In a time marked by global mental health crises, social upheaval, and environmental uncertainty, the wisdom of depth psychology has never been more relevant—yet it remains widely underutilized. This one-of-a-kind graduate-level certificate course in Contemporary Analytical Psychology and Neo-Jungian Studies offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage deeply with world recognized authorities in Analytical Psychology and Neo-Jungian Studies whose individual and collective scholarship continue to shape the contours and influence the trajectory of the theory and practice of Jungian Psychoanalytic work.  Designed in collaboration with Jungianeum, this certificate program aims to continue our exploration of the current polycrisis by inviting our speakers to focus on clinical cases and explore analytical psychology from a clinical perspective. This will help students gain insight into the process of individuation “clinically” through the many valuable tools offered by analytical psychology.

Over the span of 14 weeks, participants will explore how Analytical Psychology addresses pressing psychological and cultural challenges—

• Love (when it does not exist because it is a projection)
• Freedom and how to reach “absolute freedom”
• Gender Identity and Trauma in connection with Art and Dreams
• Individuation (Through the Lens of Active Imagination)
• The concept of Integrity and Individuation
• Looking at the current Poly-crisis aiming at Individual and Collective Liberation
• Art and Psyche in Clinical Practice
• The “Three-Tiered Systems Model of Interaction
• Psyche and Soma (A Holistic Approach to Understanding the Mind-Body Connection)
• Synchronicity and Healing
• How Human Consciousness Develops Through Untangling the Dyad
• Phantom Anchors and the Ghosts of Unclaimed Selves in Third Culture Kids: Art Therapy for Survivors of Sexual Abuse
• Adult Female Development From the Perspective of C. G. Jung’s Psychology

Each module offers a dynamic mix of live Zoom sessions, pre-recorded lectures, and experiential exercises, creating a rich environment for both professional development and personal insight.

This course is ideal for clinicians, educators, scholars, artists, and seekers interested in the transformative potential of Jungian and post-Jungian frameworks. Whether you’re deepening your therapeutic practice, pursuing research, or embarking on a personal journey of individuation, this certificate offers access to a living lineage of analytical thought adapted to the complexities of our contemporary world. Participants will emerge with new tools for clinical practice, expanded theoretical understanding, and an enriched connection to the symbolic life of the psyche.

Love Does Not Exist Without Absolute Freedom: A Clinical Case – Dr. Stephano Carpani

This lecture offers an interdisciplinary inquiry into the modern self by comparing C.G. Jung’s concept of individuation, Ulrich Beck’s theory of individualization, and Zygmunt Bauman’s notion of liquidity. Carpani argues that in our contemporary “second modern” societies—characterized by radical individualization, flexibility, and instability—there emerges a renewed and urgent need for individuation. Against the backdrop of widespread anomie, where identity formation is unmoored and freedom becomes a burden rather than a promise, Carpani explores how psychoanalytic tools can provide deeper insight into today’s fragmented narratives of selfhood. Positioning Jung’s psychology as a necessary counterpart to sociological accounts, he propose a shift from sociological critique toward a psychosocial framework that incorporates the unconscious. To demonstrate this, Carpani offers a clinical vignette of a young woman reporting emptiness, relational breakdown, and a sense of being “stuck”—symptoms of broken individualization rather than signs of individuation. The second part of the lecture—titled Love Does Not Exist (When It Is a Projection)—presents a detailed clinical case rooted in five years of clinical work. Through 23 dreams, Carpani traces psychic development, self-regulation, and the individuation process beyond sociological adaptation.

Archetypal Underpinning of Women’s Resistance to Sexual Violence – Naomi Azriel

The classical figure of Cassandra represents a person with an unusual capacity to recognize that which the collective has repressed. The Cassandra complex is a Jungian concept that emphasizes the problematic aspects of such a person’s psychology. Seen from a broader perspective, this complex has another side. The collective who is unable to hear the “Cassandra” individual might be over identified with Apollonian values of order, harmony, and reason. In order to work on the Cassandra complex such that new growth can occur, both the Cassandra and the Apollonian sides of the complex need to develop and change.

