SUMMARY:The Collective Unconscious in the Age of Neuroscience: Severe Menta
 l Illness and Jung in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Is all psychosis the same? Depth psychology treats it as such\,
  yet medical models of severe mental illness say different. While medicati
 on can be a dirty word in Jungian circles\, some disorders cannot be treat
 ed without it. Is there common ground? Can Jung’s bedrock notion of a co
 llective unconscious coexist within scientific advances that have occurred
  since his death? The answer is a resounding yes. This program will explor
 e the remarkable prescience of Jung’s work\, how medical models actually
  advance his theory\, and the challenges and opportunities for analytical 
 psychology moving forward.\n\nJoin us for a personal journey of enchantmen
 t\, then disillusionment with Jungian practice through the presenter’s o
 wn struggle with bipolar I disorder and psychosis. The research Dr. Durchs
 lag will share was born out of the lived conundrum of reconciling medical 
 and depth psychological models of treatment. In the end\, her journey led 
 to a renewed and deeper connection to Carl Jung’s body of work.\n\nThis 
 program will allow participants to view these questions through an analysi
 s of four autobiographical narratives\, including the presenter’s\, whic
 h highlight the consistency of connection to numinous and transpersonal co
 llective material. A brief overview of medications used in the treatment o
 f severe mental illness will offer a vision of how this transcendent mater
 ial appears to manifest at a physiological level\, and shed light on Jung
 ’s later exploration of synchronicity and the ultimate unity between psy
 che and matter.\n\nLearning objectives:\n\n 	Define severe mental illness 
 from the perspective of both medical and depth psychological models.\n 	Us
 ing case material\, identify challenges for depth psychology in regard to 
 bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia.\n 	Acquire a basic understanding of 
 current medications for the treatment of severe mental illness.\n 	Using c
 ase material\, explain how severe mental illness aligns with basic tenets 
 of analytical psychology.\n 	Build dialogue related to human physiology an
 d a collective psyche.\n\nHallie Beth Durchslag\, PhD\, LISW-S\, lives in 
 Cleveland Heights\, Ohio\, where she teaches\, writes\, and maintains a pr
 ivate practice as a Jungian-based\, psychodynamic psychotherapist. She beg

 serve University (1999). Shifting toward a clinical practice in 2009\, she

 y at Pacifica Graduate Institute (2015). Dr. Durchslag has an abiding inte
 rest in the complexity of what makes us both human and transcendent beings
 . Her research over the past 10 years has looked at this subject through t
 he lens of severe mental illnesses and their physiological connection to J
 ungian theory. Her book\, The Collective Unconscious in the Age of Neurosc
 ience: Severe Mental Illness and Jung in the 21st Century (Routledge) was 
 released in July 2020. She maintains her commitment to the macro side of s
