PROGRAM BACKGROUND
Programs and materials based on Carl G. Jung’s lifelong
model of development, or individuation, have been a neglected area in the application of Jungian ideas. A new program has been created by Nancy Millner, which will allow practitioners, coaches, and anyone else interested in personal growth and developent to mine type and type developement for the richness it can bring to each season of life.

In 1984, Katharine Myers with Nancy Millner and Eleanor Corlett began to offer
Midlife workshops continuing through 1995. Nan Zimmer conducted Second Half
of Life Workshops called “The Creative Management of Change” in
the Elder Hostel Program. Participant response was enthusiastic to all these
programs. The success of this model in helping individuals to grow and find
meaning was rewarding to facilitators and participants alike. |
In the last few years such programs have not been readily available. However,
Nancy Millner has continued her interest, her study, and her experience with
clients and groups. She has published two books: Navigating
Midline (co-authored with Eleanor Corlett) and Creative
Aging and numerous articles. She has also developed materials for workshops
and study groups.
For several years, a group of MBTI® users interested in exploring Jungian
ideas in greater depth have met for an annual long weekend with Angelo Spoto,
author
of Jungian Typology in Perspective,
at Mercy Center in Madison, Connecticut. At the October, 2003 meeting, the idea
of re-instating opportunities for utilizing the Jungian model in personal growth
was received with enthusiasm. This workshop is an outgrowth of that interest and response. Nancy Millner and Katharine Myers, with the assistance of Betsy Styron at CAPT, have self-published both a Self-Expolration Guidebook and a Facilitator's Guide, which are course text material.
Workshop attendees will be able to use the reference material for personal and client-related self-exploration.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This course is for people who desire a rich, vital, mature life for themselves and for people with whom they work and live.
In this course, participants will explore some of C.G. Jung's basic assumptions and come to understand his psyche model and his life stages model. They will learn to apply their understanding of type, as measured by the Myers Briggs Type Indicator® assessment tool, to the life-long development of their life and/or to the lives of those with whom they work. They will mine type and type develompment for the richness it can bring to each season of life. They will learn to use their knowledge of type to connect them to their most authentic selves and to assist them with more effective living. Through theory and exercises, they will claim the gifts of good development for themselves, for those with whom they interact, with our shared culture.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
By the end of this course, participants will:
 Be aware of basic Jungian assumptions that relate to life-long development.
Understand Jung's psyche and life stages model.
Learn how type development is interwoven with the Jungian concept of the psyche and life stages model.
Apply the material learned to their lives to discover strategies for growth and change: for themselves and those with whom they work.
In order to make the workshops available to as many individuals as possible, it has been a tradition for the cost to be significantly lower than the cost of business-oriented prgograms. This tradition will be continued.
The text for this course is Applied Jungian Psychology: Navigating the Seasons of Later Life by Nancy B. Millner. It can be obatined from CAPT (Center for the Application of Psychological Type). Telephone 1-800-777-2278.
Articles on this area of application will be ongoing on this site.
