This Zoom lecture will contrast Jung’s notion of the Self as the God within with traditional theistic approaches to the divine and describe the range of ways in which the Self may appear within the psyche. Dr. Corbett will also discuss how Jung’s approach allows the development of a personal spirituality rather than one based on doctrine and dogma.

Dr. Lionel Corbett trained in medicine and psychiatry in England and as a Jungian Analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago. Dr. Corbett, the author of six books and numerous articles, is a professor of depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, in Santa Barbara, California, where he teaches depth psychology. His primary focus is on the religious function of the psyche.
