When Donald Trump spoke the phrases "Manifest Destiny" and "Golden Age" in his inauguration speech, he was invoking fantasies that are at the very core of the American psyche, going all the way back to Christopher Columbus who was convinced he was chosen by God to fulfill ancient prophecies and save Christianity before the Apocalypse.

In the conversation with Turkish-American cultural critic, author and depth psychologist Ipek Burnett, we delve into the myths and fantasies that have captured the American psyche since the beginning.

İpek S. Burnett, PhD, is a Turkish-American author who provides a depth psychological critique of social, cultural, and political issues. Based in San Francisco, she serves on the boards of nonprofit organizations and foundations that specialize in social justice, human rights, and democracy.

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 is the author of A Jungian Inquiry into the American Psyche: The Violence of Innocence and the editor of Re-Visioning the American Psyche: Jungian, Archetypal, and Mythological Reflections. She is a contributing writer at CounterPunch and a published novelist, essayist, and poet in Turkey.
