\"\"<\/a>with Lionel Corbett, MD & Cathy Rives, MD<\/p>\n

This episode is the first session of the series Jungian Psychology & Kohut’s Self-Psychology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The psychoanalytic methods of self psychology as developed by Heinz Kohut examine the development and the developmental disturbances of self-esteem and confidence, the formation and malformation of guiding ideals, empathy for the thoughts and feelings of others, initiative and creativity, and even sense of humor and wisdom. Lionel Corbett and Cathy Rives compare and contrast Jung’s theory of the Self, as well as general aspects of Jungian psychology, with Kohut\u2019s self psychology, which is rapidly becoming a mainstream alternative to both classical psychoanalytic drive theory and ego psychology. They also utilize case studies, as well as fairytale and myth analysis, to help illustrate these theories. It was recorded in 1989.<\/p>\n

Lionel Corbett, MD<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a professor of depth psychology at Paci\ufb01ca Graduate Institute. His primary interests are: the religious function of the psyche, especially the way in which personal religious experience is relevant to individual psychology; the development of psychotherapy as a spiritual practice; and the interface of Jungian psychology and contemporary psychoanalytic thought. He is the author of numerous professional papers and four books:\u00a0Psyche and the Sacred: Spirituality Beyond Religion<\/a><\/i>;\u00a0The Religious Function of the Psyche<\/a><\/i>;\u00a0The Sacred Cauldron: Psychotherapy as a spiritual practice<\/a><\/i>, and most recently\u00a0The Soul in Anguish: Psychotherapeutic approaches to suffering<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n

Cathy Rives, MD<\/a><\/strong> is a psychiatrist, Jungian Analyst, and Chair of the Clinical Psychology Program at Pacifica Graduate Institute. She is particularly interested in Jungian developmental theory, a way of working analytically that integrates Jungian theory, Object Relations, and Self Psychology. She is also pursuing a new field of study, the law, motivated by a desire to participate more effectively in the field of non-human animal rights.<\/p>\n
