Abstract

The article focuses on the Corps of Depth Healers, an organization founded in 2023 by Dr. Kirk Schneider and assisted by Tyler Gamlen, which applies existential-humanistic and depth psychological principles to address social, political, and environmental crises. The Corps emphasizes emotionally restorative relationships, depolarization, and awe-based experiences to foster empathy and bridge societal divides, notably through initiatives like Experiential Democracy Dialogues. Operating as a consortium, it collaborates with allied groups committed to social justice and depth psychology, extending its outreach via the Depth Dialogues podcast and developing training programs for professionals. The organization also envisions systemic mental health advocacy through the creation of a national Psychologist General and an Office of Psychological Advisors to integrate psychological insights into public policy.
