SUMMARY:The Vision Thing: Myth\, Politics and Psyche in the World
DESCRIPTION:THE VISION THING:\nMyth\, Politics and Psyche in the World\npre
 sented by\nThomas Singer\, M.D.\nMarch 23\, 2001\nDoctor Singer's title fo
 r his new book was taken from a phrase uttered by President George Bush wh
 en his re-election campaign was foundering. He described his problem of co
 nnecting with a restless electorate as "the vision thing."\nThe "vision th
 ing" experienced at a personal and collective level attempts to bring toge
 ther the political and mythological realms through psychological experienc
 e. Vision is seen with the mind's or spirit's eye and "thing" designates t
 he most basic\, concrete stuff of reality. "It is a rare leader who can ar
 ticulate the true vision that fits with real politics."\nDr. Singers' idea
  for this book grew out of a conversation with Senator Bill Bradley which 
 was followed by a "big" dream which became his guide in assembling a verit
 able feast of papers from leading Jungian analysts including Joseph Hender
 son\, Betty Meador\, John Beebe and Andrew Samuels.\nDr. Singer will share
  his personal reflections and something of his experience with these disti
 nguished contributors. The topic is extremely timely\, and this talk is a 
 wonderful opportunity to see current political events through the lens of 
 Analytical Psychology and mythology.\n"It is\, unfortunately\, only too cl
 ear that if the individual is not truly regenerated in spirit\, society ca
 nnot be either\, for society is the sum total of individuals in need of re
 demption." ~C.G.Jung\,TheUndiscoveredSelf\n"The great events of world hist
 ory are\, at bottom\, profoundly unimportant. In the last analysis\, the e
 ssential thing is the life of the individual." ~C.G.Jung\,CivilizationinTr
 ansition\nThomas Singer\, M.D.is a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst. He is
  Chair of the Extended Education Committee of the San Francisco C.G.Jung I
 nstitute and author ofWho's the Patient Here: Portrait of the Young Psycho
