John Beebe @ Winston School on January 25, 2019
Friday night I had the amazing opportunity to be part of John Beebe’s lecture on Constructing Cultural Attitudes Through Psychological Types. He spoke about a number of interesting topics, but the one I enjoyed most is his discussion of the Wizard of Oz and how each of the characters represent an aspect of psychological types. As a long time analyst of the Wizard of Oz in its myriad expressions, I feel this story is reaching mythic proportions in our culture, but that is a write up for another day. If you are interested in his perspective, there is a great interview with him from 2011 where he discusses the Wizards of Oz as well as The King’s Speech with the Huffington Post.
