Mind of State: Politics, Psyche and Soul in Turbulent Times with Thomas Singer & Betty Teng
August 28, September 4, 11, 18, 25, October 2, 2024
6 week webinar series | 6 CECs | Offered Live via Zoom
Hosted by Pacifica Graduate Institute
Join Thomas Singer and Betty Teng, who along with Jonathan Kopp edited the book, Mind of State: Conversations on the Psychological Conflicts Stirring U.S. Politics & Society, for this webinar series.
This course is Ideal for:
- Students: undergraduates, graduates and psychoanalytic candidates
- Mental Health professionals: therapists of any modality working with individuals or groups in community mental health, hospital, private practice and/or university settings
- Any individual interested in exploring the intersection of psychology and politics—how psychology drives politics, and vice-versa—in the United States
The book, Mind of State: Conversations on the Psychological Conflicts Stirring U.S. Politics & Society, is a compilation of conversations that help fit together the broken pieces of our American psycho-political jigsaw puzzle.
These nuanced discussions offer insights and reflections from leading experts – on psychology, politics, race, religion and more – to those of us struggling to make sense of our American political nonsense.
Drawn from the Mind of State podcast created by some of the co-authors and contributors to the New York Times bestseller, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, this collection is as relevant now as it was when Apple Podcasts featured it as “New and Noteworthy” in 2019.
The chapters are divided into five sections that reveal persistent themes underlying our increasing distress due to the interconnectedness of psychology and politics in the United States: Acknowledging Death, Trauma, and Loss; Why Truth Matters; Anxieties of Race and Dominance; Democracy at Risk; and The Importance of Myth in Politics
Contributors include Antoine Banks, Anne Barnard, Jessica Benjamin, Pauline Boss, Jules Cashford, Michael A. Cohen, Lisa Damour, William Davies, Megan Doney, Susan Fiske, Betty Sue Flowers, Justin Frank, Peter Glick, Anton Hart, Judith Herman, Adrienne Hollis, Ashley Jardina, Robert Jay Lifton, Eric Liu, Lilliana Mason, William “Scotty” McLennan, Nate Persily, Nancy Rosenblum, Thomas Singer, Hawthorne “Hawk” Smith, Sheldon Solomon, Michael Tansey, Eric Ward and Deva Woodly.

Volume 11 – The Song of the Soul: The Transpersonal Dimension of Psyche & Sound by Lena Måndotter
At the core we are all vibrations, musical compositions in motion, and that is why we resonate in communion with the world of music. The human voice is the only instrument that sounds from within, and our singing voice is deeply connected to heart and soul. In the timbre and tonal nuances of the voice we can perceive subtle soul messages – way beyond words. The sound of the voice mirrors the movements in the depths of psyche, and this touches us profoundly.
To liberate the voice is to liberate psyche. To free the sound is to free the soul. Singing requires deep listening, instinctual attention, pure vocal presence, and the song is a musical alchemical vessel for psychospiritual transformation. Music is a magical magnet, a sacred gift from the Muses, so that our songs may sound the mana of the Mysterion.
Lena Måndotter’s lifelong voyage with soul and song can inspire us all to reclaim our instinctual singing voice. C.G. Jung wrote that “music should be an essential part of every analysis.” This book shows why and is a testament to the healing power of song. |

Sanctuary: The Inner Life of Home
“This anthology explores our longing for sanctuary and the mythology of home from many viewpoints—a treasure trove of storytelling.” Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D.
If you want to get to know someone, listen to their story of home. Intimacy builds as we ask: Where do you come from? What did you leave behind? Where do you feel safe? In Sanctuary, these questions are explored by Jungian analysts, architects and historians, scientists, and storytellers. Contributors also consider how climate change, Black Lives Matter, and an unprecedented wave of global refugees are impacting our notions of home and hospitality. |
| | | Jung and the Epic of Transformation
Volume 1, Wolfram von Eschenbach’s “Parzival” and the Grail as Transformation
This is the first volume in a series of books, examining key texts in German literature and thought that were, in Jung’s own estimation or by scholarly consent, highly influential on his thinking. The project ofJung and the Epic of Transformation consists of four titles, sequentially arranged to explore great works from a Jungian perspective and in turn to highlight their importance for interpreting The Red Book.

Slender Threads: A Conversation with Robert A. Johnson
In spite of Robert Johnson’s fascinating and accomplished life, he rarely sat for interviews. In 2002, Pittman McGehee, Jr. gathered a film crew of talented friends to film his father, Episcopal priest and Jungian analyst, J. Pittman McGehee, Sr. to interview Robert over the course of two days. The resulting film, Slender Threads, is a long ranging interview covering many topics relevant to today’s world and has garnered quite an online following over the past 20 years.
This book, Slender Threads, is based on the transcript of the interview, and includes an introduction by Pittman McGehee, Jr., Ph.D. as well as the original introduction to the film by J. Pittman McGehee, Sr. D.D. |
