An interview with Dr. Michael Conforti by Bonnie Bright, Ph.D.

An exploratory conversation using a depth psychological perspective in response to the Sandy Hook Connecticut school shooting by Jungian Analyst Michael Conforti, Ph.D., moderated by Bonnie Bright.

The horrific tragedy in Newtown, CT has left us all grappling with the trauma of senseless acts of violence, in this case, violence perpetrated on the most helpless and innocent among us, our children. While we may never understand what it is that allows for such atrocities, we have to continue to search for meaning, a way to understand and perhaps, to stem the tide of this force.

What are the archetypal influences underpinning the horror of the Newtown, CT school shooting---and those of so many recent violent events perpetrated on innocents with legal firearms. Is evil a reality? Is it an age-old pattern that becomes constellated under certain conditions? How do we find hope in the horror when tragedy strikes?

Join us, as together we bear witness to this tragedy and search for a way through the darkness to a place of understanding.
