—in Yankalilla, South
Australia, Rockingham, Western
Australia, and Coogee, New
South Wales—and wonders
about the intertwining of visions
of saints, and the significance of
the particular place of the visions,
in forming and de-forming
belief.
Death is the universal certainty
that we share with every other
animate being, yet it is the
most individual of experiences.
Margaret Gibson’s essay on
memory and immortality
discusses the role of public
grieving as providing meaning
and comfort to the individual,
BOOK
REVIEW
as well as uniting and defining
communities.
Popular Spiritualities is
an academic text, so some
adventurousness is required
with technical terms. And the
adventure is well rewarded.
Who of us know, for instance,
that sociologists have a word
that describes the study “of
the means by which one might
be saved”? Soteriology, from
the Greek for salvation, studies
activities such as meditation,
guidance practices, spiritual
healing, and presumably more
traditional means of salvation
such as prayer and good works.
The essays in this challenging
and engaging book resonate
with several recent Jung Society
talks discussing the search for
meaning in clinical settings—in
particular, Peter Dicker’s talk on
Dionysus, Robert Bosnak’s work
on dreams, and Kath McPhillips’
own recent talk on Marion
Woodman. All look at the role
of healing, the numinous, self-
identity and individuation. The
language may differ but the wish
to re-enchant the world, and
ourselves, is universal.

Special regard will be given to the
Central Image of the dream, which
appears to carry the emotional power
of the dream, and in the simplest case, 1 Dreaming is part of a continuum of
pictures the dreamer’s underlying
emotion. Thus when a dreamer
who has had a past experience of
trauma dreams of a tidal wave, the
Central Image – "I was swept away

way) after trauma or stress. Among

Roger Brooke Ph.D.
After this theoretical introduction,
members will have an opportunity
to reflect on some of the images and
memories in their family histories.With
a Jungian sensibility, participants will
be lead to the archetypal significance
of these experiences in the constitution
of their psychic lives. Among the
themes we might visit: attachment
and separation, light and dark, spirit
and matter, trust, psychic flexibility,
gender identity, authority, and death.
Participants will not be required to
disclose personal information they
would rather keep private, but they will
be invited to share with others some of
their experiences if they wish.

 JAMES HILLMAN

‘ Sooner or later something seems to call us onto a

particular path... this is what I must do, this is what
I've got to have. This is who I am.

’
James Hillman is arguably one of the most exciting and challenging
writers in the contemporary Jungian scene. Many readers find his
work breath-taking, not just for the sheer audacity of his ideas but also
for the poetic and original style of his writing. Join Peter Dicker in this
exploration of Hillman's work.

H
illman’s work builds on
the premise, implicit in Jung’s
writings, that psyche can be
addressed in its own right, different
in perspective from spirit and matter,
yet forever intertwined with them as
well. From this premise Hillman has
been able to open up the possibilities,
(more than any other depth
psychologist, one might argue), for
where we might expect to encounter
psyche. As a consequence, his work
ranges broadly across many areas
of concern including love, suicide,
nature, cities and buildings, families,
animals, money, sex, masturbation,
war, terrorism and, of course, dreams.
In all his forays into the world ‘out
there’ Hillman continually invites us to
go down into the experience, seeking
the poetic essence at the heart of
things and experiences.
The readings planned for this group
will hopefully provide something of a
wine and cheese occasion, with many
sharp flavours to savour in small, blue-
veined bites

he symbolism of the bee,
honey and the hive intertwine
but at the core is the imagery
of the circumambulation of the
centre – for bees, this is a dynamic
in the service of the queen bee
and the preservation of the hive.
In depth psychological terms,
circumambulation is linked with
mandala symbolism or the archetype
of inner order, an archetype that
Jung said was perhaps the most
important.
This centre or inner directed focus, a
dynamic of movement (circulation or
rotation) around a centre is not only

instinct but also quintessential in what
CG Jung expresses, in descriptions
rich in alchemical imagery, of the
psychological individuation process in
which the centre is named the Self or
inner god-image.
This lecture involves an approach
to the alchemical union of opposites
through symbolism related to the
life and nature of the bee. Some
particular opposites associated with
the bee, honey and the hive include
those of love and war, sweetness
and bitterness, the individual and
multiplicity, light and dark, order and
chaos, industry and laziness, earth
and heaven/the sky, sun and moon,

 The Politics of
Liberal Values and Emotional Health
Pam Stavropoulos Ph.D.
Depression is prevalent throughout western society. But
while identifying `risk factors’, we rarely make the link
to the liberal value system that so shapes the society in
which we live. `Individualism’, `freedom’ and `equality’ are
celebrated ideals. But they also harbour a `shadow side’
which is not conducive to emotional health, and which can
incubate depression in various forms.

