Why did Freud Read Agatha Christie? March 28 & 29 online, 4 Continuing Education Credits. Every Symptom is a Clue. Every Patient is a Mystery.

In his final years, Sigmund Freud indulged in a peculiarly modernist pastime: the reading of detective novels. But for the father of psychoanalysis, the works of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers were far more than a "guilty pleasure."

Freud famously remarked that his case histories read more like detective novels than medical reports. This was no accident. Psychoanalysis and the detective novel spring from the same cultural soil, fueled by a shared obsession: the quest to piece together the hidden truth from the fragments left behind.

Key periods of Freud’s life and work were mirrored by landmarks in the history of detective fiction. As Freud and Breuer were declaring that ‘hysterics fall ill mainly through reminiscences’ in 1893, Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty were plunging to their (assumed) mutual destruction at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. The ‘Golden Age’ of detective fiction, which ran between 1920 and 1939, coincides with the final period of Freud’s career, from the publication of Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920) to his final completed major work Moses and Monotheism (1939). Indeed, Freud’s birth year of 1856 sits comfortably between the two acknowledged originating moments of detective fiction, the publication of Poe’s ‘The Murders of the Rue Morgue’ (1841) and Collins’ The Moonstone (1868). While Sherlock Holmes was busy decoding the traces of the past, Freud was declaring that the 'mysteries' of the mind were equally decipherable.

Join us for a deep-dive investigation into the shared DNA of the Analyst and the Detective. In this course, we will explore the unique themes shared between psychoanalysis and the detective novel: plotting, catharsis, ‘revelation' and deferred action.

Together we will explore the affinities between the psychoanalysts’ search for the origin of the symptom, and the detective’s quest to piece together the clues left by the culprit. Both Freud and and the detective novels dig through the "archaeological" metaphors of clues to reveal monumental truths.

My mind is thousands of miles away, locked on the horizon of South Africa. This trip isn't just another tour; I’ve poured every ounce of inspiration into our upcoming Africa trips.
We aren't just going to "see" Africa; we are going to feel it and protect it.
Imagine standing with our on ground conservation team in South Africa, heartbeat racing, as we move to save a rhino from the reach of poachers. It is raw, it is vital, and it is a level of access very few people on this planet will ever experience.

This is for those who want to be part of a story that changes them forever.

There is a strange, beautiful magic in planning a journey to the heart of the wild in Africa while sitting on a terrace overlooking the Grand Canal. 🇮🇹
As I watch the gondolas pass by here in Venice, my mind is already thousands of miles away, locked on the horizon of South Africa and Zimbabwe. These trips aren’t just another tour; they are the culmination of my own 6 week journey, and I’ve poured every ounce of that inspiration into these two upcoming expeditions.

There is a specific kind of magic that settles over Venice Italy on a Monday night, once the weekend crowds have retreated and the city is still. Walking through the quiet, my shoes echoing in the misty fog, I realize I’ve crossed that invisible line from visitor to friend.

Navigating the labyrinth of alleyways and bridges can be exciting, as you never know what you’ll find. I am no longer the obvious visitor holding my phone with the glow from Google Maps. I’ve traded my screen for the lovely feeling of knowing the hidden winding alleyways by heart. In the local trattorie and shops, I’m no longer greeted with a tourist menu in English, but with a warm smile and a conversation in my steadily improving Italian. It’s a beautiful irony that among these ancient stones, I feel more seen and connected to the people around me than I ever did in the sprawling bustle of Los Angeles. Here, in the silence of a Monday evening, Venice isn’t a destination, it’ my home away from home. Ti amo Venezia 💜

The ritual and the deep meaning of a journey .

Every February, my internal compass points to the same place: the Jungian Winter Intensive. ❄️✨

Coming here and bringing my groups here for years has become more than a tradition; it’s a reminder to re- connect with myself. One of my favorite rituals is bringing newcomers to the main station to look up. Hanging high above the rush of travelers is Niki de Saint Phalle’s Guardian Angel.

She’s vibrant, massive, and a reminder that even in the chaos of transit and life, and the chaos of our own psyche, we are reminded to take note of our surroundings and the richness art can bring to our souls.

Finding the right space to ground ourselves during the Jungian Winter Intensive is just as important as the lectures themselves. Every February, I find myself back at my favorite chocolate and coffee sanctuary in Zurich. There is something about the rich aroma of cocoa and the warmth of this cafe that perfectly complements our deep dives into the psyche. It’s become a cherished tradition to bring my groups here—a place to transition from the “inner world” of the Jung Institute back into the beauty of the city, one truffle at a time. ☕️🍫

🏛️ There is something incredibly rare about finding myself completely alone in a place that usually hums with the noise of many tourists. I never expected this. In the middle of a city that never stops moving, I found myself completely alone at Hadrian’s Library.

For hours, it was just me and these towering Corinthian columns. No crowds, no voices, just the sun hitting the ancient stone and a stillness that felt like a gift. To have a place of such history all to myself is something I’ll never forget. I had a private audience with history and the ancient Gods.

It was a conversation with the past that I’ll carry with me forever. Some places are worth the wait; some moments are worth the solitude.
