This lecture from Dr Kevin Lu, PhD, explores Jung's unique approach to the psychology of religion, which will include a critical assessment of his controversial Answer to Job and his reservations regarding westerners turning to eastern religions and practices.

While it is clear that Jung struggled with his own belief and the role of religious institutions in maintaining psychological well-being, there may be indication that the ambivalence with which he regarded organised religion shifted as he approached the end of his life. The lecture will be interactive and the speaker looks forward to a lively discussion and debate.

Dr Kevin Lu, PhD, is Director of Graduate Studies and Director of the MA Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies in the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex. He is a former member of the Executive Committee of the International Association for Jungian Studies.
