It is compelling to imagine what Jung would have thought of this digital age we live in. Perhaps he would have seen the internet experience as a massive form of active imagination.  Certainly he might have regarded it as source of constellation of the shadow, particularly in the areas of trolling, bullying and stalking. This seminar will seek to explore the ways in which our highly digitalized world has changed how we think and experience ourselves and our relationships.  We will look at the history of internet and how its widening use has changed how we conceptualize the Self and how it has redefined the parameters of what we refer to as relatedness.  We will also look at how this interface between the human psyche and digital technology is changing the way our brains are being structured and how they function.
