This course offers an introduction to the foundational principles of Jungian analysis. Participants will explore the structure and dynamics of the psyche, with special emphasis on the evolving relationship between the ego and the Self. Core Jungian concepts such as dream analysis, transference and countertransference, shadow work, and individuation will be examined in both theoretical and clinical contexts. Participants will gain an understanding of key psychological terms including ego, Self, and libido, and learn how to apply these concepts within the analytic relationship.
