Transformation of Innocence in the Psychotherapy of Early Trauma

An innocent core of the self is frequently encountered in the analytic treatment of early trauma and an aura of sacredness often surrounds it. Yet this same childlike innocence, when primitively defended in the trauma survivor, becomes malignant and turns into a victim/perpetrator dynamic which leads to what Jung called neurotic suffering as opposed to authentic suffering and transformation. In this lecture the speaker will explore this conundrum with both clinical and theoretical examples.
