UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX<br />
Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies<br />
MASTERS IN JUNGIAN AND POST-JUNGIAN STUDIES<br />
Module Co-ordinator: Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Andrew Samuels<br />
<strong>2012</strong>-13<br />
Course: <strong>PA973</strong>-7-<strong>FY</strong>: Key Concepts in Jungian and Post-Jungian Psychology<br />
(<strong>PA973</strong>-7-AU Archetype, Gender, Shadow, Soul, Individuation: Some Key Concepts<br />
in Jungian & Post-Jungian Studies)<br />
(PA907-7-SP What happens in Jungian Analysis? – A series <strong>of</strong> Seminars on the Analytic<br />
Encounter)<br />
The course introduces the central theoretical concepts <strong>of</strong> analytical psychology which<br />
will be located within critical, comparative and experiential perspectives. A further<br />
aim is to introduce students to the general field <strong>of</strong> contemporary post-Jungian<br />
psychology and familiarise them with the relevant literature. The interface between<br />
analytical psychology and psychoanalysis will be foregrounded. In addition,<br />
opportunities will be provided for the theoretical exploration <strong>of</strong> the connection<br />
between these key concepts and their clinical use.<br />
The course will be taught by sixteen analytical psychologists from a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
backgrounds, groups, and theoretical perspectives (biographical notes are provided<br />
with the course pack). Essay titles are to be agreed with the Course Co-ordinator,<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Andrew Samuels. Details <strong>of</strong> the essay assignment are given at the end <strong>of</strong><br />
this course outline and reading list.<br />
Except where indicated, all the reading is essential and required reading and the<br />
course pack includes everything except extracts from Jung’s Collected Works or<br />
from Jung and the Post-Jungians (Samuels, A [1985], London and Boston: Routledge<br />
and Kegan Paul).<br />

5
“Write a critical account <strong>of</strong> one concept or theme in analytical psychology that has<br />
been or will be covered on the course.”<br />

and post-Jungian thought. Comment upon its applicability both clinically and nonclinically<br />
(i.e., in the context <strong>of</strong> therapy and in other contexts). Give your critical<br />
assessment <strong>of</strong> your chosen concept or theme. Parallels with psychoanalysis (or any<br />
other school <strong>of</strong> psychotherapy) should be given where appropriate. Finally, locate the<br />
concept or theme within its wider intellectual and cultural context, making use <strong>of</strong> the<br />
approaches you have encountered in the seminar series “Jung in Contexts”.<br />
