Is Earth actually flat? Is the CIA responsible for the attack on the WTC in New York? Why do many believe various bizarre theories despite the wealth of counter-evidence? The rise of fake news, alternative facts, and conspiracy theories, along with the fundamentalism, fanaticism, and propaganda of totalitarian governments from around the world, call for a no-holds-barred depth psychological exploration. Jung\u2019s insights provide rich ways of the understanding these phenomena. In this course, we\u2019ll explore:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 25px;\">1) the psychological phenomena and dynamics underlying conspiracy theories;<br \/>\n2) how the Self\u2014namely non-credible representations of numinous energies\u2014influences the way the ego holds on to conspiracy theories;<br \/>\n3) the unconscious (excessive, unhealthy) dynamics that maintain the ego\u2019s adherence to conspiracy theories;<br \/>\n4) mythological and clinical parallels of the phenomena;<br \/>\n5) examples of how conspiracy theories shape politics and public affairs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Slides:<\/b> The slides used for this seminar are included in the download as a PDF file.
