Moving beyond a “sign-based” interpretation\, we will examine the Jungian conceptualization of the symbol as the best possible expression for a yet-unknown psychic reality. We will explore two primary methodological pillars: amplification\, the process of expanding a symbol’s meaning through mythic and cultural parallels\, and circumambulation\, the iterative process of orbiting a central psychic image to allow its inherent meaning to unfold. The presentation will introduce and demonstrate the usefulness of the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) in clinical practice. \n\n\n\nApproximate breakdown of time: \n\n\n\nFirst Hour: presentationSecond Hour: discussion with audience \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\nAfter attending this session\, participants should be able to: \n\n\n\n\nApply the techniques of amplification and circumambulation to clinical material to deepen the patient’s relationship with unconscious imagery.\n\n\n\nDescribe how Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism  (ARAS) can be used as a resource in the amplification of symbols.\n\n\n\nAnalyze how symbolic material serves as a bridge between somatic experience and psychological insight.\n\n\n\n\nContinuing Education Credits are offered exclusively to Society members in all membership categories and those intending to join. \n\n\n\nThe presenter and organizer have no relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies to report. \n\n\n\nParticipants are asked to be aware of the need for privacy and confidentiality throughout the program. \n\n\n\nACCME Accreditation Statement: This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of American Psychoanalytic Association (APsA) and the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society.
