This seminar offers an introduction to the healing and integrative potential of dreams. Grounded in Carl Jung’s approach to dreamwork, we will consider how symbolic imagery and archetypal themes offer insight into the psyche’s deeper layers, reveal psychological dynamics and support the process of individuation. Through case examples and interactive discussion, the seminar will highlight the clinical application of dream interpretation within a Jungian framework, emphasizing its relevance to deep psychoanalytic work.

Charges for reading material required for the seminars are not included in tuition. They are based upon copyright laws and change based on the content of the readers.
