Emergence of the Heroine
Joseph Campbell, MA
In this lecture Joseph Campbell traces the emergence of the life of the woman, distinguished from that of the man. According to Campbell, woman’s biological imperative is that of the heroine.
Hero is defined simply as one who sacrifices one’s life for another. He states that “womanhood in its very biological base is heroic” in the service of nature. He demonstrates this through exploring the evolutionary and social development of both men and women, linking a multitude of archeological artifacts, and social rituals drawn from the prehistoric period through to Christian and Buddhist representations of the mother-goddess.

Attachment, Separation and Loss (2-dvds)
John Bowlby, MD
Almost two decades after developing his theory, John Bowlby, is now considered the father of the attachment theory. Bowlby’s research has since been extensively studied by others and his ideas and beliefs have been confirmed. He examines the processes that take place in attachment and separation. Bowlby shows that human attachment is an instinctive response to the need for protection against predators, and one as important for survival as nutrition and reproduction. Although Bowlby was primarily focused on understanding the nature of the infant-caregiver relationship, he believed that attachment characterized human experience from “the cradle to the grave.” This program was recorded in London, England 1984.

Reflections on Empathy
Heinz Kohut, MD
Kohut’s final speech, “Reflections on Empathy,” was given at the 1981 Self Psychology conference in Berkeley, California. He was aware he was dying, and at the conclusion of his speech he announced his final farewell. The audience, moved by his words, stood to express its deep appreciation. He died four days later on Thursday, October 8, 1981. Kohut's psychoanalytic and anthropological theory of the self contains the conceptual foundations of both his therapeutic practice and his intellectual excursions into sociology, art, and history. His theory of the self was a further development and extension of psychoanalysis.Kohut is indefatigable in stressing the role of empathy, that is, sympathetic understanding of the introspection of the Other. He intends empathy not only as a therapeutic agent, but also as an instrument of theoretical knowledge; in many places in Kohut’s works it even becomes a model of social conduct.

Search for Meaning in Life Today
Viktor Frankl
Viktor Frankl’s theory and therapy grew out of his experiences in Nazi death camps. He saw that people who had hopes of being reunited with loved ones, or who had projects they felt a need to complete, or who had great faith, tended to have better chances than those who had lost all hope. In this video he examines man’s search for meaning and the effect meaning has on life.

Joseph Campbell, MA
The psychological journey of two women in the modern world is examined through their paintings.
Joseph Campbell follows the psychological journey of two women in the modern world one from the 1920’s and the other from the 1940’s through examining the paintings they created during their psychoanalytical process. One woman was a client of Gerard Adler the other that of Carl Jung’s. Campbell illustrates the historical and social aspect of the female destiny to finding spiritual peace and beauty.
