PART I: 'The Other' and 'The Syzygy': The Relational Ethics of Levinas and Jung
by Laura Gardener, MA, LMHC, CMHIMP
The clinical relevance of Emmanuel Levinas' Philosophy of Ethics will be described, including his terms 'Totality', 'Infinity', 'Face of the Other', and 'Widow and Orphan'. The ethical implications of Jung's 'Syzygy', 'Shadow', Eros, and 'Soul function' will be compared and contrasted to demonstrate Jung's relevance for contemporary ethical psychotherapeutics. The concept of 'Inner Intersubjectivity'
will be proposed as the basis of a uniquely Jungian Ethics. Participants will explore relevancies to their work with clients and implications for 'Care of the World' in light of 'Black Lives Matter'; 'Me Too'; ‘Homelessness and Drug Addiction Crises’; LGBTQ rights, and 'Immigrant Rights'.
PART II: Ethics in the Spirit of These Times
by Laura J Lewis Thayer, LMHC, EAMP, Jungian Analyst, ISAP Zurich
In times of great chaos an ethical standpoint is pressed more firmly upon us, bringing into stark clarity the often conflicting points of intersection between individual practice, and our personal and public professional responsibilities. This lecture explores where professional practice and outer collective realities meet, and how we, as individuals, might grapple with the task of facing harsh realities that give no easy answers to right action. We will reflect on the archetypal undercurrents and ‘living meaning’ of these Times, and the soul seeking process of coming to know one’s individual answers.
Jung writes, “the constructive standpoint asks how, out of this present psyche, a bridge can be built into its own future.” CW3 ¶397

Seminar Description:
In our new century we feel upheaval as well as liberation and it helps to go back to basics in our clinical work and understanding, not to reify old concepts, but to enter their fluidity and expansiveness into new forms--both reliable and revolutionary.
