Living into Whole Type with Angelo Spoto
9:00-11:00am
For decades, Jung’s type theory has arguably enjoyed a popularity among the public-at-large even beyond the formulation of his archetypal hypothesis, his ideas on synchronicity, and his original and creative work on alchemy. For the adventuresome reader, Jung’s massive volume Psychological Types still remains a tour de force in the history of ideas.
Expanding on Jung’s foundational material, Angelo Spoto will introduce the model that he has been touring with throughout the country for the last 10+ years, and recently had written up for the special, centennial edition of the Journal of Analytical Psychology, devoted to Jung’s original publication of his typological volume (CW 6).
This new typological model is based on the idea of “whole type,” and utilizes and integrates a typological perspective on the archetypal Self for a deeper understanding of both the individual’s typology and the individuation process itself. Included in the presentation will be an analysis of Jung’s own type, according to this new model.
A Discussion of the Cultural Complex Theory with a focus on the Relationship between the Soul of America and Our Cultural Complexes with Thomas Singer

This talk will begin with an overview of the origin and purpose of the cultural complex theory in Jungian thought. As a way of bringing the theory alive, we will then move on to discussion of how cultural complexes become an integral part of the many pieces of our American soul.
