It is rare to speak of the i ntense emotions and complex unconscious motivations that influence social policy decisions\, thereby treating these decisions as if they were impers onal. Yet there is no doubt that early personal experiences combined with archetypal forces profoundly affect the behavior of political leaders. The psychological difficulties of political leaders may become unconsciously incorporated into public policy and group fantasies\, which are often acte d out in the form of authoritarianism\, war\, nationalism\, and other soci ally destructive projects. Conversely\, political leaders may act out the irrational fears of their society.\n\nPolicy decisions can have major effe cts on our inner lives when they resonate with our deepest fears and hopes . Depth psychology has much to offer in clarifying this interaction and co ntributing to our social evolution. This conference will address some of o ur most pressing social problems from the perspective of Jungian and other depth psychologies\, clearing a path for the potential healing of our cur rent cultural situation.\n\nWe hope you will join us for a stimulating and meaningful conference\, building a bridge between our two communities\, a nd furthering depth psychology in our contemporary world.\nConference Prog ram and Special Pre-Conference Reception\nThe conference will take place a t the St. Joseph Center Auditorium in Orange\, California.

Various authors have noted that\, for many people\, war is a kin d of sacrament or blood ritual that draws on the archetypal energies withi n the psyche. It is not surprising that religious passions so often produc e violence\; one can think of violence and nationalism as aspects of the p syche's intrinsic religious function\, so that war becomes intoxicating\, allowing a sense of participation in a greater whole. A better understandi ng of the unconscious\, spiritual\, and mythic roots of militarism will he lp us to develop antidotes to this global plague.\nLionel Corbett\, M.D.\, trained in medicine and psychiatry in England and as a Jungian analyst at the C.G.