W
ith reference to my book
Living under Liberalism:
the Politics of Depression
in Western Democracies, I will discuss
what I believe to be links between the
high incidence of depression and key
values of our culture. Necessarily this
raises questions about what `mental
health’ is considered to be. What,
in our society, are the characteristics
of being emotionally well? What is
the template for the psychologically
healthy person, and what kind of
subjectivity do we assume to be
optimal?
Given the dominance of liberal
values in our society, ideas about
emotional health are more shaped by
an individualist bias than we realize.
Autonomy, independence and self-
reliance are touchstones of mature
functioning, even though relationality
and interdependence most define our
existence. I will discuss how the tension
between the `ideals’ of our culture
and our lived reality lead to disjuncture
between the way we feel and the
way we think we `should’ be. Such
a disconnection also leads to a high
incidence of depression.

‘ When barriers built up by the years are broken

down, the unconscious spontaneously… irrupts into
the conscious mind like a torrent.

’
C.G. Jung Two Essays on Analytical Psychology (CW 7:§470)

I
n this talk Lucy Davey examines
a number of images described
verbally in the book of the prophet
Ezekiel. The work includes fascinating
narratives which aim to present an
account of Ezekiel’s battle to absorb
and come to terms with overwhelming and interpretation for elements such
changes in his life circumstances.
Ezekiel recounts visions and describes
tasks he is set. As he conveys his
struggles to accept the reality of his
situation, he also learns that the pain
of loss of the familiar can be further
intensified and extended. While not
aiming to be a complete reading
of the Book of Ezekiel, the talk will
explore different layers of meaning
as the valley of the bones, the chariot,
the wheels and the new city.

Lucy Davey is a long-time member of the Jung Society of Sydney. Her interest in
Jung’s ideas is maintained because they offer a rich approach to the developments
of life, and encourage a variety of responses to changes which occur to the
individual. Lucy has been tutoring and lecturing at the University of Sydney over the
past ten years.

Professional Developm
2009 Events for Sydney,
Melbourne, Perth and
Christchurch NZ
ANZSJA is pleased to announce that it will be running 3 professional
development events in 4 cities across Australia and New Zealand in 2009. This
series of lectures and one day seminars explores how contemporary Jungian
analysts from Australia and New Zealand use aspects of Jung’s work in their
clinical practice. The presentations and discussions will be grounded in clinical
examples drawn from a wide spectrum of presenting issues. Emphasis will,
however, be placed on how Jungian and post-Jungian understandings of
psychological processes and structures can be used to work with people who
have disorders of the self and other complex presenting patterns. The lectures
and seminars are open to clinicians of any background whether they are
familiar with Jung’s work or not.

Jungian Analysis:
Symbolisation and the Structure of the Unconscious
Location 1: Christchurch (NZ).
Friday night lecture: 27th March, Saturday seminar/workshop: 28th March
Location 2: Perth (WA).
Friday night lecture: 31st July, Saturday seminar/workshop: 1st August
Jung viewed the generation of imagery (a process know as symbolisation) as the basis of
therapeutic and psychological change. For Jung, this process of symbolisation was a function of
the structure and operation of the unconscious and the images produced by the psyche in this
way point beyond themselves, reflecting something yet unknown. This lecture and seminar will
explore Jung’s understanding of the structure and workings of the unconscious (dissociable,
tending to form complexes, tending to symbolise, etc.) and how those understandings can
be used in clinical work.
Presenters: Dr Sue Austin (Sydney, NSW) and Andre Zanardo (Perth, WA)

30 JUNGDOWNUNDER
ment Program
Jungian Analysis:
The Nature of The Psyche and Processes of Therapeutic Change
Location: Melbourne. Friday night lecture: 8th May,
Saturday seminar/workshop: 9th May
The focus of this lecture and seminar is Jung’s idea that change is inherent in the nature of the
psyche, and that this, and the psyche’s self-regulating character can be used as the basis of the
therapeutic process. These discussions will also look at the role of the therapeutic relationship
in clinical work, focusing on Jung’s observation that clinicians cannot influence their clients
unless they are available to be influenced by the client.
Presenters: Alison Clark (Sydney, NSW), Dr Leslie Devereaux (Canberra, ACT) and Joy Norton
(Melbourne, VIC).

Jungian Analysis:
The Personal and Collective Psyche - Therapy as a Process of
Individuation
Location: Sydney
Friday night lecture: 6th November, Saturday seminar/workshop: 7th November
This lecture and seminar will focus on Jung’s ideas about the personal and collective layers of
the psyche, archetypes, and analysis / therapy as a process of individuation.
Presenters: Andrew Gresham (Christchurch, NZ) and Dr John Merchant (Sydney, NSW),.

Please note: these events will rotate between Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Christchurch NZ
over the next 3 years ensuring that by the end of 2011 each event will have run in each city.

Jungian Analysis:
The Self as Process in Theory and Practice
It is also our pleasure to announce that Warren Colman, senior training analyst at the Society
for Analytical Psychology in London and co-editor of the Journal of Analytical Psychology, will
