This seminar aims to explore a few problematic aspects of a very challenging, yet still largely overlooked question: C. G. Jung’s distinctive contribution to the understanding of sexuality and its implications, in theory and practice, for those who work in the multifarious world of Jungian psychology. The purpose of this seminar lies on the invitation to re-assess the question of Jung and eros, with a particular emphasis on debunking myths and misconceptions that still arise around Jung and sex, whilst offering a fresh accurate historical understanding of the fundamental place of this topic within Jung’s psychology.
