Friday Evening Lecture
The Psychology of Love

Date:	May 8, 2009 7:30 – 9:30 p.m.
Presenter:	J. Pittman McGehee, M.Div., Ph.D.
Location:	St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Inwood at Mockingbird
$15.00 non-members (wine and cheese reception)

In this lecture, we will encounter what Jung called, in his later years, "the incalculable paradoxes of love." Our single word "love" fails to adequately capture and express the powerful, often contradictory feelings that drive behavior and animate one's soul. We will turn to the three Greek words for love (eros, philia, and agape) and explore the psychological distinctions they express. We will look at both the interpersonal and intra-psychic dynamics of love, as well as its light and dark sides. Finally, we will address the healing and wounding nature of this greatest of paradoxes.
