A book review and a dive into quantum mechanics, psychology and even parapsychology. Yes, we will talk about extrasensory perception and Carl Jung's ideas revolving how events that are unrelated seemingly are related. We touch upon physics and quantum mechanics in particular as part of his interaction with Wolfgang Pauli. Explore this exciting topic with Leonard Kramer and Shen Ge. Comments are welcome during and after the show as always!

I don't agree that Freud's work was "discredited". Obviously, some of his theories have not withstood the test of time- particularly with the psychology of women. However, when it comes to defense mechanisms, and the instinctual aspects of the unconscious, represents key findings that continue ot serve the field well. Obviously, our understanding and knowledge base has expanded dramatically since the time Freud was practicing- but it represents an important foundation for depth psychology. Jung was more interested in mysticism and the collective unconscious- but both theories have important aspects of the complexities of the human experience to add to our knowledge base.