This course will invite its participants into a feminist re-visioning of the Cassandra complex, as well as other mythical figures such as Persephone and Medusa, as a framework for exploring the archetypal dynamics behind universally prevalent sexual violence, and the general cultural complicity in it. We will look at popular culture depictions of women’s resistance to sexual violence, and examine the ways in which Jungian thinking can hold a scaffolding for profound social and cultural change. What would it take for us to live in a world in which women’s lives are not constrained by sexual violence in its myriad forms?

The Way of Individuation (Through the Lens of Active Imagination) – Dr. Murray Stein

Jung’s concept of individuation as a lifelong psychological and spiritual developmental process relies heavily on the practice of active imagination. His own experience in creating his Red Book serves as an example of how to work with fantasy material generated by the practice of active imagination. Active imagination is engagement with an inner process of Self-realization that is running on its own schedule, and it provides the materials to build the structure of the transcendent function. Active imagination allows consciousness to participate in and to integrate the process of the Self’s spontaneous unfolding into the life of the individual. In the lecture, I will describe how and when and why to use active imagination in psychoanalysis and in life. I will also discuss the history and background of Jung’s practice and why he thought it was important to include it in his clinical work. Some examples from Jung’s writings and from the author’s practice will be shared to put flesh on the bones of theory. Key words: active imagination, individuation, transcendent function, ego, Self.

 

Week 4: Saturday December 13, 2025

8:00am – 9:30am PT/ 11:00am – 12:30pmET / 3:00pm – 4:30pmUCT

Integrity and Individuation – Dr. John Beebe

This lecture will present the clinical course of an analytical psychotherapy patient for whom integrity became a central issue. Drawing upon understandings he pioneered for Jungian psychology in his 1992 book Integrity and Depth and the series of essays that followed, such as “Integrity in the Analytic Relationship,” “Toward a Jungian Analysis of Character,” and “The Place of Integrity in Spirituality,” Jungian analyst and psychiatrist John Beebe will illustrate how his patient’s psyche was signaling, enacting, and trying to realize its need for integrity. Dr. Beebe will revisit other writings of his on the clinical use of dreams, the I Ching, and psychological types to show how working on integrity applies not just to individual psychotherapy but also to crisis intervention, couple work and clinical supervision. Describing the archetypal roles persona, trickster, anima and animus play in the individuation of integrity, he will describe how in treatment a maturing psyche will want not just to recognize shadow issues but also to construct an ethical attitude that can contain them. The case presentation will reveal how improvements in the integrity of the self can foster healing synchronicities, the  recognition of cultural and intergenerational complexes, and the construction of new cultural attitudes.

 

Week 5: Saturday January 17, 2026

A Radical Anamnesis for Individual and Collective Liberation – Mary Watkins, Ph.D.

History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do…

And it is with great pain and terror that one begins to realize this. But, in fact, this is what education, or enlightenment, really means… (James Baldwin, “The White Problem in America”).

How should we lay hold of the future, how should we assimilate it, unless we are in possession of the human experience which the past has bequeathed to us. Dispossessed of this, we are without root and without perspective (C. G. Jung, C.W. 17, Par.250)

While psychotherapy successfully unveils the effects of our childhood history on our psychological experience and actions, it often fails to help us grasp the intergenerational impacts of our ancestral histories. These histories largely determine how we are placed in the world in terms of ethnicity, nationality, the construct of race, and degrees of class privilege or oppression. The perspectives, struggles, and afflictions of our ancestors silently bleed through the generations, impacting us and our relationships with others. How might we reimagine the process of individuation to include a more radical anamnesis, a history taking, for historical “enlightenment” and collective liberation?

