The Academic Events Committee Presents: A Wrinkle In Time: A Series that will Consider both the Psychic Challenges and Opportunities for Generativity and Transformation in Later Stages of Life
Jung’s Perspective on The Psychology of Aging Presenter: Harry Fogarty, MDiv, PhD, LP Moderator: Pamela Siemon, LCSW Live on Zoom! 2 CE Hours available for NY Practitioners – LCSWs, LMSWs, LPs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LCATs, PHDs, PSYDs Wednesday, April 29, 2026 7 – 9 pm Admission including CE: $45 2 CE CREDITS AVAILABLE FOR NYS PRACTITIONERS
Dr. Fogarty will explore aging as it arises in clinical process from a Jungian perspective. For Jung our experience of embodied psychic life is purposive, not simply an extension of reductive repetitions of the past. When we are faced with the archetypal drama of the “Second Half of Life”, the arc of existence felt within the horizon of death, patterns operate in tension with newly emerging potentials – loss, mourning, rebirth, “new wine in new wineskins”, or not. Working relationally within multiple self-states, we engage such possibilities within the treatment matrix. Emergent patterns may be amplified through archetypal, collective, personally experienced motifs known in images, stories and events that open up the transference-countertransference field and can further individuation for analysand and analyst. Clinical vignettes and a film clip will demonstrate the transformative and the unchanging.
This webinar is live, real-time and interactive
