We might occasionally overlook that driving involves more than just technical skills. Our emotional state is crucial in our performance, reactions, and engagement with other road users. Whether it’s a rush of […]

Hi All I’m sure most of you would have, at some time or another, heard someone say words to the effect of “I believe James(?)  was completely Hoovered last night”. I believe many youngsters these days want to have this said about them so that they can earn that “Badge of Honour”. In most Western societies, there […]

Hi All I have light-coloured curtains in my bedroom and I generally keep the windows all open at night – it’s been that way since an old cook of mine told me he did not need an alarm clock – he was woken up every day by the melodious tunes sung by some of the […]

Dear Members An aim of the Zimbabwe Society for Analytical Psychology is to highlight the value that analytical psychology brings to everyday life. One of the most useful and pragmatic concepts central to Jung’s theory is that of the complex. Operating both consciously and unconsciously, complexes play a significant part in driving our choices and behaviours and determining how our lives unfold. Last month we watched Dr John Gosling’s presentation on complexes, in which he explains the function, origin, manifestation and triggers of complexes. Thanks to those who joined us for the screening and contributed to the stimulating discussion afterwards.
