  • BIRTH, DEATH and BEYOND MELISSA JANE MIDGEN a Thesis Su
    THE CHILD ANALYTIC TRADITION OF THE SOCIETY OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY – BIRTH, DEATH AND BEYOND MELISSA JANE MIDGEN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Professional Doctorate in Child Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy December 2016 i Abstract This thesis seeks to chart the creation, development and eventual demise of the child analytic training of The Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP), the foremost Jungian Society in the UK. The brainchild of the Society’s founding director, Michael Fordham, the creation of the child training drew on the talents and persistence of many committed individuals. Through oral history interviews and archival research I weave together a narrative that will serve as testament to this achievement and offer first hand recollections for posterity. Through these sources the narrative also explores the difficulties that the training faced and which ultimately led to its eventual demise. Additionally I interrogate the current status of this tradition of child analysis and ask the question whether or not the tradition continues to exist and if so in what ways; I conclude that currently the tradition can only be said to exist in an attenuated form and that the future is bleak. In the course of the thesis I locate the SAP training within the development more generally of child analytic provision within the UK, the relationship of that to the child guidance movement and to the psychoanalytic diaspora, which made it possible. I describe the current obstacles faced by the child psychotherapy discipline as well as psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the NHS.

  • Therapy, Depth Psychology and Executive Coaching: Where and How Do They Meet?
    Therapy, Depth Psychology and Executive Coaching: where and how do they meet? by John Schuster The fields of coaching and therapy/counseling are distinct, have different histories and origins, and yet share similarities as psychological endeavors. This study condenses the many differences and similarities between coaching and counseling and the roles of those pursuing them. It concludes with two illustrations: (1) some types of coaching are closer to therapy than other types of therapy are, and (2) the wisdom traditions add a needed dimension of human experience to both fields as they pursue human wholeness.

  • Depth: Refl Ections on the Challenges and Rewards of Integrating Depth Psychology Into Research Methodology
    Copyright © eContent Management Pty Ltd. International Journal of Multiple Research Approaches (2013) 7(3): 295–305. ‘Teaching’ depth: Refl ections on the challenges and rewards of integrating depth psychology into research methodology + OKSANA YAKUSHKO PHD*,1 AND ELIZABETH NELSON PHD ,1 *Chair and Research Coordinator, Clinical Psychology Program, Pacifi ca Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara, CA, United States of America; +Dissertation Policy Director, Research Coordinator, Psychotherapy and Somatics Specializations, Depth Psychology Program, Pacifi ca Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara, CA, United States of America Abstract: This article discusses how students enrolled in graduate level methodology courses can integrate key depth psy- chological values into the research process. As Coppin and Nelson (2005, p. 101) suggest, inquiry centered on the psyche asks researchers ‘to be fully involved with the opus on every level,’ both personal and archetypal, which ‘makes the work especially meaningful and especially arduous.’ This is equally true when teaching depth research and conducting depth research. To illus- trate, we describe the personal challenges and rewards of being instructors and discuss three models, composite case examples, of integrating depth that have emerged in the classroom. In the fi rst model, students begin by actively, rigorously separating their intellectual research pursuits from their depth experiences, either due to prior research education in non-depth oriented settings or due to a lack of understanding of how depth psychology applies to the research process. In the second model, the student chooses a topic based on intellectual appeal or the availability of resources for the study. Though a traditional starting point for most human science research, the student is curious about, and eager to, examine the depth psychological dimensions of their research.

    1 "Seeding liberation: A dialogue between depth psychology and liberation psychology." In D. Slattery & L. Corbett (Eds.), Depth Psychology: Meditations in the Field. Einsiedeln, SW, 2002. Seeding Liberation: A Dialogue Between Depth Psychology and Liberation Psychology Mary Watkins Depth psychology and the liberation of being Over the past thirty years since my initial love affair with depth psychology--particularly Jungian and archetypal psychology--I have periodically wondered about what it was that so seduced and intrigued me. Was it its acceptance and valuing of inbreaks of the imaginal, of depression, of pathologized images and experiences, all of which frightened me as a young woman? Was it the impassioned deconstructing of cultural and psychological ideas beneath this acceptance that appealed to my fierce desire to see beneath the taken-for-granted? More recently I have thought that this long marriage between myself and depth psychology has been possible because I found in depth psychology a basic orientation to being that seeks to allow what is to be present in its animation and its difference. It is a desire for the liberation of being.1 In depth psychology our habitual point of view, the "ego," is held suspect, and seen as partial and prejudiced. The various methods of depth psychology-- Freud's free association, Jung's active imagination, Reich's body work, Winnicott's play, dream work, working the transference--attempt to have us 1This paper is half of a longer presentation given at a Pacifica Graduate Institute conference, Mythologies of Soul, Spring 1997. The other half, previously published, traces the effort toward liberation in the methods of Freud, Jung, Reich, Winnicott, and existential- phenomenology (see Watkins, 2000).

  • Lecture Notes on Sigmund Freud
    Sociology 310 Fall 2000 Lecture Notes on Sigmund Freud Unconscious: the focus of Freud's depth psychology -- a level of psychic functioning deeper than the conscious or preconscious. The unconscious is inaccessible to introspection, not attached to language, revealed only symbolically in dreams, fantasy, myth, Freudian slips, and free association. Early studies of hysteria: Freud argued that hysteria was caused neither by a physiological disorder of the female sexual organs nor mere play-acting; hysteria was not uniquely female. Hysteria was caused by painful, emotion-charged memories, repressed from consciousness, leading to physical symptoms. Repressed memories were typically of childhood sexual seduction. Freud originally believed these were memories of actual events (trauma theory), but later concluded that they usually recalled forbidden wishes (wish theory). Theory of the instincts: Freud uses the term libido for the energy that drives the sexual instincts. Freud conceives of psychic functioning as the flow of this energy along paths shaped by cathexis (attachment) and anti-cathexis (aversion). Libido seeks release through pleasure; when blocked this leads to neurotic symptoms. Initially Freud distinguished between sexual and self-preservation instincts, but soon came to view these as merely two expressions of a single libidinal energy. Late in life he speculated on the existence of a death instinct -- the drive of all living things to return to an inorganic state. Model of the psyche Id: biological substratum; completely unconscious; consists of wishes seeking gratification; operates according to the pleasure principle (seeks immediate satisfaction). Ego: the more rational part of psyche (perception, learning, memory, reasoning); arises at interface of id and external world; aims at preservation of the organism; operates according to the reality principle (postpones or redefines gratification until safe or appropriate).

The Institute’s programs in psychology, the humanities, and mythological studies are informed by the rich tradition of depth psychology. Depth psychology calls attention to the importance of what lies beneath the surface of conscious awareness. That vital importance is clearly revealed in the arts and literature of every culture, as well as through the dreams and collective symptoms of individuals and societies. At Pacifica, leading scholars have developed a cutting-edge curriculum that meets the complex needs of a diverse student body. Educational formats include three- and four-day monthly learning sessions, and blended distance learning, low-residency degree programs. The Institute’s two campuses lie between the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains, a few miles south of Santa Barbara, California. Tranquil and beautiful, they form ideal settings for contemplation and study. Pacifica was born during the cultural upheaval of the early 1970s—a time when existing paradigms were questioned and new ones came into being. That sense of innovation, coupled with an abiding respect for the power of ideas, has remained central to the Institute’s culture and curriculum. Pacifica is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
