On the Psychology, Shadow, and Projection of Politics with Dr. Peter T Dunlap

Join me for a discussion with Dr. Peter T Dunlap about politics projection and how to save the future with psychology.  Welcome to our podcast, where today's special guest is Peter T. Dunlap, a remarkable psychologist with a unique blend of private and political practice experience. Raised by a psychologically aware mother and a father who was a liberal legislator in California, Peter has seamlessly integrated these diverse influences into his work. Peter's journey in psychology spans over three decades, beginning in 1990. His expertise lies in helping individuals discover meaning in their personal and professional lives, navigate relational challenges, and embark on a journey towards self-improvement. He is the acclaimed author of "Awakening our Faith in the Future: The Advent of Psychological Liberalism" (Routledge, 2008), among numerous other scholarly articles, book chapters, and contributions to Tikkun magazine. Dedicated to fostering emotional intelligence within communities, Peter has been pivotal in founding a distinct Jungian political psychology and cultivating the role of "citizen therapist". His work aims to empower community leaders, activists, psychotherapists, and individuals eager to strengthen their civic engagement through both individual and group settings. By extending emotional intelligence to a public sphere, Peter's approach seeks to transform interpersonal dynamics and celebrate the diversity of values in our society. At the intersection of Jungian psychology and political practice, Peter has made significant contributions to international Jungian communities, serving on boards like the International Association of Jungian Studies (IAJS) and the Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies (JSSS), and as a guest editor for the Journal for Jungian Scholarly Studies.
