Latvian Society for Jungian Analytical Psychology offers an opportunity
on May 30-31, 2025 to participate in
the seminar of Jungian analyst Ursula Wirtz
The Trauma Discourse. Conceptualizations and Clinical Practice
We will investigate the main features and treatment approaches of various Trauma therapies. Key contributions of a Jungian understanding of trauma (fragmentation, dissociation, spiritual and archetypal dynamics) provide insights into how the trauma complex impacts the psyche. Perils and possibilities of working with traumatic transference and countertransference in clinical practice and supervision will be explored.
Ursula Wirtz, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in literature and philosophy, with a multifaceted expertise, being a clinical and anthropological psychologist as well as a Jungian psychoanalyst, practicing in Zürich, Switzerland. She has been internationally engaged in the training of Jungian analysts in Russia, Czech Republic, the Baltic States, China, and Taiwan. Ursula has contributed significantly to the field, with numerous publications covering diverse areas such as trauma, ethics, soul murder, and the convergence of psychotherapy and spirituality. Among her seminal works, “Trauma and Beyond: The Mystery of Transformation” stands as a testament to her expertise, having been translated into multiple languages including German, Russian, Polish, Czech, and Chinese. Presently a translation is under way of her two other books, “Soul murder: Incest and Therapy” and “Hunger for Meaning” (Wirtz/Zöbeli) into Ukrainian. As a psychotraumatologist , her experiences extended to providing supervision for war and torture victims through the Red Cross and guiding therapists in their work with female survivors of mass rapes in former Yugoslavia.
