Duration:10.15am - 3pm
Extra Info:The VII Sermons to the Dead appears in the closing chapters of the Red Book and presents a cosmological framework that underpins the entire undertaking of Jung’s Liber Novus. It provides the foundation of Jung’s notion of individuation and reveals the full nature and purpose of the individuation process. It is the formulation of Jung’s own myth which he set out to discover when he embarked on his experimentation with the inner figures in 1913 and then documented in his Black Book diaries. These lectures will give an overview of the VII Sermons in the context of the Red Book and Black Books. They will explore the role of its text in individuation, and its implications for the work of analytical psychotherapy.

Katerina Sarafidou is the Head of Research and former Director of the MSc Psychodynamics of Human Development run by Birkbeck College and the British Psychotherapy Foundation. She is an honorary member of the British Jungian Analytic Association and one of three founders of The Circle of Analytical Psychology, which offers a 2-year course on Jung’s Liber Novus.
