When people feel grief and despair or suffer from suicidal thoughts, they may feel like they are dying inside. In order to regain the will to live, Rosen believes, only a part of them &#8211; a false self &#8211; needs to die. When the false self is permitted to die symbolically (egocide) through drawing, pottery, writing, or other forms of creative expression, a kind of mourning process is set in motion. When the cycle comes to an end, the person is transformed and experiences new life, a rebirth of purpose and meaning. This workshop focuses on understanding depression and the quest for meaning, discerning the creative potential of suicide, and recognizing and treating depression and suicidal people. Crisis points such as adolescence, mid-life, divorce, and loss of a loved one are discussed. Drawing from actual case material, Dr. Rosen presents the egocide and transformation model, explains how it is applied and how it works, and explores its creative potential. It was recorded in 1994.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rosen_David.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-548\" src=\"http:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rosen_David-130x150.jpg\" alt=\"rosen_david\" width=\"130\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rosen_David-130x150.jpg 130w, https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rosen_David-64x74.jpg 64w, https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Rosen_David.jpg 189w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 130px) 100vw, 130px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/store\/index.php?route=product\/manufacturer\/info&amp;manufacturer_id=36&amp;tracking=5cec2d644c89f\">David Rosen, MD<\/a><\/strong> is a Jungian analyst and psychiatrist in College Station, Texas.
