Jungian Analyst David Schoen on Addiction

The Jung Society is pleased to host David Schoen on Friday Feb 4th, an evening event on Addictions, AA and Jungian Psychology and on Saturday 5th a full day in-depth workshop.

Friday evening February 4^th

Jungian Analyst David Schoen will present an overview of the psychological dynamics of addiction, treatment and recovery, as seen through the dual lenses of the 12 steps of Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) and Jungian Psychology. He will draw from the famous correspondence between AA cofounder Bill W., and Carl Jung, which shows how Jung's psychology forms a cornerstone of AA and recovery. (Read here the correspondence between A.A. founder Bill W. and Carl Jung.)

Schoen will describe the development and nature of a typical addiction, the archetypal shadow in the addiction process, and why the principles of AA are such an effective treatment approach in addressing addiction.

An in-depth workshop on Addiction and Recovery (Feb 5th)

An Intensive Workshop with Jungian Analyst David Schoen

Come inside to a place of enlightenment with Jungian Analyst David Schoen. This workshop will provide you with a deeper understanding of the psychodynamics of addiction, treatment and recovery, including the creation of the addiction-shadow complex. He will address what is involved in the healing process from the perspective of AA's 12 step program, and amplify the concept of archetypal evil and shadow in fairytales and religions. Finally, Schoen will touch on how the dreams of alcoholics and other addicted individuals can be significant in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.
