In this two-day workshop, Dr. Corbett will explore suffering and the problem of evil in the biblical story of Job who will be considered as contemporary person undergoing a severe crisis and devastating loss.  In the process, Dr. Corbett will suggest a depth psychological approach to suffering and the notion of the dark side of the divine.  In contrast to the traditional idea of evil, we will consider it as the result of developmental and emotional difficulties in the life of the individual.  This psychological approach does not excuse or justify evil, but it makes evil better understood.  We will also discuss the origins of cruelty and hatred towards others.

So as to promote a thoughtful and more intimate learning environment, this event is limited to 20 participants and pre-registration is required.  Lunch will be provided.
