The Chicago Jung Institue is offering a program on December 7 that might be of interest to many since it deals with a very sensitive area in psychotherapy. Here are the details:
THE LOVE CURE:
THERAPY AND THE EROTIC RELATIONSHIP with
John Ryan Haule, Ph.D.
Friday, December 7th, 2012 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
It has become "politically correct" to view every manifestation of erotic feelings in therapy as "forbidden" and "inappropriate." In my experience, whenever therapy "works" it has a powerful erotic component. Instead of running away from erotic feelings in therapy, we have to learn to understand them. In their oneness, therapist and patient become powerfully meaningful for one another. By means of their distance, the therapist is able to articulate and value the deep identity of the patient. It is this recognition and "mirroring" which affects the cure.
