A social impact project by Leading With Consciousness 

From the storming of Capitol Hill to the Declaration of Independence, the legacy of Christopher Columbus to the ghost of the American Dream and to social responsibility we covered a lot of ground in this conversation. This is an interview with Dr. Ipek Burnett. She is the author of  'A Jungian Inquiry Into the American Psyche: The Violence of Innocence'.  From an immigrant perspective we will be exploring the inequities and multiple humanitarian crises that plague everyday American life.  

Dr. Ipek Burnett: "Ipek S. Burnett, PhD, is a depth psychologist and Turkish novelist living in San Francisco.   Born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, Burnett came to the United States to get a bachelor’s degree from Brown University in Modern Culture & Media and International Relations. She received her master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies. She got a second masters and doctorate degree in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Though her academic work remains rooted in the field of psychology, Burnett’s writing has always had a cultural and critical edge, expanding on a range of topics—xenophobia to racism, militarism to materialism. Burnett’s novels, written in her native language, pay tribute to her first love—twentieth century Turkish literature and poetry."