 

Week 6: Saturday February 7, 2026

8:00am – 9:30am PT/ 11:00am – 12:30pmET / 3:00pm – 4:30pmUCT

Art and Psyche: Clinical Practice Using the “Three-Tiered Systems Model of Interaction”- Linda Carter, MSN, CS, IAAP, (USA)

Often, we sense patterns in paintings, music, poetry, literature, film, and dance that reflect deep emotional, cognitive, and body experiences; and a resonant field is co-created, imagination is ignited, and awareness of oneself as belonging to a larger whole emerges. Immersion in art allows us to recognize ourselves and shift self-perception and perception of the surrounding world that may potentially be life changing, but often in quite indirect ways. The surreptitious penetration of art moves around and through consciousness and flows as a river connecting and enlivening aspects long forgotten or not yet born. Emotions stimulated by art, like Hermes, cross boundaries and link domains, often without words. Art and emotion tend to have an immediacy touching multiple modes of sensation simultaneously; whereas, explicit, cognitive comprehension takes more time to move through neocortical pathways. With patience and faith, patterns emerge from the fog, and we can see through to something that perhaps has always been there, but we were unable to grasp it. Once beheld, emotion and cognition can then dance together as companionable partners. It is a relaxed attitude without focused concentration that brings forward creative imagination. Play is the essence of analysis and of life itself but is diminishing globally, to the detriment of all. I will present analytic work with an artist and demonstrate the value of the “Three-tiered Systems Model of Interaction” that is at the core of the book that I am writing on clinical practice in analytical psychology.

 

Week 7: Saturday February 28, 2026

8:00am – 9:30am PT/ 11:00am – 12:30pmET / 3:00pm – 4:30pmUCT

Psyche and Soma – A Holistic Approach to Understanding the Mind-Body Connection – Renate Daniel, M.D.

This lecture explores the foundational contributions of Carl Gustav Jung to our understanding of the mind-body relationship, focusing particularly on his Complex Theory and his insights into emotions, imagination, and the creative dynamics of the psyche. Jung’s perspective offers a powerful framework for addressing contemporary research on placebo effects and psychoneuroimmunology—the interactions between psychological processes and the immune system. By reframing the origins of illness beyond simplistic notions of root causes, guilt, or blame, Jung’s approach allows for a more integrative and compassionate understanding of health and disease. The lecture emphasizes that prevention and healing of physical ailments are incomplete without recognizing the role of the psyche. Selected case studies from clinical practice will illustrate how psychological insight can illuminate somatic symptoms and guide therapeutic interventions.

 

Week 8: Saturday, March 14,2026

8:00am – 9:30am PT/ 11:00am – 12:30pmET / 3:00pm – 4:30pmUCT

Synchronicity and Healing– Joseph Cambray, Ph.D.

The healing associated with synchronistic phenomena can be understood in terms of a holism that integrates the non-rational into our world view. In particular healing from traumas, whether of personal, collective, cultural or ecological levels, are often marked by synchronistic experience. This is also true at key points in the individuation process. In this class we will look at the origins of the concept of synchronicity, which emerged from C. G. Jung’s own healing as

chronicled in the Black Books and The Red Book. This will include the evolution and intertwining of individuation and synchronicity in Jung’s model of the psyche.

Application of complexity theory will provide a theoretical framework for an expanded look at healing associated with non-ordinary states of consciousness. By including psychoid aspects of archetypes the healing processes we will discuss will impact the psychosomatic and spiritual dimensions of our being in relation to the world. Cultivation of the psychoid imagination will be explored for its beneficial influence. Synthesizing the various strands of this class will orient us towards a deeper healing potential in the re-enchantment of the world. The class will include numerous clinical examples from the presenter’s practice and in the workshop portion opportunities will be give for ways to further explore and extend the topics into attendees’ lives.

 

Week 9: Saturday March 28, 2026

8:00am – 9:30am PT/ 11:00am – 12:30pmET / 3:00pm – 4:30pmUCT

Two, Not One: How Human Consciousness Develops Through Untangling the Dyad, not Examining One’s Mind- Dr. Polly Young- Eisendrath

In this lecture, I will present a view of consciousness as dyadic, beginning with the pair-bonding of infancy and moving through the pair-bonding of adulthood. My position is that our emotions and “self” are designed for relationship and interaction, much more than for self-examination. In fact, I believe that our self-examination often creeps into self-deception when we are too isolated from mirroring witnesses. Pair-bonding occurs through psychotherapy, intimate relationships, and through healthy conflicts with other individuals. Our nature is “two-ness” and our path is dyadic from birth to death in regard to our discoveries about ourselves.

