This all-day workshop will focus on the study of dreams. It will begin with a brief overview of the recent scientific findings in the study of dreams, and from there the participants will move to discussing Dr. C.G. Jung's view of dreams. We will take Initial Dreams as a starting point for the study, for it is there that we see the archetypal elements in some of their clearest manifestations. As time permits, we shall have the opportunity to work with a series of dreams of a patient, and perhaps some of the participants who are therapists would like to present some clinical examples.
Thomas B. Kirsch, M.D., was born in London and raised in Los Angeles. He is a graduate of Reed College and Yale Medical School. He took his psychiatric residency at Stanford, and was a consultant to the National Institute of Mental Health. Dr. Kirsch graduated from the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco in 1968. He has been in private practice since 1967, and he has been on the clinical faculty of Stanford University's Department of Psychiatry since that time. Dr. Kirsch has also been president of the San Francisco Institute, vice president and president of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, and a member of the Academy of Psychoanalysis. Author of numerous papers on the biology and psychology of dreams, Dr. Kirsch was co-editor of the Jungian section in the International Encyclopedia of Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis in 1977. Presently, he is writing a book on the history of analytical psychology, called Jungians, to be published by Routledge within the next year.
