Refining the Dialogue a public lecture given by Polly Young-Eisendrath, PhD This presentation is designed to explore the transformation of human suffering through the wisdom traditions of Buddhism and analytical psychology. Drawing on postmodernism and contemporary psychoanalysis, the presentation will describe self, selves and no-self from both a Buddhist and a Jungian psychoanalytic perspective, highlighting a developmental model of subjective and inter-subjective life that includes no-self as an aspect of full maturity. I will relate the Buddhist view of reality to clinical issues in psychoanalysis, looking at the two views with an eye towards similarities and differences. Educational Objectives:
Describe the Buddhist and Jungian psychoanalytic views of self, selves and no-self.
