SUMMARY:Depth Psychological Approaches to Suffering: 42nd Annual Jungian Co
 nference
DESCRIPTION:When suffering strikes\, it is helpful to find a framework thro
 ugh which we may understand it. The approach of the Diagnostic and Statist
 ical Manual (DSM) is of limited help\, because there are many normal forms
  of suffering given the circumstances of a person's life. Even in the pres
 ence of emotional disorder\, people with the same diagnosis suffer in uniq
 ue ways and require a personalized approach. Traditional religions offer e
 xplanations and reasons for suffering\, and we will consider some\, but de
 pth psychology has unique approaches. This seminar will describe some ways
  to search for meaning in suffering\, and consider it as an experience of 
 liminality and initiation into a new level of consciousness. We will discu
 ss an approach to suffering based on radical acceptance.\nPainful states o
 f mind such as hatred\, envy\, alienation\, scapegoating\, cruelty\, and l
 oneliness\, also produce suffering. We will describe some of the developme
 ntal sources of these complexes\, their effects on the personality\, and s
 ome of the ways in which they may be approached in psychotherapy. We will 
 contrast these states of mind with the psychology and psychodynamics of al
 truism\, empathy\, compassion\, concern\, care\, consolation\, and pity\, 
 exploring the similarities and differences between these states. Finally w
 e will discuss ways to help the helper\, including burnout and compassion 
 fatigue.\nCourse objectives:\n\nIdentify a variety of frameworks within wh
 ich psychotherapists may approach the problem of suffering.\nRecognize for
 ms of suffering which are normal and not included in the DSM.\nUnderstand 
 the value of the discovery of meaning in suffering.\nApply a variety of ps
 ychotherapeutic approaches to painful states of mind.\n\nDr. Lionel Corbet
