Law & Order meets Freud & Jung: The Trials of Analysis

                  

Presented by

Greg Mogenson

Jungian Analyst, Dipl. Analyt. Psych.

Psychology and the law have long had a collegial association as adjacent disciplines.  In courts of law, for example, psychologists often serve as expert witnesses, providing insight into the motivations of the persons on trial. But what about the reverse of this relation?  What contribution has “the law” made to the work of analyst and patient in the consulting room?  In this lecture, the use of legal metaphors and the courtroom analogy by Freud and Jung are examined in relation to the practice psychotherapy and analysis.  Psychoanalysis and analytical psychology are shown in fresh perspective to be disciplines of truth in the spirit of a trial or court proceeding. 

Greg Mogenson is a Jungian analyst practicing in London, Ontario, Canada and the editor of The Studies in Archetypal Psychology Series of Spring Journal Books.  The author of many articles in the field of analytical psychology, his books include A Most Accursed Religion: When a Trauma becomes God, The Dove in the Consulting Room, Greeting the Angels: An Imaginal Approach to the Mourning Process, Northern Gnosis: Thor, Baldr, and the Volsungs in the Thought of Freud and Jung, and (with W. Giegerich and D. Miller) Dialectics & Analytical Psychology: The El Capitan Seminar.  His website may be visited at:   www.gregmogenson.com
