Episode 33: Pamela Power

Pamela J. Power, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and Jungian analyst in private practice in Santa Monica, California.

Trained as a classical musician, she studied music history and theory at the University of California, Los Angeles, and went on to become an accomplished cellist. After years of playing and teaching, she decided to study psychology and attended the California Graduate Institute where she earned her Ph.D.

After becoming licensed as a clinical psychologist, she entered the training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles where she received a Diploma in Analytical Psychology in 1987. She served as their clinic director, and later their training director, and currently teaches and supervises in their analyst training program.

A member of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, Dr. Power has articles published in the Journal of Jungian Theory & Practice, Psychological Perspectives, and Spring Journal, and contributed the chapter, “Negative Coniunctio: Envy & Sadomasochism in Analysis” for the book, Shared Realities: Participation Mystique & Beyond, edited by Episode 6 guest Dr. Mark Winborn. She lectures nationally and internationally on a variety of topics including the religious nature of the psyche, the archetype of sacrifice, contemporary issues, music, and film.

Earlier this month she presented a lecture, Distillation of Feeling in Traumatic Times, followed by a workshop on greed and stealing, at the C.G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and they are the subject of our talk today.
