Free 1 Hour Webinar!
Tuesday, April 18 2017
With author and psychiatrist, Steven Buser, MD
President Trump’s 2016 victory stunned the world and unleashed a new era in U.S. politics. The Trump presidency has brought profound unconscious forces to surface in the United States with intensities not seen in decades. The Psychological fallout has been extreme. Those that watch current events with solely a rational eye, unaware of the deeper psychological forces underlying the headlines, will miss the primary forces afoot and risk being tossed about a chaotic sea of half-truths and symbolic dialogue.
Join us on Tuesday, April 18th, 1:30 pm Eastern U.S. Time, for a free 1 hour webinar, as we explore:
• Is he arrogant or a Narcissist?
• Is he a Confident Man or a Con Man?
• What is a Shadow Presidency?
• What is a national unconscious Trump Complex?
• What is meant by Post Trump-matic Stress Disorder?
This will be a free, interactive webinar. Participants will be invited to unmute their computer (or smartphone) microphones and join the discussion on this vital topic. A recorded version of the webinar will be available a few days after the event.
Steven Buser, M.D. trained in medicine at Duke University and served 12 years as a physician in the US Air Force. He is a graduate of a two-year Clinical Training Program at the CG Jung Institute of Chicago and is the co-founder of the Asheville Jung Center. He is co-editor of A Clear and Present Danger: Narcissism in the Era of President Trump. In addition to a busy psychiatric private practice, he serves as Publisher at Chiron Publications.

Erich Neumann has been widely considered to be Jung's most brilliant student
and heir to the mantle of leadership among analytical psychologists
until his untimely death in 1960 at the age of fifty-five. Many of his
works are considered classics in the field to the present day - The Origins and History of Consciousness and The Great Mother, to name just the best known among many others. Now with the publication of the correspondence between Neumann and Jung (Analytical Psychology in Exile,
Princeton University Press, 2015) and of the substantial papers
presented at the conference held at Kibbutz Shefayim in Israel honoring
the publication of the correspondence (Troubled Times, Creative Minds,
Chiron 2016), a great deal of new interest is developing in the life
and works of Neumann. The five-part webinar Series will be devoted to
exploring the important relationship between Neumann and Jung and
discussing Neumann's works in many areas, clinical and cultural, from
the perspective of analytical psychology. The aim of this Series is to
contribute to the momentum of growing interest in the full range of
Neumann's writings.

Blue Salamandra films is pleased to offer this remarkable interaction between Thomas B. Kirsch and Murray Stein on DVD.
Thomas B. Kirsch M.D. received his psychiatric training at Stanford University, and graduated from the CG Jung Institute of San Francisco in 1968. He is the author of The Jungians, of a memoir, A Jungian Life, as well as numerous articles on analytical psychology. He was president of the CG Jung Institute of San Francisco, and vice president and then president for six years of the International Association for Analytical Psychology.
Thomas Kirsch is by now the elder states person of analytical psychology. This is the most personal, revealing and thought provoking interview he has given. It is fascinating to watch as Kirsch ranges over the whole gamut of issues facing analytical psychology going forward. Equally significant are his mature reflections on life, illness, facing death, and those familial and human dynamics to which he has been exposed. I have known Tom Kirsch for forty years but I got a lovely and fresh angle on my friend from Murray Stein’s perfectly pitched interview. -Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex.
Tom Kirsch’s fundamental modesty, quiet thoughtfulness, deep knowledge of the Jungian tradition, and direct, finely informed feeling shines through every moment of this extraordinary film. Murray Stein’s sensitive and probing questioning allows Dr. Kirsch’s exacting memory of people, places, and issues of different eras in his long life career as a Jungian to flow like the film’s music – with a warmth and beauty that is both touching and enlightening. The film has a wonderful tone – in its color, in its conversation, and in its depth. -Tom Singer, M.D.
Murray Stein, PhD. was President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) from 2001 to 2004 and President of the International School of Analytical Psychology in Zurich (ISAPZURICH) from 2008 to 2012. He is the author of many books and articles on Analytical Psychology and Jungian psychoanalysis and has a private practice in Zurich.

