MONTANA FRIENDS OF JUNG presents a DVD seminar on “ The Psychological Dynamics of Addiction, Treatment, and Recovery” through the lenses of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Jungian psychology.  Presenter David Schoen has over 30 years experience as an addictions counselor. He is a senior analyst in the Inter Regional Society of Jungian Analysts and the author of The War of Gods in Addiction: C.G. Jung, Alcoholics Anonymous and Archetypal Evil.
Dr. Schoen draws from the famous correspondence between AA cofounder Bill W. and Carl Jung, which shows how Jung’s psychology forms a cornerstone of AA and recovery. Schoen will describe the development and nature of a typical addiction, the archetypal shadow in the addiction process, and why the principles of AA are such an effective treatment approach in addressing addiction.
The seminar will take place Wednesday, Jan. 21st, 7-9 p.m. in the small Community Room of the Bozeman Public Library.  Suggested donation is $10. CEU credits are available for $25 per seminar if you preregister by mailing a check to Montana Friends of Jung, PO Box 6565, Bozeman, MT 59771. Questions? Call Valerie at 406.587.3356.
