The Orphan: Being at One with Oneself and the World 

This lecture will focus on the experience of being alone and being at one with oneself in the world. The journey toward wholeness is accomplished by paying attention to the archetypal images that come to us through dreams, active imagination, and making time for imagining. Dr. Punnett will use excerpts from her book to illustrate the connection between psyche and spirit through the archetypal image of the orphan. Portions of the film, Amargosa will be shown to illustrate one woman’s individual journey towards wholeness.

Encountering the Other in the United States of America: Implications for Working with Children and Families

This lecture will address the collective shadow of the United States of America with illustrations of the development of the shadow of this country. The Declaration of Independence signed July 4, 1776, stating “…that all men are created equal…”, having the “right” to pursue happiness, and Emma Lazarus’ poem on the Statue of Liberty, essentially welcomed immigrants to this country. Despite the implication of acceptance, many immigrants, and indigenous peoples throughout American history, were seen as ‘the Other’. A brief history of the American family, childcare, and clinical work with an immigrant family will be presented and lead to discussion from the participants.
