Imagination and Medicine: The Next Evolution of Depth Psychology
The language of science has been colonizing Jungian psychology since its beginning. To understand psyche, we psychologists have borrowed most of our metaphors from science; it is no surprise then, that we developed an inferiority complex! Ever since psychology insisted it was part of science, depth psychology became the side-show to the main event, which is supposed to be happening either in the gray matter of the brain, or in the genes. Dr. Paris will demonstrate how the next evolution of depth psychology is the resolution of that complex, because neuroscience, for the first time ever, needs and validates the basic principles of depth psychology, more than it validates any other psychological approach.  

Saturday, February 26, 2011, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Parkdale United Church, 2919 8th Avenue NW, Calgary

Shopping for the Right Archetype: Debunking Old Metaphors and Tired Fictions
This workshop will attempt to demonstrate a basic skill in the practice of archetypal psychotherapy.
We will:
1) Review the main ideas that inform the practice.
2) Through a series of exercises, we will experience the process of metaphorizing, in order to replace the outdated inner cinema with fresh imagery, to revitalize one's inner life. Special attention will be given to the problem of interference by the therapist, a frequent mistake in the practice of imaginal approaches, of narrative therapy and of so-called life-coaching.
 

Tickets can be purchased online at www.calgaryjungsociety.org or at each event. Register early!
