Jungian analysis evolved from the rich and extensive theories of the renowned swiss psychiatrist C.G. Jung, as a method of depth psychotherapeutic treatment and personal inner-development. Beyond caring for immediate distress, access to a deeper, unrealized balance is achieved by working from a symbolic, or meaning based perspective with dreams, guided and free form imagery and artistic productions. Jung demonstrated that such spontaneous and creative material is the doorway beyond suffering to a deeper wellness, if not spiritual growth and development. Dr. Kaufman's presentation on Midlife wisdom will include dreams, poems, myths, fairy tales and Jungian wisdom.
