<strong>An</strong> <strong>Event</strong> <strong>Honoring</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Four</strong> <strong>Women</strong> Doctors<br />
Who Introduced Jung’s <strong>An</strong>alytical Psychology to <strong>the</strong> United States<br />
Saturday, March 31, 2012<br />
9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.<br />
This day-long conference will present <strong>the</strong> lives and work of Doctors<br />
Beatrice Hinkle (1870-1953), Kristine Mann (1873-1945), Eleanor Bertine<br />
(1887-1967), and Es<strong>the</strong>r Harding (1888-1971), <strong>the</strong> pioneer analysts who<br />
brought Jung’s new <strong>the</strong>ories and methods of clinical practice to New York in<br />
<strong>the</strong> early 20 th century. Lectures by Jay Sherry, Beth Darlington, Christopher<br />
Beach, and Polly Armstrong will describe <strong>the</strong> history of <strong>the</strong> vibrant founding<br />
mo<strong>the</strong>rs who established <strong>the</strong> traditions that shape <strong>the</strong> programs sponsored<br />
today at New York’s Jung Center.<br />
Writing in 1915 to explain her reasons for translating Jung’s first<br />
major work into English, Beatrice Hinkle affirmed her belief that “humanity<br />
is seeking a new message, a new light upon <strong>the</strong> meaning of life” and<br />
“something tangible . . . with which it can work towards a larger<br />
understanding of itself and its relation to <strong>the</strong> universe.” For her, Jung’s work<br />
demonstrated that “every individual is to a large extent <strong>the</strong> determiner of his<br />
own destiny,” and holding that conviction and following his guidelines, she<br />
and her early colleagues set out to claim <strong>the</strong>ir destinies with courage and<br />
imagination. Today we follow in <strong>the</strong>ir footsteps.<br />
