SUMMARY:Individuation & Androgyny: Virginia Woolf's Orlando from a Jungian 
 View  
DESCRIPTION:Individuation &amp\; Androgyny:\nVirginia Woolf's Orlando from 
 a JungianView\nPresented by Holly Fincher\, Ph.D.\nNovember 19\, 1999\nIma
 gine what psyche could do with four hundred years and one individual who w
 as unbound from the laws of time\, gender\, and scientific fact. Such woul
 d be a being whose process of individuation could produce into a fully int
 egrated Self\, that is\, an androgynous Self\, whose masculine and feminin
 e principles would be wholly balanced\, integrated\, wed and consummated. 
 Thus Orlando is born from the imagination of Virginia Woolf. In a tale lik
 e a dream\, he lives his life across four centuries\, mysteriously transfo
 rming into a woman after one hundred years or so.\nJungian literary critic
 ism is a psychological approach to literature that helps us to better know
  psyche and psychological processes through the interpretation of visionar
 y works. Using a classical Jungian model of theory\, the topics of individ
 uation and alchemy will be outlined and followed in this presentation\, pr
 oviding a lens through which a better understanding of both the text itsel
 f and its psychological implications can be accomplished.\nWoolf'sOrlandoh
 as gained attention in recent years\, finding it's way into contemporary f
 ilm and academic review. As a result\, we find a renewed interest in this 
 tale of mythic importance that was\, when published in 1928\, well ahead o
 f its time.\nUsing film clips\, text readings and other visual and imagina
 tive images\, this presentation will illuminate the Jungian concept of ind
 ividuation. It will illustrate the surprising relationship between androgy
 ny and wholeness as it follows Woolf's tale of her character\, Orlando\, a
 cross the boundaries of time and scientific reality. Ultimately\, we are l
 eft with only psyche's reality and potential to contemplate.\nHolly Finche
 r\, Ph.D.\, received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Pacifica Gr
 aduate Institute\, where her degree specialized in depth psychology. That 
 work led to extensive interest and research in Jungian literary criticism 
 and theories of creativity. She currently serves as a board member of the 
 C.G.Jung Club of OrangeCounty and is in private practice as a psyche-cente
 red psychotherapist in GardenGrove\, California.
