Everyone has experienced abandonment. The Greek myth of Atalanta, a fierce huntress who was abandoned in infancy, illustrates how this trauma might play out in a woman's psyche. However, a myth is an archetypal representation of inherent patterns of development, and a human life is much more particular and complicated. By translating the myth of Atalanta into psychological language, we will explore dreams and life events wherein aspects of the myth are constellated, thereby gaining insight into the trauma of abandonment.
Phyllis LaPlante is a Jungian analyst who lives in Fairfax, Virginia. She is a member of the Jungian Analysts of Washington Association and the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts. She has taught alchemy, psychic energy, basic concepts of Jungian psychology, and translation of archetypal material in Washington, Philadelphia, and New York.
For this program, we plan to offer CEUs for Social Workers.
