Why? Research from many fields of study show that loneliness has become an epidemic in the industrialized world, causing very real medical consequences such as addiction, depression, anxiety, and suicide: all things which have been on the rise for decades. And yet, because of various historical, philosophical, and economic reasons, we do not nurture traditional cultural ways of satisfying these instincts. Erik Goodwyn will explore the idea that stopping the rising misery will not only require socioeconomic changes but will require a profound cultural change. Only then will we be able to stop the slow starvation of social belonging, archetypal narratives, rituals, spirituality, and images as vessels of meaning.<\/p>\n<p>BIO<\/p>\n<p>Erik Goodwyn, PhD, is the medical director for the Cody Regional Health Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Clinic as well as the inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation center for Cody, Wyoming, USA. He is adjunct professor of psychiatry through the University of Louisville, a veteran, and co-editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Jungian Studies. He has published in the fields of psychiatry, the psychology of religion, philosophy of mind, code biology, and behavioral sciences.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hZI3SQdpYAI\">View on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erik Goodwyn \u2013 FIGHTING THE CULTURE OF LONELINESS June 23, 2025 at 03:04PM ABSTRACT Despite tremendous advances in technology, developed countries are more anxious, depressed, suicidal, and addicted today than we were 100 years ago.
