In this two-DVD package, Pacifica Graduate Institute core faculty Aaron Kipnis takes on two challenging subjects: violence and money. In a workshop held Santa Barbara on May 6, 2006, Kipins examined the matrix out of which our own culture's violence emerges, distinguishing archetypal themes in the violence we perpetrate toward ourselves or others. The next day, Kipnis delved into a subject often more taboo than sex, religion or political affiliation: money. Kipnis explored the many parallels between money and psychology, focusing on metaphors such as inflation, depression, mania, investment, value, allure, obligation, worth, deficit, loss, gain, promise, transference, confidence, failure and trust. He further discussed the many ways money affects identity, self-regard, inter-personal relationship, and class.
