Structured around a series of lectures presented at the Jung Institute of Chicago in a program entitled "Jungian Psychology and Human Spirituality: Liberation from Tribalism in Religious Life," this book-length essay attacks the related problems of human evil, spiritual narcissism, secularism and ritual, and grandiosity. Robert Moore dares to insist that we stop ignoring these issues and provides clear-sighted guidance for where to start and what to expect. Along the way, he pulls together many important threads from recent findings in theology, spirituality, and psychology and brings us to a point where we can conceive of embarking on a corrective course. Traditional doctrinal and historical interpretation both rely heavily on rational analysis. But from the disciples at Emmaus to the beginnings of the present century, it has been the impact of scripture upon the human heart that has changed human lives. In recent decades, this impact has been strengthened by advances in linguistic and literary theory, by such disparate influences as feminism, structuralism, Jungianism, deconstructionism, the analysis of archaic imagery and myth, the recovery of Gnostic texts, and finally an openness to pluralism, whether ethnic, geographic, religious, or interpretive. All of these factors are treated here with a brevity and comprehensiveness which convincingly show that the reader of scripture has a creative and not merely passive role. "If you would understand the deepest roots of terrorism, greed, and religious fanaticism, read Facing the Dragon. But be forewarned: you may find some offshoots in your own garden."-June Singer, Jungian analyst, author of Boundaries of the Soul Robert Moore, Phd was an internationally recognized psychotherapist and consultant in private practice in Chicago.

PSYCHOLOGY/POP PSYCHOLOGY

This report determines how curve warning sign guidelines are being interpreted and implemented by districts in California. Generally, district traffic engineers consider the existing criteria for curve warning signs and advisory speed plates in Chapter 4 of the "Traffic Manual" (California Department of Transportation, 1982) to be adequate direction for their use. The policies provide enough general direction to allow engineers to design specific sign installations that will be uniformly understood by the public. The largest difference in sign application occurred with the W14 sign and its repetition within a winding highway section. This report suggests that this sign is not as effective as believed.

This report identifies factors which might be related to vehicles going over the roadway embankment, locations of over-embankment accidents, and roadway/roadside characteristics where these accidents occur. Recommendations which might reduce the potential for over-embankment accidents are provided. The scope of this research was limited to rural 2-lane conventional highways. Countermeasures that might reduce the potential for over-embankment accidents in general include installing new guardrail, lengthening existing guardrail, extending embankment guardrail near cut-slope areas and burying guardrail into the cut-slope, providing additional signing and striping, improving the shoulder, installing rumble strips, installing audible edge stripes, or cleaning up the roadside environment to provide a clear recovery area.
