Description

Rose will lecture on the topic of religion and its place and purpose (if any) in psychotherapy, especially in Jungian analysis. Religion is not usually a consideration in a psychotherapy that focuses on individual development, problem-solving, and adaptation.

That said, C.G. Jung stated that individuals are not healed unless they develop a religious attitude. (He had a specific meaning for “religious attitude.”) One of Jung’s enduring contributions is his unearthing of ancient religious beliefs, rituals, and practices that are foundational to a universal unconscious, but connection to this treasure is largely lost to our Age of Reason. Modern consciousness has almost succeeded in sawing off the limb of the tree it sits upon.

Religion can and often does become a primary focus in Jungian analysis as individuals reconnect to this treasure that underlies their personal consciousness. A 45- to 50-minute lecture on these topics will be followed by a brief break, then 30 minutes of questions, answers, and discussion.

Attendees will:

  1. Have a clearer understanding of their own belief systems.
  2. Be equipped to better understand and, where appropriate, adjust the sometimes unconscious factors that influence their beliefs, values, and behaviors.
  3. Learn some techniques for investigating unconscious factors that underlie ego consciousness and determine one’s attitudes toward religion.
  4. Understand ways in which religious ideas and beliefs have both helped and hindered them.

Rose Holt, M.A., began her career in science and business, areas in which she
worked for over 20 years. At mid-life, she changed over to counseling and psychology after
discovering Jungian Psychology. Her thesis paper for Analytical Training is “Alchemy of the
Small Group.” It describes the journey of a core group of women who worked weekly with their
dreams over a ten-year period. Many alchemical themes that Jung ascribed to the individuation
process appeared in group members’ dreams, convincing Rose that work in small, intimate
groups is an effective way to facilitate individuation.
