SUMMARY:The Drunkard’s Progress: Intoxication\, Recovery\, and Individuat
 ion
DESCRIPTION:\nIn the first half of the program we will take a brief look at
  the correspondence of C.G. Jung and Bill Wilson\, the founder of Alcoholi
 cs Anonymous (AA)\, as well as why Jung was considered a “silent co-foun
 der” of AA. We will explore the archetypal elements of addiction\, compl
 exes associated with addiction\, and why the twelve steps have been so suc
 cessful helping those who struggle with substance abuse. We will discuss h
 ow the twelve steps increase healthy functioning of the ego\, revitalize c
 onnection to the spirit\, and create a path toward individuation.\n\n\n\nT
 he second half will focus on how the recovery process does not on its own 
 necessarily lead to individuation. We will explore how analytical psycholo
 gy can be a bridge to those seeking emotional sobriety after becoming abst
 inent from alcohol and drugs\, and how this relates to shadow integration 
 as well as the relationship to the anima and animus.\n\n\n\nJeffrey A. Bro
 wning\, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor\, Level II\, has worked 
 as a primary therapist in the field of addiction for nearly twenty-five ye
 ars\, in alcohol and drug treatment centers\, in a men’s prison\, and in
  his own private practice in Nashville\, Tennessee. He currently trains at
  the Research and Training Centre in Depth Psychology according to C. G. J
 ung and Marie-Louise von Franz\, in Zurich.\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\
 n\n\n\nExplain the psychology of addiction from a Jungian lens.\n\n\n\nLea
 rn the differences between recovery and individuation and the importance o
 f these distinctions.\n\n\n\nLearn how both Bill Wilson and C.G. Jung were
  pioneers in the progress made in addiction treatment in the 20th century.
