THE DARK SIDE OF US POLITICS: Depth Psychologists Analyze The U.S. Presidential Election

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 30, 2012

The Asheville Jung Center, in conjunction with The C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco and innerQuest Psychiatry held a 5 hour internet seminar last weekend entitled The “Citizens Dilemma in Divisive Times: Four Voices”. The live presentation was broadcast to a global audience and explored the unconscious trends that grip not only Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, but essentially all of U.S. Politics. The seminars offers 5 hours of Continuing Education Credit for therapists.

Tired of Pundits, PACs, and Politicians?

Surprised to see ABCs Nightline featuring a psychoanalysts profile of the candidates after the second debate?

How does anyone get their bearings from the Spirit of the Depths as well as the Spirit of the Times?

When Candidate Obama said so, its not surprising that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who arent like them.. (speech April 10, 2008) he was speaking of the psychology that shapes the body politic.

Four Jungian presenters offer a radically different approach to deciphering the mystery of the psychologically charged times in this Presidential election.

The Huffington Posts recent interview by Pythia Peay with Dr. Murray Stein discussed some of these deeper forces shaping this presidential election. Excerpts from the interview illustrate how Jungian Psychology can reveal the code:

Dr. Murry Stein, president of the International School of Analytical Psychology, describes our two party political system as “whenever you have two of anything running against each other you’re going to have a splitting process: It’s a psychological phenomenon.

Dr. Stein goes on to say Differences are necessary in order to have growth and dynamic movement. Out of the dialectic between two polarities, a new possibility emerges. But if the “opposites,” or in this case the two parties, become completely unrelated, then the collective psyche is in danger of splitting: There’s no forward movement, there’s just mutual aggression, stalemate and stagnation. The system doesn’t evolve, it devolves, and you don’t want to see that happen.

The Citizens Dilemma in Divisive Times: Four Voices internet seminar is a deep exploration of the undercurrents and shaping forces at play in this highly charged historical moment.

The seminar is still available for viewing at http://ashevillejungcenter.org/webinars/w7/

Presenters:

Thomas Singer, MD, a psychiatrist/Jungian analyst will explores emotions and complexes in the collective psyche.

Richard Stein, MD, a psychiatrist/Jungian analyst, offers guidance for the introvert in times of political extremism.

Naomi Ruth Lowinsky, PhD an analyst and poet reminds us that poetry sings our cultural myths, mourns whats been lost, and praises the newborn day.

Richard Tarnas, PhD, author of The Passion of Western Mind and Cosmos and Psyche explores our times from an archetypal astrological perspective.







BuyCostumes.com Official Presidential Mask Poll Offers Up Tricks and Treats for the 2012 Election Season

New Berlin, WI (PRWEB) August 31, 2012

For the past two primaries, they’ve also predicted the party nominees this year Mitt Romney finished with 21% of the overall vote.

On August 27th, 2012, BuyCostumes.com started tracking mask sales for the Vice-Presidential candidates, Joe Biden and Paul Ryan. Romney better hope that Ryan adds an additional level of popularity to his candidacy because according to the current poll results, Barack Obama has a rather significant lead. If the election took place today, Obama would be the clear winner with 62% of the votes!

How influential is the Vice Presidential nominee on the overall election? Looking at only presidential candidate mask sales from 2008, Obama would have won the election with 58% of total mask sales. Factoring in the sales of Sarah Palin and Joe Biden masks, however, brought the race much closer (and much more in line with the actual popular vote) – Palin outsold Biden 5 to 1.

Will Ryan have the same effect on Romneys campaign? BuyCostumes.com will be tracking the outcome of the election through sales of the new VP candidates masks at BuyCostumes.com/PresidentialMaskPoll.

Vote early, vote often! Go to BuyCostumes.com/PresidentialMaskPoll to cast your vote and buy your candidate into office.

Third Presidential Debate Focuses on Foreign Policy; GreenBeanBuddy Comments Candidates’ Disparity Clearly Seen on Defense Budget

Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 22, 2012

For the third and last time before the election, Barrack Obama and Mitt Romney will face each other on a debate. And as abclocal.go.com reported, foreign policy was the chosen focus of it. But among other matters, the candidates’ stand on the issue of military budget cuts clearly presented their small foreign policy difference, GreenBeanBuddy commented.

According to political analyst Capozzi, and as related by the abclocal report, “…the winner won’t come from what is said but how it’s presented.” That’s because there is but a small foreign policy disparity between the candidates, asserted GreenBeanBuddy.

Set to take place in Lynn University in Florida, the said debate will tackle the issues about the deadly attacks in Libya, the war in Afghanistan, the nuclear ambition of Iran and the rise of China.

Here is an excerpt from the post Third Presidential to Tackle Foreign Policies by GreenBeanBuddy.com.

The third and final presidential debate between Barrack Obama and Mitt Romney is all set for tonight. And the chosen battleground is the state of Florida. The focus foreign policy.

According to polls, Romney won the first debate. And though several people said that he tied with the Democrat on the second, many countered that Obama reclaimed himself and bagged it. But with the third debate, critics say that the winner will be determined more on how he presented his points than what his points are.

As said by the news website GreenBeanBuddy.com, small may be the difference between the two candidates in terms of foreign policy, it’s still a difference. And that, it said, lies on their plans to solve the foreign issues to which they are in agreement. However, that small disparity is clearly presented by their opposing stand on the issue about the cutting of military budget more than anything else, the website added.
