They truly care and they are really interested. It created this reciprocal loop of learning that’s not passive. So I enjoy the level of depth that people come in with already, so we’re jumping off from a different point than you might find at other places where people just want a surface experience that will get them a job. We have people who are clinical supervisors, people who are very experience in clinical settings but they come to broaden their capacity to articulate what they already have a sense of knowing. It’s not exclusive to Pacifica, but we have people here who are making quite a difference in the world.   [Read More](https://info.pacifica.edu/faculty-spotlight-juliet-rohde-brown-ph.d.-chair-of-the-ph.d.-in-depth-psychology-integrative-therapy-and-healing-practicespublishedpublicmoreshareedit) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.pacifica.edu/faculty-spotlight-juliet-rohde-brown-ph.d.-chair-of-the-ph.d.-in-depth-psychology-integrative-therapy-and-healing-practicespublishedpublicmoreshareedit#comments-listing) Posted in: [Integrative Therapy & Healing Practices](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/integrative-therapy-healing-practices) ## [Pacifica’s Integrative Therapies and Healing Practices Specialization](https://info.pacifica.edu/pacificas-integrative-therapies-and-healing-practices-specialization) Posted by [Angela Borda](https://info.pacifica.edu/author/angela-borda) on Oct 7, 2019 2:31:00 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.pacifica.edu/hubfs/Juliet_likes_this_one.jpg)](https://info.pacifica.edu/pacificas-integrative-therapies-and-healing-practices-specialization) **An Interview of Juliet Rohde-Brown, Ph.D., by Angela Borda: Part II of III** [Read More](https://info.pacifica.edu/pacificas-integrative-therapies-and-healing-practices-specialization) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.pacifica.edu/pacificas-integrative-therapies-and-healing-practices-specialization#comments-listing) Posted in: [Integrative Therapy & Healing Practices](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/integrative-therapy-healing-practices) ## [Faculty Spotlight: Juliet Rohde-Brown, Ph.D., Chair of the Ph.D. in Depth Psychology, Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices](https://info.pacifica.edu/faculty-spotlight-juliet-rohde-brown-ph.d.-chair-of-the-ph.d.-in-depth-psychology) Posted by [Angela Borda](https://info.pacifica.edu/author/angela-borda) on Sep 30, 2019 11:05:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.pacifica.edu/hubfs/j4.jpg)](https://info.pacifica.edu/faculty-spotlight-juliet-rohde-brown-ph.d.-chair-of-the-ph.d.-in-depth-psychology) **An Interview of Juliet Rohde-Brown, Ph.D., by Angela Borda: Part I of III** ***What attracted you to the field of psychology? Please tell me a little about the journey to being a teacher at Pacifica.*** Juliet: I grew up with a brother with a brain injury and he opened me to consider that there’s much more to this human condition than meets the eye. I became fascinated with why people think and act the way they do. My temperament was inclined to be that way anyway. I was very shy and also drawn to the arts, so I originally thought that the arts would be my path. I did some acting and singing in the 80s. As I was coming into the 90s I was transitioning and asking questions of my life that led me to I want to do more purposeful work in the world, something that would be helpful to people. That can be done through the arts, but in terms of making a living, in my early 30s, I got involved in hypnotherapy and did a yearlong training and supervision in that area. So in the first part of the 90s, I was a hypnotherapist and I worked with people with medical issues like AIDS as well as with others.

How do the two things relate and how did this develop as a focus of your research?** The initial work I did in this area came out of my experience as a clinician. Often with clients who had significant trauma histories, when we entered deeply into their backgrounds and the unconscious was activated, we would see synchronistic phenomena, meaningful coincidences. As I explored the phenomena, I realized that as Jung indicated, these types of events were occurring in various settings.  At that time, the study of complex adaptive systems had become a hot field, and I saw the way that approach could be directly applied to the phenomena I was investigating.   [Read More](https://info.pacifica.edu/the-lived-reality-of-synchronicity) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.pacifica.edu/the-lived-reality-of-synchronicity#comments-listing) ## [Pacifica’s Visionary Future: Forging into the Future of Depth Psychology](https://info.pacifica.edu/pacificas-visionary-future-forging-into-the-future-of-depth-psychology) Posted by [Angela Borda](https://info.pacifica.edu/author/angela-borda) on Aug 29, 2019 3:54:56 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.pacifica.edu/hubfs/Joe1.jpg)](https://info.pacifica.edu/pacificas-visionary-future-forging-into-the-future-of-depth-psychology) *by Joseph Cambray, CEO-President & Provost of Pacifica* ***"I think we’re moving toward a deeper understanding of the natural world*** ***and understanding our relationships to these intelligences that do not function in a cognitive way as humans do."*** ***-Joseph Cambray, Ph.D.*** If you look around the world, there are not many academic institutions that focus on depth psychology. There are places in Europe and South America where it is included as a part of coursework, but Pacifica is the premier academic institution devoted to depth psychology. I also feel we need to go through a revision; the ideas inherent in depth psychology have become more integrated in the mainstream of culture, and the radical nature of the project needs to be revitalized. If depth psychology is about meeting the psyche at the margins, then where are those margins today and what do they look like? Certainly they are not static, there’s a revision that needs to occur.
