*Corrections and clarifications: - David Cronenberg directed A Dangerous Method - James Hillman's book is called A Terrible Love of War Dr. David Tacey: Exploring the Depths of Literature, Depth Psychology, and Spirituality 📚🌌🔍 We are delighted to introduce Dr. David Tacey, a distinguished professor in literature and depth psychology at La Trobe University in Melbourne. With a prolific career spanning eight books, including "Jung and the New Age" (2001), "The Spirituality Revolution" (2003), and "How to Read Jung" (2006), Dr. Tacey has made significant contributions to the field of psychology and spirituality. Born in Melbourne and raised in Alice Springs, central Australia, Dr. Tacey was deeply influenced by Aboriginal cultures, their religions, and cosmologies. This early exposure to indigenous wisdom and spirituality profoundly shaped his worldview. After completing his PhD at the University of Adelaide, he further honed his expertise as a Harkness Fellow in the United States under the guidance of James Hillman, a prominent figure in depth psychology. Dr. Tacey's scholarly pursuits also led him to lecture courses at the summer school of the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, further enriching his understanding of Jungian psychology and its applications. For those who have grown up reading David Tacey's works, it is an exciting opportunity to engage with his ideas through this interview. Dr. Tacey's generosity shines through as he offers listeners the chance to request essays from academic journals that may no longer be in print. Simply reach out to him via email, and he will gladly share the requested essays in PDF format. Such accessibility is a testament to his commitment to spreading knowledge and fostering intellectual curiosity.
