Special Expanded Forum and Book Signing
On Life's Journey: Always Becoming
Speaker: Daniel A. Lindley, PhD, LCSW
"This deeply personal memoir folds time and space, poignantly bridging one man's life and humanity's distant past with grace, wit, and quiet perception."
— W. Raymond Johnson, Ph.D., Director, Epigraphic Survey, Oriental Institute,
University of Chicago
In The Development of Personality, C.G. Jung wrote, "In every adult there lurks a child — an eternal child, something that is always becoming, is never completed, and calls for unceasing care, attention, and education. That is the part of the human personality that wants to develop and become whole." In this reflection on life's journey, Daniel Lindley applies the insights gleaned from many years of study of literature and psychoanalysis to show how we are always becoming–and always obligated to care for that archetypal child.
Drawing upon psychological truths expressed by Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Eliot, and others, Dr. Lindley illuminates the process of individuation through personal experience, art, and archetype. From birth to old age, he shows that, even in our separateness, we share an archetypal ground. According to Dr. Lindley, at any point in our lives, the path we walk is not unknown but has purpose and direction. We live out stories, which existed long before we did and will continue long after we are gone.
Daniel A. Lindley, Ph.D., L.C.S.W., has degrees from Yale, Harvard, Florida State, and Loyola University of Chicago. Formerly a schoolteacher and professor of English, he is a training analyst in the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago and is in private practice. He is the author of This Rough Magic: The Life of Teaching and On Life’s Journey: Always Becoming.

For Better or For Worse: Analytic Insights on the Transference in the Relationship of Clergy and Congregation
Speaker: Douglas Tompkins, MDiv, LP, NCPsyA
The Rosarium pictures of Jung’s “Psychology of the Transference” offer a helpful lens through which to view the conscious and unconscious relationship not only between analyst and analysand, but also between clergy and congregations. This forum will give an overview of the progression of this relationship and serve as an introduction to Mr. Tompkins’ upcoming Continuing Education course of the same name.
Douglas Tompkins, MDiv, LP, NCPsyA, is a Jungian psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City.
Tuesday, March 4, 2008, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
Ecology and Tantra Yoga
Speaker: Suzanne Ironbiter, Ph.D.
Tantra is a holistic yoga philosophy, aesthetic, and meditation practice for experiencing spirit in nature and enlightenment in life. Its insights can be useful in addressing our current environmental and health issues. This forum will consider how the tantra view can modify our dualistic practices of picturing ourselves apart from nature.
Suzanne Ironbiter has a doctorate in the history of religion from Columbia University and teaches at SUNY Purchase College. Her book, Devi: Mother of My Mind (MapinLit 2006), is a personal poetic interaction with the goddess tradition in the mythology, mysticism, and philosophy of India.

Narcissism and its Discontents
Speaker: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW-LP
Narcissistic injuries seem to be everywhere. Addictions, compulsions, controlling behavior, excessive anger and grandiosity all point to narcissistic injuries. Depression, anxiety, underachievement, creative blocks and relationship problems may also be signs. Narcissistic injuries resist consciousness and are often missed, even in analysis. Dr. McDowell will discuss symptoms, causes and treatment. This lecture is accessible to lay-people as well as to therapists.
Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW-LP is a Jungian analyst in private practice in New York City. President of the C.G. Jung Foundation for Analytical Psychology, he is also a faculty member of the Westchester Institute for Training in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis

A Writing / A Creative Life
Speaker: Susan Tiberghien
What is a writing life? For Susan Tiberghien it is a life that slows down to touch each moment, a life that deepens from an inner source. She was fifty years old when she started along the way. She will tell us how the well within her filled with fresh creativity when she cleared away the clutter and found words for her stories. Reading short passages from her new book, One Year to a Writing Life, she will start with journal writing, move to writing from dreams, go deeper with the alchemy of imagination, and finish with Writing the Way Home.
She will encourage us to be light-bearers in the world around us.
Susan M. Tiberghien is an American-born writer living in Geneva, Switzerland. The author of three memoirs, she has also published widely in journals and anthologies. Tiberghien teaches and lectures at graduate programs, at C.G. Jung Centers, and at writers’ conferences in the United States and in Europe.
