Erich Neumann has been widely considered to be Jung's most brilliant student
and heir to the mantle of leadership among analytical psychologists
until his untimely death in 1960 at the age of fifty-five. Many of his
works are considered classics in the field to the present day - The Origins and History of Consciousness and The Great Mother, to name just the best known among many others. Now with the publication of the correspondence between Neumann and Jung (Analytical Psychology in Exile,
Princeton University Press, 2015) and of the substantial papers
presented at the conference held at Kibbutz Shefayim in Israel honoring
the publication of the correspondence (Troubled Times, Creative Minds,
Chiron 2016), a great deal of new interest is developing in the life
and works of Neumann. The five-part webinar Series will be devoted to
exploring the important relationship between Neumann and Jung and
discussing Neumann's works in many areas, clinical and cultural, from
the perspective of analytical psychology. The aim of this Series is to
contribute to the momentum of growing interest in the full range of
Neumann's writings.

| | 2017 Zürich Lecture Series
The Stories We Are: The Value of Abuse and Wrongdoings in our Past
|
| | October 27 & 28, Zurich, Switzerland
Featuring Allan Guggenbühl, John Hill, Paul Brutsche, Kathrin Asper, Ursula Wirtz, Murray Stein, Doris Lier, Bernard Sartorius, and Penelope Yungblut
In this year’s Zurich Lecture Series, Allan Guggenbühl will talk about the stories we create from our personal life experiences, and how our basic identity can be built on these stories. Neglected child, smart Underdog, lonesome Hero… these often dramatic, tragic and heroic dramas serve as the base of our identity. They might empower us to cope with challenges and confront the future. Often they hinder us, though, to develop our potential and are the source of our fears and worries. The snag is: The stories of our personal life don’t necessary reflect what actually happened. They often consist of fictional elements that contain an archetypical core. In order to reconcile with the paradoxes, absurdities and mysteries of our lives, we need to find our story line. For this, imagination is important. Discovering and retelling our personal story will help us to become focused and find meaning in our endeavors. In this lecture (and subsequent book), the distinct features of these stories are described, as well as the role of imagination and the possibilities of Mythodrama to work and reflect on the stories we are.
Allan Guggenbühl, PhD is a graduate of the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich, the founder of the Institute for Conflict Management and Mythodrama (IKM), a professor at the University of Education Zürich, a faculty member of ISAP-ZURICH, and an analyst in private practice. He is well known for his crisis intervention management in schools and other institutions. His lectures at home and abroad focus on this subject and on conflict prevention, team building, adolescent development, and the topic of boys in school and men in professional practice. He has authored many books on these subjects.

| | Where the Shadows Lie takes the reader on a journey through Tolkien’s Middle-earth, following the hobbits, their companions, and the characters they encounter on their quest. Along the way, Skogemann reveals the deep symbolic layers that are the source of joy and enchantment that many find in reading The Lord of the Rings. Aragorn, with the aid of Gandalf, Legoli, and Gimli, ascends to the throne and becomes the center of a great, unified kingdom—a symbol of the collective Self. The four hobbits, representing individual ego-consciousness, are transformed by the quest and acquire the psychological tools they need to renew the Shire—the small domain enfolded in the great.
Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious and the archetypes provide a key to understanding the forces of fantasy that are so powerful in Tolkien’s masterpiece—and thereby a key to understanding ourselves and the events of the outside world in our modern times.