Jungian Odyssey 2017
ISAPZURICH's Annual Conference and Retreat
Early registration has been extended to April 20!
Click for Registration
Since
2006 the annual conference and retreat has opened ISAPZURICH's
post-graduate program to all with interest in C.G. Jung and Analytical
Psychology. "The earth has a spirit of her own," Jung mused, and
elsewhere he called it the genius loci, the spirit of the place. It is
this, the particular genius loci, that infuses each Odyssey as it leads
us to a different place in Switzerland each year and inspires each
Odyssey's topic. So, too, this spirit imbues our presenters' views on
contemporary research in a variety of fields, and as well, their
handling of traditional areas of Jungian interest-fairytale, dream,
myth, art, religion, personal and collective experience, clinical
practice.
Navigating Otherness: Friend or Foe?
The Jungian Odyssey 2017 takes place in the French-speaking Canton of Vaud, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Lavaux Riviera. Here vineyards hang between heaven and earth; monks grew grapes already in the 11th century; Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky composed; and Charlie Chaplin lived in exile from McCarthyism’s witch-hunt in the USA. Our main venue is in Montreux. Renowned for its jazz festival, the city faces the snow-covered French Alps and nestles in a sheltered bay of Lake Geneva. We will be “at port” in the lakeside Belle-Époque Hotel Eden Palace au Lac. In walking distance lies Chillon Castle, a medieval fortress and architectural jewel that well symbolizes the region’s history of clashing and asylum-seeking Others. In a nutshell:
From 1218 to the early 16th century the Vaud region was divided, standing largely under the reign of the great Savoys of Italy and France. But by 1536, the German-speaking Swiss from Bern had conquered the territory and imposed the Protestant reformation. During the Bernese rule, reformist Christians fleeing persecution found refuge in the Montreux area. Yet conflict between the Francophone and Germanic cultures was broiling. Galvanized by the French Revolution and aided by Napoleon’s army, the Vaudois in 1798 ousted their Bernese occupiers. Hardly was this done than did Napoleon take over Switzerland and make of the Vaud region a canton of the new culturally diverse and loosely allied Swiss Republic, modeled on his République. But already in 1802, the alliance fell to a bloody civil war. Repair began in 1803 when Napoleon established the basis for today’s Swiss Confederation. To this day, though, there exists the “Röstigraben,” the “hash-brown potato trench.” On one side of it stand the Vaudois and the other French-speaking Swiss, still a struggling minority—and on the other side, the German-speaking Swiss, the steadfast majority of the land. The envisaged “trench” acknowledges a divide but also a latent meeting place, urging us all to face the Otherness and the friend/ foe dilemmas in our lives.
We invite your immersion in this symbolically resonant place, and your exploration of Otherness, this basic aspect of human being. We aim to better understand how and why we as individuals and groups erect fortresses against other persons, cultures, religions, classes, races, genders—but also build bridges to reach them. Where and how do we experience the Other within and outside of ourselves? In the outer world of collapsing boundaries and swelling migration and immigration? In personal relationships? In the perhaps most intimate realm, where we encounter the uncanny Other as foreigners in our dreams, in our shadowy attitudes, in our duresses of soul, or even in the form of psychic illness? How do we relate to the ultimate Other, to the unnamable wholly Other, the transcendent? Can we recognize and reconcile the Others within and outside as catalysts for growth and individuation? |

Venue, Cost, Registration
The Eden Palace au Lac, opened in 1896, is 4-star hotel located on the shore of Lake Geneva. Outside of the city hub-bub, it is but a 10-minute walk from the Montreux train station, and an easy jaunt along the lake promenade to the city center with its abundant shops, bars, and restaurants. The hotel’s restored interior structures beautifully display the elegant Belle-Époque design. The furnishings in Louis XVI style show what we call “faded glory.” Yet both indoors and outdoors on the flowering terraces, the hotel offers a splendid and relaxing ambience. All bedrooms are furnished as doubles, but priced for single and double occupancy. They are all equipped with WC, shower, telephone, and free wireless LAN. Most streetview rooms have a balcony; of these, many look onto a mountain backdrop. All the lakeview rooms have a balcony or a terrace overlooking Lake Geneva and the French Alps. Wellness offerings include massage, sauna, steam bath, and—weather permitting—outdoor swimming in the small pool or in the lake. We urge your early registration, as the room availabilities are limited. Also, your registration by April 1 comes with a price advantage!
Your Odyssey Package Covers:
- Chartered bus Zürich/Montreux/Zürich on May 27 and June 3
- 4-star hotel, 7 overnights with full board (excluding dinner on the two excursion days and beverages at all meals)
- 7-day program of lectures, seminars, workshops, special events, wine reception, daily meditation and coffee break

Ensoulment is an encounter with young filmmaker Lorís Simón Salum as she struggles to explain the feminine, according to psychologist Carl Jung’s theories.
She interviews authors and leaders in the field of psychology, including Dr. James Hollis, Dr. Abigail Disney, Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, Dr. Cynthia Eller and Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, amongst others, to broaden her perspective about what the feminine is and how it takes place in Western culture. What starts out as an attempt to make a film, ends in a search of meaning, belonging and the path back to her true self.
Ensoulment is the compilation of the complete interviews performed in the award-winning documentary by the same name.
Writer, director and editor, Lorís Simón Salum graduated from Rice University with a BA in Psychology. Shortly after, she joined Literal Magazine where she wrote, directed and co-produced the documentary feature, Ensoulment: A Diverse Analysis of the Feminine in Western Culture. After numerous awards and worldwide screenings, Lorís opened Literal’s first international short film festival, Literally Short Film Festival. In 2016 she earned a Business Certification from Columbia University in New York City. Lorís continues to work as director and programmer at Literally Short.
