Sixteen Psychological Reflections on COVID-19

 

March 13, 2021 The C. G. Jung Society of Montreal 

The Frankenstein Prophecies: Victor Frankenstein, The Monster and the Shadows of Technology.

Mary Shelley’s story of Frankenstein is a visionary work that lives on today in the form of the multiple technological crises we are now experiencing. The Frankenstein Prophecies retells her story from the point of view of the “Monster.” His untold tale, which is the shadow side of Victor Frankenstein’s dream to become a new god of creation, is becoming our nightmare. The Monster’s story is a parable for our time and a dire warning of the consequences of the unexamined use of our technological powers.

Psychotherapy for End Times

Death is now the invisible presence haunting our therapy room, reminding us that the world as we have known it is ending and not knowing what kind of world might be beginning.  

How do we do psychotherapy in such times when the impending sense of an ending darkens our every word, gesture and mood with fears, anxieties, strategies of denial and fantasies of sheltering in old, familiar patterns?

Using the myths of Prometheus and Orpheus/Eurydice, I will show how they frame psychotherapy as a grieving process that takes us through the stages of love, loss, descent and transformation. Then, guided by the poets, a brief segment of a DVD film and some stories, I will discuss how the grieving process is a homecoming that heals our broken bonds with nature, with each other and with the larger community of ancestors of which we are a part.

GYPSY

 

In the cold, grey light of early morning,

 

A caravan of gypsy wagons slowly crosses a field.

 

Laden with their exile, the trees drip with sadness,

 

As the mists rising from the frozen land

 

Mingles with the breath of exhausted horses.

 

A herd of sleepwalkers, a gathering of ghosts

 

Wander across the lands of Europe

 

Welcomed nowhere.

 

Homeless vagabonds 

 

Dreaming of places left behind so long ago.
