The Psychotherapy Institute is pleased to welcome Fanny Brewster, PhD as our presenter for this year's Spring Symposium. Brewster will provide a deeper understanding of ethnicity and Africanist culture in dream imagery for practicing clinicians. Almost all of Jung's exploration of dream study was exclusive of individuals of African descent and people of color. His most related effort was during a visit to Washington D.C. where he remained for one month researching the dreams of 15 hospitalized African American men. We will review this visit, as much of his findings as we can, and further consider dreams inclusive of people of color.
A significant part of our time together will be the sharing of dream images, highlighting three areas of dreams: BIPOC images, race issues, and cultural imagery. This is an area of little exploration within Jungian psychology as connected with our multicultural society. We will have an opportunity to share, discuss, and perhaps find new openings for discussion and ways of considering how ethnicity and culture manifest in the unconscious through our dreaming lives. Please bring a dream for sharing and discussion with the group.
Course Objectives include: identifying cultural attributes of Africanist dreaming developed from dreamer associations; recognizing African mythical markers that can be used in African American dream interpretation; and identifying "shadow" projection and racialized theoretical constructions in relationship to African Americans in selected literature/creative work.
Fanny Brewster, PhD is a Jungian analyst and Professor at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Her most recent book is "Racial Legacies: Jung, Politics, and Culture" (Routledge). She is a published poet and author of dream-related and American Culture journal articles. She is an analyst member of the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts.
This course will be held virtually over Zoom. CE units are available.
