OEDIPUS AND BEYOND: THOUGHTS ON THE MYTH OF ANALYSIS
Dr Sally Kester
It was Sigmund Freud who originally connected the process of psychoanalysis to the ancient Greek myth of Oedipus, which inspired two plays by Sophocles: Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus. This presentation will consider Freud’s writing on Oedipus in his signature study The Interpretation of Dreams and then demonstrate in detail how both plays can be interpreted in the dynamics of a contemporary analysis.
Dr Sally Kester has had two parallel careers, each of them for over forty years. She has been a Jungian analyst in private practice for forty-five years, twenty of them as a training analyst for The Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts. She has lectured extensively to the C. G. Jung Society of WA as well as to Jung Societies around Australia. She was also a part-time lecturer in the School of Music at The University of WA, and for ten years was a professional music critic. For some twenty-five years, she presented pre-concert talks for the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. Her doctoral thesis was on Wagner’s Ring Cycle, and she has presented lectures and workshops to Wagner Societies in five states.
Afternoon Tea will be served. Contribution: $20 https://www.trybooking.com/DDMOZ