As a part of my presentation I will draw on case material in Dialogue Therapy with couples in which individuals differentiate from the entanglement of projective identification and develop into mindful, dialogical space or play space in which they can accept and contemplate differences without invalidating (or validating) the differences. This is, I believe, the human path of “becoming a psychological individual” as Jung once described individuation.

 

Week 10: Saturday April 18, 2026

8:00am – 9:30am PT/ 11:00am – 12:30pmET / 3:00pm – 4:30pmUCT

Phantom Anchors: Object Relations and the Ghosts of Unclaimed Selves in Third Culture Kids – Dr. Elisabetta Iberni

This lecture rethinks Jung’s concept of individuation through the lens of Deleuzian philosophy, nomadic subjectivity (Braidotti), and relational psychoanalysis (Iberni, 2020) to explore the psychological lives of ‘people on the move’—refugees, migrants, and global nomads. These categories, though socially distinct, share experiences of dislocation, loss, and identity reformation. In particular, Third Culture Kids and Adults (TCKs/TCAs) exemplify a rootless yet resilient psychic architecture shaped by frequent relocations, cultural multiplicity, and ongoing transitions. Drawing from analytical psychology and object relations theory, the lecture examines how internal objects adapt in fluid caregiving and cultural environments. Rather than fragmented, these individuals often rely on “phantom anchors”—symbolic elements like language, foods, or rituals—which function as transitional objects bridging internal and external worlds, mediating grief and identity continuity. Clinical vignettes illustrate how transference with mobile patients may pull the analyst into roles of symbolic home or cultural anchor. Archetypal figures such as Odysseus and Hermes offer metaphoric frames for understanding psychic responses to mobility. Ultimately, the lecture explores what it means to grow up without a stable geographic or cultural center, proposing that identity can emerge not despite but through movement, offering a glimpse into the psyche of the future global citizen.

 

Week 11: Saturday May 9, 2026

8:00am – 9:30am PT/ 11:00am – 12:30pmET / 3:00pm – 4:30pmUCT

A Case of Gender Identity Reversal and Trauma: Art, Dreams, and Relational Threrapies in Long-Term Treatment – Brooke Laufer, Psy.D.

This lecture explores a long-term Jungian treatment of a young woman navigating trauma, gender identity, and individuation. Adopted from a Ukrainian orphanage at age 2 and orphaned again at 9, the client identified as male from ages 10 to 22, underwent hormone therapy, and later detransitioned. Now 22, she entered therapy experiencing dissociation and agoraphobia.

Therapeutic work integrated Jungian methods—dream and image work—to access unconscious material and support symbolic integration, alongside relational and somatic approaches like therapeutic walking to foster embodied presence and emotional regulation. The client’s shifting gender identity became a key focus, raising deep questions about identity, loss, and self-coherence.

Viewed through a Jungian lens, both gender transition and detransition mirror individuation’s quest for authentic selfhood. Yet, while transitioning may serve as an outer expression of inner truth, it does not always ensure symbolic integration. Detransition, in this case, reflected a return not to a past identity, but to deeper psychic reconciliation.

This case invites clinicians to reconsider how gender identity, trauma, and loss intersect within the symbolic field of individuation, urging a developmentally attuned, trauma-informed, and compassionate analytic stance—particularly in supporting those whose journeys defy linear narratives of selfhood and healing.

 

Week 12: Saturday May 30, 2026

8:00am – 9:30am PT/ 11:00am – 12:30pmET / 3:00pm – 4:30pmUCT

The Clinical Relationship Between the Notion of Cultural Complexes as it Appears in the Lives of Individuals – Thomas Singer, M.D.

Tom Singer will present material that demonstrates the clinical relationship between the notion of cultural complexes as it appears in the lives of individuals.  The presentation will move back and forth between the theory of cultural complexes, their relationship to Jung’s model of the psyche, and how these ideas come alive in a specific example of an individual whose life was profoundly influenced by a potent and very destructive cultural complex that intermingled with an equally destructive personal complex.

