Jungian Ethics in Therapy:
Desire and the Forbidden Object
Ronald Jalbert, PhD

This seminar will consider Lacan’s reflections on ethics in analysis, in particular the view that ethics is embedded within the therapeutic process
itself. The analytic perspective allows for a refined attunement to the subtlety of exchange between therapist and patient. The seminar will demonstrate that ethics is not merely a set of rules and guidelines, but is expecially a praxis, a mode of being and doing embodied within an attitude of receptivity towards patients, their communication, and desire. Similarities and differences between Lacan’s and Jung’s views on ethics in therapy will be raised in order to foster discussion of their clinical application.
