Psychotherapy and spirituality to be explored in master's tea

Calhoun College will host a master's tea with clinical psychologist Jan Berlin on Friday, Oct. 14.

Berlin will speak at 4:30 p.m. in the Calhoun College master's house, 434 Park St. The talk is free and open to the public.

A licensed clinical psychologist, Berlin specializes in the use of imagery techniques, clinical hypnosis, therapeutic metaphor and psycho-spiritual integration to address a variety of clinical issues. His current work focuses on relational therapy for individuals and couples, the integration of psychotherapy and spirituality, and the creation of applied programs for imagery and healing.

Berlin founded Sacred Lens as a vehicle through which to make imagery journeys available to the public. He has taught programs for both professionals and the general public on imagery, dreams and symbols, gender sensitive models of communication and the metaphors of consciousness and their application to everyday life.

In addition, he has led men's groups that integrate western psychological traditions with Native American practice.

He served on the first San Diego Task Force on Therapist Sexual Misconduct and has supervised therapists at UCLA who led groups for victims of patient-therapist sexual abuse.


Head of Asia Society is next Gordon Grand Lecturer

The Gordon Grand Fellowship will host a visit by Vishakha N. Desai, president and chief executive officer of the Asia Society, on Thursday, Oct. 20.

Desai will discuss "Leadership and Creativity in the Globalizing World" at 4:30 p.m. in Branford College's common room, 74 High St. The talk is free and open to the public.

The Asia Society is an international educational organization dedicated to strengthening connections between Asia and the United States. Desai supervises the society's programs in the areas of policy, business, arts, culture and education throughout the network of its regional centers in the United States and in Asia. Desai was appointed president of the society in 2004.

A recipient of the National Institute of Social Sciences Gold Medal, Desai is recognized as a leader in the museum field for developing presentations of contemporary works by Asian and Asian-American artists and for conceiving innovative exhibitions of traditional Asian art.

A noted scholar, she has published extensively on traditional and contemporary arts and has served as an adviser and juror for major international projects and institutions in the United States, Europe and Asia. She has lectured widely to business and foreign policy audiences on topics ranging from the role of culture in changing Asian societies to perceptions of the United States in Asia.

The Gordon Grand Fellowship at Yale promotes dialogue and understanding between today's business leaders and students at Yale. The fellowship was established in 1973 to honor Gordon Grand, a graduate of the Yale College Class of 1938 and president and chief executive officer of the Olin Corporation. During his lifetime, Grand endeavored to bridge the gap between business and academia by actively promoting the exchange of ideas and viewpoints between these sectors. Today, the Gordon Grand Fellowship continues this tradition by inviting prominent business leaders to Yale for one- to three-day visits.

After spending six years in Dallas, where he became the team's first 1,000 yard rusher, Hill's athletic career continued with the Hawaiian Football Club of the World Football League, and the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns of the NFL. He was selected to participate in the NFL Pro Bowl in 1969, 1972, 1973 and 1974 and played in Superbowls V and VI.

Since 1997, Hill has been a consultant to Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys.

He was instrumental in the establishment of the Calvin Hill Day Care Center at the University and has worked with the National Association for Retarded Citizens as the organization's chair for national sports.

Hill's son, Grant, is also a noted scholar-athlete. He graduated from Duke University and was the number one pick by the Detroit Pistons in the 1994 NBA draft. The NBA Rookie of the Year, Grant was also a member of the gold-medal-winning Team USA at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. He currently plays for the Orlando Magic.


Celebrated author will discuss 'the heart of the university'

Renowned historian and author David McCullough will visit the campus on Friday, Oct. 21, as part of the Yale University Library's 75th anniversary celebration.

McCullough's address, titled "The Heart of the University," will take place at 4:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Law School, 127 Wall St.

Following McCullough's lecture, President Richard Levin will host a reception from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the nave of the Sterling Memorial Library, 120 High St., with the jazz group Swing '39. The lecture and the reception are free and open to the public. For more information, visit the website at www.library.yale.edu/75th or e-mail anniversary75th@yale.edu.

McCullough, a Yale College graduate and author of "1776," is a two-time winner of both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize.

McCullough's books have been praised for their narrative sweep, scholarship and insight into American life, and literary distinction. His book "John Adams" is one of the most acclaimed American biographies ever published. A New York Times bestseller, the book debuted at number one on the list and remained there for more than a year. To date, more than two million copies have been sold.

McCullough has lectured in the United States and abroad, including at the White House. He is also one of the few private citizens to speak before a joint session of Congress.

The first two volumes cover developments from antiquity to 1914, while a third volume in progress focuses on the current age of globalization.
