Abby, Patrick, and Dan respond to your questions! They talk teaching Freud in high school and beyond, including how to approach teaching some of the gnarliest case histories (read: Dora), and debate what an analytic perspective can offer in grappling with communication dynamics in the workplace, especially across differentials in power. What does it mean for an employee “to be heard,” and how does that relate to what management can tolerate hearing – or substantively change? But above all, the three show they’ve heard you by talking a LOT about Jung and our resistances to him. This leads into a conversation about the allure of the occult (both in Jung’s time and hours), Western esoteric traditions, archetypes, alchemy, demons, and more. Note: we got so many great questions that there will definitely be a Part Two forthcoming!

Have you noticed that Freud is back? Got questions about psychoanalysis? Or maybe you’ve traversed the fantasy and lived to tell the tale? Leave us a voicemail! (646) 450-0847
