Basic Jungian Concepts Course 2024

Essex is a leading member of a small handful of universities in the world that provides cutting-edge expertise in Jungian and post-Jungian theory and applications.

This intense and unique online course will give you a firm grounding in the key concepts of C.G. Jung’s analytical psychology. It will provide you with both in-depth knowledge about each subject and a wide variety of perspectives to use and critique Jungian concepts.

This course will concentrate on Jung’s model of the psyche, with special attention paid to the definitive concepts differentiating analytical psychology from psychoanalysis: the collective unconscious, archetypes, complexes, psychological types, individuation, the Self, and synchronicity. We will also explore Jung’s evaluation of, and writings related to, the arts, religion, psychotherapy, and society. Most seminars will concentrate on one or two primary texts, which will be presented by our lecturers and examined in detail with participants via real-time discussions.
