Shamanism lecture Wednesday at W. Georgia
A lecture on the connection between shamans -- religious healers in certain religions -- and modern psychology will be held at the University of West Georgia on Wednesday.
The psychology and anthropology departments of the university are sponsoring the lecture by Dr. Stanley Krippner on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Technology-enhanced Learning Center (TLC), room 1200. The event is free, and the community is invited.
Krippner's talk, "Shamans: The First Psychologists," will explore the various ways in which shamans receive their "call" and some of the elements of Shamanistic practice that are therapeutic in nature. Krippner, an internationally-known humanistic psychologist, has spent much of his career studying and writing extensively on dreams, altered states of consciousness, hypnosis, shamanism, healing, dissociation and parapsychological subjects.
He is currently a professor of psychology at Saybrook Graduate School in San Francisco and has authored and co-authored more than 500 books and articles.
