Presented by the C.G. Jung Club of Orange County, this lecture will:
-Explain how the thoughts and feelings we have in response to encountering what we call schizophrenia can become a complex.
-Explain why a stable ego is important when encountering the chaos of the unconscious.
-Explain how Eros holds the potential for depotentiating a schizophrenia complex.
Dr. Maram’s book The Schizophrenia Complex (Chiron, 2022) focuses on the thoughts and feelings constellated by encounters with what we call schizophrenia, for those who experience symptoms, and for those others impacted by them. To do so, she had to face her own fear, denial, resistance, and ultimate not knowing. The events inspiring her were beyond her control and rearranged her life without her permission. The unique complex she identifies results from our relationship with the unconscious, and our corresponding personal and collective attitudes toward schizophrenia—how its meaning manifests and the intense emotional responses it arouses.

The Schizophrenia Complex
Bridging from personal story to the collective and archetypal, Chiron Publications‘ The Schizophrenia Complex is a ground-breaking account of the feelings and emotions generated by what we call schizophrenia. Also, here is a story about the quintessential power of Eros to constellate hope, even when we are faced with the chaos of the unconscious.
“With the clarity of a scholar and the passion of a mother and a poet, Eve Maram describes her encounter with schizophrenia within and without. This is a unique documentation of the soul’s journey into and through chaos. Of value to professional clinician and layperson alike, it is a book for our times.” -Murray Stein, Ph.D. Author of Jung’s Map of the Soul

She is a member of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts (IRSJA) and the CG Jung Institute of Santa Fe, as well as the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP).
