Jung and ChristianityKathleen Wiley, MHDL, LCMHC, LMFT

The premise we start from is and remains Christianity, which covers anything from eleven to nineteen centuries of Western life.

– C. G. Jung, (CW 9ii, par. 271)

The seminar will explore Jung’s thoughts on Christianity and Christ as a symbol of the Self. We will consider Jung’s family of origin as the backdrop of his theories. We will explore the role of religious symbols as connections to psychic (archetypal) energies.

We will encounter how the symbol of Christ serves to connect ego with the Self. We will reflect on our personal and collective understandings that hinder and facilitate individuation. We will connect the thoughts to clinical material as appropriate.

Objectives: The participants will:

1. Understand the context of Jung’s viewpoints in light of his family of origin constellation that included multiple parsons and physicians.

2. Gain a working knowledge of the role of Christianity’s symbols in the collective psyche of the Western world.

3. Be able to utilize Christian symbols as expressions of psychic energies, i.e., archetypes.

The Philadelphia Jung Seminar Syllabus 2020 – 2021

4. Track the individuation instinct as it moves through religious impulses. 5. Understand Christ as a symbol of the Self. 6. Relate the material to their psyche’s experience of Christianity.

Assignment: Write a 2-3 page paper exploring your relationship to Christianity and the archetype of Christ and how it informs you about psyche. This is an invitation to find the points of connection between the symbolic and the psychological. Please email the paper to me by September 2. My email address is wileyjungiananalyst@gmail.com.