 

Week 13: Saturday June 13, 2026

 8:00am-11:00am PT/ 11:00am – 2:00pmET/ 3:00pm – 6:00pmUCT

*THIS WILL BE A 3 HOUR Session, no prerecorded lecture

Jungian Art Therapy for Survivors of Sexual Abuse – Elana Lakh, Ph.D.

Since primordial times, the arts have been associated with healing processes.  “A product is created which is influenced by both conscious and unconscious, embodying the striving of the unconscious for the light and the striving of the conscious for substance “(CW8, 168). The transcendent function works with the symbolic in our paths of individuation, strengthening the ego-self axis. The arts play a prominent role in Jung’s theory. “The transcendent function” (1916) provides a profound discussion of the role of the arts in the process of coming to terms with the unconscious, and sets the ground for the arts therapy profession that evolved around the world since the 1940’s: “Often the hands know how to solve a riddle with which the intellect has wrestled in vain” (CW8, 180). Throughout Jung’s work one may find various references to the arts as a means to approach the unconscious. Sexual abuse has severe influence on the victim’s psyche and life. It affects the sense of self, relationship with people, and with the world. Sexual abuse deconstructs the sense of meaning in the world and in relationships and often is an experience that cannot be expressed in words. In these psychological places of no words, art materials and images can tell the story, and help deal with the trauma. The active act of making shape, the concrete touch of materials, the control that the survivor has over her artwork- all are part of working through the unthinkable experience of sexual abuse. The webinar will present the essentials of art therapy in the Jungian approach and describe the rationale of using materials and art making in the treatment of sexual abuse survivors and present the use of art in different phases of treatment. In the experiential part of the workshop, the participants will be invited to experience a therapeutic technique using simple art materials. Pencils, colored pencils, crayons or felt tip pens, plain paper- or any other material that you have with you, can be used.

Waxing Femininity: Adult Female Development From the Perspective of C. G. Jung’s Psychology – Pia Skogemann, M.A.

While Jung made significant contributions to understanding the feminine psyche, much of his work remained entangled in patriarchal assumptions. Skogemann’s lecture offers a bold corrective. Rejecting the masculine-coded “hero’s journey” often emphasized in analytical psychology, this lecture presents an alternative map of female individuation—cyclical, relational, embodied, and rooted in everyday experience.

Skogemann will explore key reinterpretations of Jungian concepts such as anima, shadow, and archetype through a feminist lens. Drawing on clinical vignettes, dreams, and literature, she will trace how feminine identity unfolds from girlhood to mature womanhood—offering practitioners and scholars alike a revitalized understanding of psychological development.

2. Analyze clinical cases through the lens of Jungian psychoanalysis to identify symptoms of broken individualization and unconscious projections in relational dynamics.
3. Identify the archetypal patterns underlying resistance to sexual violence, utilizing mythological figures such as Cassandra, Medusa, and Persephone.
4. Apply feminist and post-Jungian frameworks to understand the cultural and psychological impact of sexual trauma and collective denial.
5. Demonstrate practical use of active imagination in the therapeutic process and understand its function in facilitating individuation.
6. Assess the role of integrity in depth psychological development and apply Beebe’s model of psychological types and archetypes in clinical supervision and treatment.
7. Integrate historical, ancestral, and intergenerational trauma into depth psychological assessment using the concept of radical anamnesis.
8. Utilize the “Three-Tiered Systems Model of Interaction” to integrate art and imaginative expression into analytical psychotherapy.
9. Interpret the mind-body relationship through Jungian Complex Theory and emerging findings in psychoneuroimmunology.
10. Evaluate synchronistic experiences as indicators of deep psychic healing within individual, cultural, and ecological frameworks.
11. Apply dyadic relational theory and Dialogue Therapy to support individuation through mindful interpersonal differentiation.
12. Analyze the concept of “phantom anchors” in Third Culture Kids and relate Jungian archetypes like Hermes and Odysseus to the mobile psyche.
13. Examine gender identity development and detransition as symbolic processes within long-term trauma-informed Jungian therapy.
14. Differentiate cultural and personal complexes in clinical work and apply Jung’s model of the psyche to address unconscious collective forces in therapeutic settings.
