From Discord to Insight: David Bohms Dialogue

The Jung Center presents From Discord to Insight: David Bohm’s Dialogue.

Learn to build group coherence in the face of discords that break down effective communication.

David Bohm (pictured), theoretical physicist and “spiritual son” of Albert Einstein, held an abiding desire to use his scientific discoveries in helping groups delve under the surface of discordances to find their root source.

Bohm’s process of “dialogue,” different than the common meaning given that word, uncovers hidden patterns driving group problems. Rather than breaking things down by analysis and discussion, dialogue rebuilds the underlying wholeness through participation and “thinking together,” unleashing the unsuspected potential for creative solutions.

Beth Macy, PhD, is an organizational consultant who has worked extensively in public and mental health as well as in large corporations. A student of Jung’s work for many years, she focuses on the application of archetypal patterns in coaching leaders and in resolving workplace problems.
