Can the Self Be Known? A Conversation with Donald Carveth

What is the goal of psychoanalysis? Is it greater self-knowledge, or the recovery of our capacity simply to be?

In this third Freudian/Jungian conversation with psychoanalyst Donald Carveth we explore Winnicott's notion of the true self alongside Jung's understanding of the Self, individuation, and the religious attitude. We discuss conscience and the superego, the image of God (imago Dei), love, community, and why Jung increasingly turned toward Christianity in his later work.

The two earlier Freudian/Jungian conversations are found here and here.
