Locally based in Everett, Washington, Dr. Lockhart—Jungian analyst, trainer, scholar, writer, editor, and publisher over more than 50 years—has generously offered to use a question and answer format to invite discussion and share his extensive Jungian knowledge with participants. The first session will engage with Dr. Lockhart ‘s Appassionato for the Imagination. In this essay, Dr. Lockhart discusses the relationship between Jung’s Red Book, modern art, and the concept of Other. From this perspective, Dr. Lockhart asks for us today,
“How…and in what way, can the Red Book be a guide?”
Many in the Jungian community of the Pacific Northwest are familiar with the work of Russell Lockhart, Ph.D. After serving as the Director of Training at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and Research Clinician at the Camarillo State Hospital, he moved to the Pacific Northwest, where he became an analyst, mentor, colleague and friend to many people who were searching for heart and meaning in the midst of intense personal and cultural transformation.
What many do not know is that the influential writing in two of his books, Words as Eggs: Psyche in Language and Clinic, and Psyche Speaks: A Jungian Approach to Self and World, only scratch the surface of Russell Lockhart’s creativity. Artist, poet, publisher, novelist, and much more, Dr. Lockhart is a catalyst of the unconscious. We deeply appreciate Dr. Lockhart’s support of the Seattle Jung Society’s mission “To Liberate Soul in Service to the Great Turning” by making this archive available only to current members of the Society.
