Academic work, Kaye Gersch PhD

My academic work provides the underpinning of my professional (and personal) life. 

Mostly, it is a now-invisible bedrock. However, this bedrock also fertilises my more scholarly pieces, some of which I include here.  

I also provide summaries of my Masters in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (2002) and Doctoral thesis The Feminine in Body Language and Spirituality from School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics, University of Queensland, 2013.  

On my PhD page you will also discover a link to the full text of my thesis, to which you have open access, through the University of Queensland.

Please use my work freely, with due acknowledgements, including reference to this website.

I trust that my work provides fuel for your own.

Just before Jung died in 1961 he wrote: 

"Nothing is holy any longer (CW 18 para 581 and 2). Through scientific understanding our world has become dehumanised. (Our) immediate communication with nature is gone for ever (para 585) No wonder the Western world feels uneasy, for it does not know how much...it has lost through the destruction of its numinosities. Its moral and spiritual tradition has collapsed, and has left a worldwide disorientation and dissociation."
