Since the 1980s, cognitive psychology has increasingly become embodied from a variety of standpoints. This talk will show how the results of embodied cognition and spontaneous thought “demystify” many of the attributes Jung described in his archetype theory, making archetype theory not only more comprehensible but clinically applicable in addictions and other emotional challenges. Combining approaches suggests new avenues of inquiry for experimental research and enriches the psychoanalytic perspective.
Learning Objectives:
- List the characteristics of spontaneous thought, as discovered by neuroscience and clinical presentation.
- Identify the subset of spontaneous images that qualify as “archetypal” using clearly defined criteria.
- Correctly interpret spontaneous images and narratives as innate embodied metaphors of one’s current emotional state using clearly defined associations.

Join us for our monthly live webinar learning series Addiction Psychiatry Advanced Psychotherapy Curriculum, targeted towards Addiction Psychiatrists, developed by the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) in collaboration with Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) and NYU School of Medicine. The curriculum is tailored specifically to address the educational needs of faculty and fellows of Addiction Psychiatry residencies throughout the country, and open to all AAAP members. The course directors for this program are Christopher Blazes, MD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at OHSU, and David Stiffler, MD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NYU.
Participants will be introduced to advanced techniques from clinical experts that can be readily applied to real world clinical situations in the absence of formal, intensive psychotherapy training. Interact with peers and subject matter experts on topics such as narcissism, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavior therapy, and more.
