The National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis
ARE PLEASED TO OFFER:
FORGIVENESS, The Unforgivable and Redemption:
A Clinical Perspective
From the personal to the global, we swim in a sea of archetypal influences, many of which remain unconscious throughout life. In fairy tales, legends, and spiritual stories, we often find the protagonist under a spell-- turned into a bird, taken over by demons, or (as in Beauty and the Beast and the myth of Narcissus), cursed by an inability to love. While these stories provide examples of the working of possessions, they also offer intimations about avenues to redemption. Redemption, the breaking of these spells, occurs through magic, differentiation, prayer, and always through a significant amount of inner work.
In this lecture, Dr. Conforti will present material from his forthcoming book;
Hidden Presences: Spells, Possessions and the Complex and from his recent paper;
Redemption and Healing. He will discuss experiences, states, and fields from
which we need and seek redemption, and how eternal wisdom and Jungian psychology
helps us work with these dynamics. He will discuss the power of fields as
autonomous entities within the world psyche,
affecting both personal and collective behavior.
