Rakesh grew up in a small town in Northwest India where modern day comforts were few, but joy was plentiful. He lived in a joint family with his brother, three sisters, parents, uncles, and grandparents. The family emphasized education and sharing. There was a room in the house that served as a temple and was home to the goddess Durga. Religion was part of daily life, but was not overemphasized. All of the children in the neighborhood played together – favorite sports were kite flying and cricket in fields shared with wandering goats and cows.

James C. Coyne, Ph.D is Director of the Behavioral Oncology Program, Abramson Cancer Center and Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
Here is a link to a CBS news television story in which he appears along with Barbara Erenreich and Lance Armstrong.
Dr. Coyne and his behavioral science research team work on understanding the coping process in cancer patients and testing the effectiveness of interventions in enhancing the patient’s well being. Major depression and anxiety disorders tend to be overlooked and inadequately treated in cancer patients, and their risk can extend into survivorship. The team has been documenting the extent of the problem of untreated and inadequately treated depression and anxiety and developing ways of ensuring better treatment and follow up. The team is working to redesign methods of psychosocial intervention in order to better accommodate the needs, abilities, and desires specific to cancer patients and survivors out in the community. more recently, the group has begun examining ways of addressing the disadvantage of men without partners in the adherence to and outcome of treatment of cancer, a disadvantage apparently not shared by women without partners.

Richard Naegle PhD describes himself in the following terms: “I have always been interested in the unfolding of soul—as found in culture, art, ecology, and individuals. Having studied international relations at Occidental College and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, I returned from Europe in 1968 to a United States torn by the escalation of the Vietnam War and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy. Working as a social worker in Watts and then South San Francisco, California, I eventually returned to graduate school for an MSW (U.C. Berkeley) and PhD in Psychology (Columbia Pacific). For a brief time I lived at Esalen and rubbed elbows with the likes of Joseph Campbell and Fritz Perls. When I decided to follow a calling as a psychotherapist, I turned to the only organization I had found where the leaders truly seemed to practice what they preached—the Guild for Psychological Studies in San Francisco. Founded by two analysts in the Jungian tradition (who were at the founding of the Jung Institute in Zurich, who were Mrs. Jung’s last patients, but who were not invited to join the S.F. Jung Institute for a variety of historical reasons), the Guild focused on the interface of psychology and religion, especially the Judeo-Christian tradition. It offered exploration in a rich mix of depth psychology, mythology, spirituality, somatic experience, art, music, poetry, and world awareness. Through the Guild, I’ve led scores of workshops on the interface of psychology, mythology, and spirituality in the Western U.S., England, and Australia—with study trips to Greece, Italy, Switzerland, and England. In addition, for many years I taught courses in depth psychology for John F. Kennedy University and the Meridien University.”

It was only after his psychiatric residency that Dr. Jon Jackson discovered Carl Jung. More specifically, he first discovered Marie-Louise von Franz, who remains one of his major influences to this day. He sees himself as an intuitive introvert who has somehow learned to be extroverted in the “real” world. He worked for 15 years as a psychotherapist, seeing particularly difficult patients, and gaining extensive experience in dissociative and personality disorders. When he returned to California, he worked for several years for Sonoma County Mental Health, working with the indigent and chronically mentally ill. He was then Chief of Psychiatry at St. Helena Hospital for just over two years.
Following no major tradition, Dr. Jackson believes in the necessity of developing “spiritual depth” in oneself. He is a great lover of literature, film, radio dramas, comic books, and a very broad range of music. He currently is the Chair of the Numina Center for Spirituality & the Arts – a Santa Rosa group that promotes a broad-based spirituality as experienced through the Arts. He continues to work in radio on KOWS FM in Occidental, CA, producing a show titled “Sound Mind”, which often features interviews with musicians and other performers.
