John Beebe, M.D., is author of the 2005 book, Integrity in Depth and co-author, along with Virginia Apperson of the 2009 book, The Presence of The Feminine in Film. You may recall that Dr. Beebe, was my guest on shows #166 on the feminine in film and #140 which dealt with Jungian Typology. Dr. Beebe is a Jungian analyst in practice in San Francisco. He received degrees from Harvard College and the University of Chicago medical school. He is a past President of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, where he is currently on the teaching faculty, as well as Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California Medical School, San Francisco. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association.
An avid film buff, Dr. Beebe frequently draws upon American movies to illustrate how the various types of consciousness and unconsciousness interact to produce images of Self and shadow in the stories of our lives that Jung called individuation. Dr. Beebe is particularly well known for his elaboration in C.G. Jung’s theory of psychological types.
In this interview, we discuss the historical accuracy of Cronenberg's film, among other things.
