It could be said that we do not have direct access to the soul: that soul shows in our thoughts, feelings, and imagination. Out of Carl Jung’s experiences, which he laid down in the Red Book, he formulated a new conception of his psychotherapy. He no longer solely focused on the psychopathology of his patients, but tried to interest them for the development of their whole personality. He told them how to induce visions, how to get into a conversation with the figures appearing, and he suggested to express the contents also in the form of drawings and paintings.

"I let my patients find their own symbolic expressions, their 'mythology'." (C.G. Jung)

In this workshop, we will look at a series of pictures painted by one of C.G. Jung's clients over a period of more than ten years, and we will compare Jung's comments with our own observations. Come and join us on this short journey as with Ursula Weiss together consider in discussion.

“Soul is Image” (C.G.Jung)
