The Lecture Series
C. G. Jung's Theory of
Personality Types presented by Gregg Furth, Ph.D. Format - Lecture. An understanding of personality type is essential
to understanding the perspectives and motivations of both ourselves and others. In
this program, Jungian analyst Dr. Gregg Furth presents an introductory lecture on the
different personality types that Dr. Carl Jung identified in his typology theory.
Dr. Furth’s lively descriptions and examples of the two attitudes and four
ways of functioning bring the 16 types to life, highlighting their strengths and revealing
the limitations of over-reliance on any function to the exclusion of another. Dr.
Furth goes on to explore the effects of type on relationships, and changes of type which
can occur within an individual over the course of a lifetime. Finally, he discusses
what Jung identified as one of the ultimate achievements in personal development, the
transcendent function, which is the ability to access any of the types at will according
to the situation. Stock #501. 56 Minutes. $50.00.
Exploring the Unconscious
Through Drawings presented Gregg Furth, Ph.D. Format - Lecture. In this lecture Dr. Furth, a
specialist at interpreting spontaneous drawings, lays the groundwork for understanding
their symbolic language. He begins by explaining how complexes work and by
illustrating the power and universal nature of the Archetypes. He then shares
examples of drawings and active imagination from his work - primarily with terminally ill
children. When carefully analyzed, these expressions of the unconscious reveal an
uncanny degree of insight into the individual’s current condition and eventual fate.
He explains how these messages from the unconscious can help to heal emotional
wounds, create new energy for life, and when the time comes, to help ease the passage from
it. Stock #502. 81 Minutes. $50.00.
The Secret World of Drawings
presented Gregg Furth, Ph.D. Format -
Lecture. In The Secret World of Drawings, Dr. Furth shares the
specific guidelines he follows when analyzing a drawing. He illustrates each
guideline with drawings he’s collected over the years. He then describes the
value of these techniques for helping clients to recognize the landscape of their own
souls. Although he directs his remarks primarily to other therapists, his methods
can be used by anyone interested in developing a better understanding of the images
emerging from the unconscious. Stock #503. 73 Minutes. $50.00.
A Journey Into the Soul-Shadow
presented by Pauline Napier, Lic. Psy. Format
- Lecture. In this personal account of a woman’s individuation
process, Jungian analyst Pauline Napier describes her journey back to her ancestral home
of Sicily and her search for a Black Madonna described by her Sicilian grandmother.
Her outer-world journey becomes intertwined with her inner search for the sources
of strength within the feminine soul. She discovers that this strength is rooted in
the knowledge of evil. Just as a vaccination introduces a weakened virus into the body to
protect it from the virus at full strength; an "inoculation" with a sliver of
evil is necessary to immunize the psyche, so that it may not die in the face real evil.
The story of the Black Madonna of Tindari, Sicily, reveals a woman-mother who
acknowledges the darkness of the soul-shadow within all women. This shadow
self-knowledge offers new strength and the possibility of redemption for herself and
humankind. Stock #510. 77 Minutes. $50.00.
Searching for the Masculine
Soul presented by Pauline Napier, Lic. Psy. Format
- Lecture. Pauline Napier uses her lecture, A Journey into the
Soul-Shadow as a springboard for her inquiry into the affect a woman’s
soul-shadow has on men. In Searching for the Masculine Soul, she offers
an in depth look at the second half of life challenge facing all men. She examines
Carl Jung’s relationships with the important women in his life, and how these
relationships seem to have influenced his individuation process. She then turns to
the story of Merlin’s enchainment in the forest by the beautiful Niniane from the
Grail Legend as presented in Heinrich Zimmer’s The King and the Corpse: Tales of
the Soul’s Conquest of Evil. Pauline Napier’s analysis of the feminine
soul-shadow’s ability to keep the masculine soul enchained in the unconscious, offers
insight into the workings of a man’s relationships with other men and women, as well
as his connection with his own soul. Stock #511. 84 Minutes. $50.00.
Active Imagination as developed
by C. G. Jung. Format – Lecture.
In this program, Pauline Napier explains Dr. Jung’s important concept of "Active
Imagination," a method of encountering the deeper layers of the cultural, collective
and archetypal unconscious, which reside below one’s personal unconscious. She
emphasizes the need for a strong ego before one can successfully confront the powerful
archetypal forces and images that must be dealt with in the individuation process.
Pauline describes the five steps for entering into this odyssey as outlined by Barbara
Hannah, an analyst trained by Jung, in Hannah's book, Encounters with the Soul: Active
Imagination as Developed by C.G. Jung. 59 minutes. $50.00.
