Return of the Spirit: C.G. Jung’s Psychological Foundation for 12 Step Programs
In this series, Dr. Lavin discusses Jung’s understanding of the many forms of spirit and the ways in which Twelve Step Programs can support the re-discovery of the creative spirit. Dr. Lavin also discusses the shadow of Twelve Step Programs which has the ability to snuff out the spirit which thirsts for wholeness. Other topics discussed include sobriety as a process of remembering one’s Self by loving the body, finding the soul, and accepting the embrace of one’s creative spirit.
