Sunday, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM, April 8th, 2018
Dr. Maram offers a new way of conceptualizing and defining psychopathy that is a convergence of the author’s divergent professional experiences as a forensic psychologist, a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist, and her own life experiences over decades as a Jungian student and analysand. When her father died, the story of his life and their relationship ignited her curiosity about the meaning of psychopathy, enriching and amplifying what she already felt she knew from a wide range of experiences, study, and observations. The result was an exploration of this charged topic, psychopathy, with a new perspective that holds the potential for growth and healing. At the heart of the story is the power of eros, the devastating ramifications of its absence, and the tremendous healing energy of its presence.
Course objectives:
Understand a gradated definition of psychopathy.
Know at least 3 symptoms of psychopathy from depth psychology.
Explain how eros holds the potential for healing psychopathy.
