BIO

Jay Sherry grew up in Ohio where his sense of the Native American presence in the landscape led to an interest in history. He graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in Foreign Service; while there he discovered the work of Carl Jung and decided to study psychology. After receiving his M.A. from the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research (New York) he went to Switzerland where he taught history and attended classes at the Jung Institute in Zurich. He is an educator and an independent historian of psychoanalysis who has lectured widely and written for a variety of psychoanalytic publications. He holds a Ph.D. from the Freie Universität Berlin and his book Carl Gustav Jung, Avant-Garde Conservative was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2010. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and daughter.
NYC WALKING TOUR WITH JAY SHERRY
"Faint voices from Greenwich Village: Jung's impact on the first American avant-garde"
This walking tour will highlight Jung's 1913 trip to New York City and the role that Beatrice Hinkle, America's first Jungian psychoanalyst, had in promoting his work then and in the years that followed. Blackballed by New York Psychoanalytic Society for aligning herself with Jung, she was a member of the feminist Heterodoxy Club and analyzed many of the creative young people gravitating to Greenwich Village. Jung's contact with Kahlil Gibran and other bohemians there would play a role in the active imaginations that he began after returning home and that would eventually become the Red Book. Those participating will come away from it with a deepened appreciation for this creative moment in Jung's career and it's impact via Beatrice Hinkle on modern American culture.
