Friday Lecture:
C. G. Jung’s theory of psychological type offers us tremendous insight, yet people who are identical in type may still approach the world with very different attitudes and assumptions. How we make sense of the world involves emotional investments and intellectual frameworks that tie to, but also go beyond, type.
Joseph Henderson, a co-author, with Jung, of Man and His Symbols, worked on this problem in his book, Cultural Attitudes in Psychological Perspective. Henderson observed that different people apply different cultural values as they engage with the world around them. He called these the social attitude, the religious attitude, the philosophical attitude, the aesthetic attitude, and, a relative latecomer, the psychological attitude.
With the help of an illustrative clip from a classic film, John Beebe will lead us in exploring these orientations toward what is offered already by our culture. Participants will take away a new way of observing and understanding themselves and others.
Saturday Workshop:
In this workshop, we’ll look at our cultural attitudes in depth and explore how they impact our lives and relationships. We’ll also look at the interplay between psychological type and cultural attitudes.
Dr. Beebe will lead us in investigating the implications of the cultural attitudes for therapy. We’ll also consider whether it is possible or desirable to try to develop the attitudes that we do not naturally prefer and ask whether we should be working in parenting or therapy to foster the development of the cultural attitudes.
Biography:
John Beebe, M.D., a past president of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, is a psychiatrist who specializes in psychotherapy. He is the author of Integrity in Depth and Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type: The Reservoir of Consciousness. He is co-author, with Virginia Apperson, of The Presence of the Feminine in Film, and co-editor, with Ernst Falzeder, of The Question of Psychological Types. A Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, he has written about psychological types for numerous books and journals. Beebe’s eight-function, eight-archetype model of type is widely studied and applied in the field. In addition, he has spearheaded a Jungian typological approach to the analysis of film.

Robert Romanyshyn, Ph.D.
Re-storying the Connection between Nature and Soul
Friday Lecture, May 8, 2020
Saturday Workshop, May 9, 2020
Friday Lecture ~ May 8, 2020
Using Mary Shelley's classic story of Frankenstein as an illustration of Jung's notion of a visionary work of art, I will summarize it and then discuss it as a cultural-historical dream that lingers today as prophecy. Specifically, I will show how Victor Frankenstein's desire to become a new God who would use the powers of technology to erase the stain of death from life haunts us now as the dying of nature. In addition, I will discuss how a psychological reading of her work draws us to the margins of the story where the Monster's untold tale carries the shadow side of his maker's dream but is also a seed of hope for a new kind of ethics that re-members our broken connections with the natural world.
Saturday Workshop ~ May 9, 2020
In the context of the lecture, workshop participants are asked to bring their stories of the natural world which have inspired wonder and have displayed the splendor of the simple, the miracle in the mundane, the extraordinary in the ordinary. The workshop will focus on two practices that can prepare one for such experiences. One of them is a way of working with dreams and the other is the cultivation of a poetic sensibility whose characteristics I will describe. Participants are invited to bring examples of creative ways they have used to express their re-awakened sense of wonder.
