SUMMARY:Annual Meeting & Lecture:  Attacks on Jung: A Psychological Perspe
 ctive
DESCRIPTION:Attacks on Jung:  A Psychological Perspective\nPresented by St
 even J. Frank\, Ph.D.\nMay 19\, 2000\nAs Jungians we have long become accu
 stomed to Jung not garnering the respect we believe to be his due in the a
 cademic world and his not being widely understood in popular culture. We h
 ave also become accustomed to concepts such as archetypes\, typology and s
 hadow being bandied about without reference to Jung.\nYet\, we have a very
  different reaction when we find Jung is the target of accusations which s
 eem unjust\, unfair or at the very least biased\, as was most recently the
  case in widely publicized books by Richard Noll and Frank McLynn.\nRather
  than become defensive\, another way to respond to such attacks is to appr
 oach the matter as Jungians would a dream or other manifestation of the un
 conscious - search for its essence\, find the inner truth and discover the
  significance for our Jungian community.\nIn his lecture Dr. Frank will ad
 dress our defensive responses to the attacks on Jung of Richard Noll\, who
  wrote The Jung Cult and The Aryan Christ\, and Frank McLynn\, who wrote t
 he biography titled Carl Gustav Jung. In their attacks on Jung and Jungian
  psychology\, ranging from cultism\, identification with Christ\, anti-Sem
 itism and womanizing\, these authors have stimulated a great deal of contr
 oversy in the Jungian community.\nDr. Franks' thesis is that if we can ack
 nowledge the attack-defense reaction that we\, as Jungians\, might feel wi
 th respect to these writers\, we can see the possibility of a third\, tran
 scending position. "We can do this if we look at these attacks and our res
 ponses to them symbolically. I think they represent shadow features of our
  group\, and they call for renewal of our identity as Jungians. They point
  to collective unconscious issues that are demanding the light of consciou
 sness in this transition to the Aquarian aeon."\nSteven J. Frank\, Ph.D. i
 s a Jungian Analyst in private practice in Westwood. He is a member of the
  faculty of the C.G.Jung Institute of Los Angeles and Director of the Kief
 fer Franz Clinic\, the non-profit clinic of the C.G.Jung Institute.\n\n\n\
