Deep dives
Dr. Yaoman's Unique Interpretation of Classic Fairy Tales
Dr. Yaoman is currently working on a book that delves into specific fairy tales with unconventional endings that leave the protagonist in a state of unresolved unconscious conflict, hinting at deeper psychological dynamics that need exploration before conscious resolution.
Professor Liu's Novel Experiment with Character Psyches
Professor Liu is engaged in writing a novel that explores characters whose interactions can be read as representations of different aspects of the psyche. This experimental approach allows for a dual reading of the characters as complex individuals and symbolic manifestations of psychological dynamics.
Psychoanalysis and Teaching the Ineffable at Northeastern University Conference
Professor Liu will be presenting at the forthcoming psychology and the other conference at Northeastern University in London. His topic, 'Psychoanalysis and the Other: Teaching the Ineffable in a Culture That Demands Hard Evidence,' examines the challenge of conveying psychoanalytic principles in a milieu that values empirical proof and certainty.
The Collaborative Academic Exploration on the Child Archetype
Dr. Yaoman and Professor Liu collaborated on an article delving into archetypal thematic analysis. The paper, 'Jungian Psychosocial Studies: Akira Greta Thunberg and Archetypal Thematic Analysis,' investigates the constellating of the child archetype in relation to prevalent societal phenomena, offering a methodology combining Jungian principles with social interpretation.
Upcoming Projects Focused on Unresolved Endings in Fairy Tales and a Novel Experiment in Psyche Narratives
Dr. Yaoman is currently immersed in a book project centered on specific fairy tales that deviate from conventional resolutions, leaving characters in states of unresolved unconscious conflict. Additionally, she is crafting a novel that interweaves character dynamics as symbolic expressions of psychological facets. Both projects aim to explore the depth and complexities of the human psyche in unique narrative contexts.
We are joined by Jungian analyst Ann Yeoman, Ph.D. in Devon, England and Professor Kevin Lu, Ph.D. at the University of London to discuss their new book, 'C.G. Jung's Collected Works: The Basics,' scheduled to be published by Routledge on March 18th, 2024.
