 Seminar

“MINING THE BANK OF JUNG’S CLINICAL INTUITIONS”

The 21st Century clinical environment is radically different from the one Jung operated in. At the heart of this seminar is an invitation for us to explore how, in our practices, we are still informed or inspired by certain Jungian ideas or intuitions which grip us individually, and why. The seminar is also intended to offer space for us to consider what we have done with Jung’s clinical intuitions (including how we might be moving away from, or towards them) or how we have re-worked them into something which works specifically for us and our clients / patients / analysands.

Over two consecutive days members of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts from NSW, ACT, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and New Zealand will discuss these questions with the group of seminar attendees. Presenters and moderators will include Andre de Koning, Leon Petchkovsky, Giles Clark, Craig San Roque, Margaret Caulfield, Patrick Burnett, Lesley Devereaux, Joy Norton, Chris Milton and Amanda Dowd. As with the previous Professional Development Seminar, a meeting will be arranged for Friday evening, 26th August (8pm – 9.30pm), at which one of the co-chairs of the CG Jung Institute will be available to discuss the future of ANZSJA’s analytic training in Australia and New Zealand.

Date: Saturday 27th August and Sunday 28th August 2005
Times: Sat: 9.30am-4.30pm, Sun 9.15am -4.30pm
(Future of Training meeting: Fri 26th August, 8pm– 9.30pm)
Venue: Greenmount Beach Resort, Gold Coast, Queensland
Cost (inc. light lunch): $290 for both days
$265 for both days, if booked and paid for before 30th June

MENTAL HEALTH FIRST - AID COURSE

The Gold Coast Institute of Mental Health conducted its first Mental Health First Aid course in June.  The course, which covers the causes, symptoms and treatments of anxiety, depressive, and psychotic disorders and substance misuse was a huge success. All participants were very satisfied with the course.  One participant stated “very educational and I believe all walks of life could benefit from this course” whilst another participant stated the “take home material and hands on experience of the presenters” as being the strengths of the course.

There are further courses planned for the future, so for more information call the instructor Kym Logan on 0421 072 658.
