The discussion begins with a review of a recent production of “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf” by a Modern Orthodox Jewish cast and crew at the Jerusalem Theater. Prof. Juni had organized a sizable group of friends and colleagues who attended the play and then participated in a focus group with the producer, crew, and key actors. The discussion is enriched by R. Kivelevitz's encyclopedic mastery of the world of cinema and theater and its history. The discussants compare and contrast the dynamics of the intended message (if any) which is evident in Method Acting vs. those one observes in such popular critically acclaimed fare as The Marvelous Miss Maisel and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Juni argues that – in the latter – Larry David actually manages to bring Method Acting to a new high as he merely assigns specific roles and scenarios allowing each actor to improvise their lines while the camera rolls. R. Kivelevitz manages to maneuver Juni into sharingsome of his personal experiences as a “ham actor” in a number of performances –and to relate them to his current psychoanalytic perspective. The main focus of the discussion between Juni and Rabbi Kivelevitz was on the pros and cons of Method Acting, with particular attention to its potential as a means to insight and self-discovery. Whereas the Stanislavsky approach was designed with attention to the psyche of the actors, Juni is a proponent of using theater as a vicarious therapeutic emotional experience for the audience. Elaborating on his approach, Juni grounds hisposition on several postulates: A. Freud's idea of Polymorphous Perversitywhich asserts that we all have unresolved conflicts in every feasible conflictarea; B. Jacob Moreno's hypotheses that actionengenders latent underlying emotions; C. Cognitive Dissonance Theory which claimsthat feelings will be created artificially when one behaves in a dramatic manner. Juni combines these diverse ideas as he argues that theateraudience members will inevitably be “dawn into” identifying with the protagonists if they leave themselves open to the experience. R. Kivelevitz points out that classic authors of fiction capitalize on this very orientation as well asin the construction and wording of their narratives. Juni extolls the psychological virtues of Method Acting (in contrast to the Classical Shakespearean Style which stresses context and the Objective Approach). R. Kivelevitz introduces the “Jewish connection”into the discussion by pointing to Stella Adler's adaptation of Method Actingand its pivotal role in shaping Yiddish American Theater. He also engages Juni as they critique the confabulation of modern theater and the worldview of Orthodox Judaism – as the pair explore the dissonance that may be experienced by Modern Orthodox directors, actors, and audiences which elicits visceral responses to their presentations. R.Kivelevitz concludes by lauding a novel contemporary approach in self-discovery known as Improv Therapy, relating its rationale to a number of the points and dynamics raised in the discussion. Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchak Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchik. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the professional journals where Professor Juni has published 120 theoretical articles and his research findings (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.

The Memorial as a False Idol The institution of naming streets and erecting buildings to honor heroes and others is scrutinized from sociological, psychological, and existential perspectives. As a parallel motif,the recent woke-grounded phenomenon of tearing down monuments and un-naming streets and endeavors is similarly analyzed. With some debate and qualifications,both discussants agree the intent in these namings is to keep the hero's ideals alive for a long time, allowing him/her to exist even after death. Prof. Juni argues that the extant dynamic here is anxiety about death and the dread of mortality. Psychiatrically,this effort would definitely be classified as delusional, but its pathology ismitigated by the fact that the tendency is so widespread across cultures. Annotating his rebuttal from highlights from famous films and literary work, R. Kivelevitz presents his position that the primary impetus for these memorial efforts is the striving offamily members to keep alive the memory of a loved one. Thus, it is the survivors' discomfort with the curtailed existence of their loved one which is central here rather than the yearnings of the deceased as such. Juni goes on to elaborate that any human activity is inherently insignificant unless it is anchored in a transcendent belief system that features more than the physical world. Heargues that the drive to produce or to achieve any laudable goals is merely a sublimated neurotic effort to deal with death anxiety while being anchored in the recognition of existential meaninglessness. Taking the political perspective of street naming -- particularly in Israel, Juni interprets the ubiquitous phenomenon as anaspect of colonization – i.e., affixing an indigenous Israeli stamp throughout the Jewish state. He sees this effort as a form of colonization via re-naming. R. Kivelevitz concludes by recounting some of his own transcendent experiences in connection with memorials to sages and his Rabbinic mentors long departed, whose significanceJuni politely follows with demurrals.

Remember the original Unsolved Mysteries from back in the day when Robert Stack was the host? How he always wrapped up the intro by saying, “Perhaps you may be able to solve a mystery.” Retired FBI Criminal Profiler John Douglas agrees. He says in our book today that “...there's almost always someone out there who has information needed to complete the puzzle.” Our book this week is The Anatomy of Motive by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker and our guest is a familiar one, private investigator Sheila Wysocki. She's going to help us understand what the term “victimology” means how you prepare one and why it's so important for investigations Sheila Wysocki became a household name in the private investigation world after she helped solve the cold-case murder of her college roommate, Angie Samota, more than 25 years later. Only wanting to figure out Angie's case, Wysocki was ready to close the case on her PI career. However, that's when letters from around the world came pouring into her inbox begging her to help their families who had mysteriously lost a loved one. “I just couldn't say no,” recalls Wysocki, “these families were in the same position I was after Angie's death, and I knew I had to at least try to help them.” Since then, Wysocki has worked on over 100 complicated cases, has been nominated as one of the Top 20 Best Nashville Private Investigators, and voted the number six most influential woman private investigator. She has been featured in The Washington Post and has appeared on Anderson Cooper, Dateline, Katie Couric, A&E Biography's “I Solved a Murder,” ABC's 20/20, Crime Watch Daily, Criminal, and numerous other podcasts. Persistence has always been how her colleagues characterize her and that persistence has paid off in the many cold cases she has worked.

In Jessica's own words: I recall having a strong interest and passion for the criminal justice system as early as middle school. While I was in high school, I decided that I wanted to pursue a career within the criminal justice system. Specifically, I wanted to specialize in victimology to eventually assist victims of crime and domestic violence. I graduated from Stockton University in 2020 with my Bachelors of Arts degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Victimology and Victim Services. During the height of the pandemic, I successfully landed my first post-graduate job as a Paralegal for the Law Offices of Melissa Rosenblum, LLC. Since then, I have broadened my knowledge on the criminal justice system, specifically the criminal defense side of the system. I have also had the opportunity to use my specialization in victimology and victim services to assist clients in temporary restraining order domestic violence matters, along with clients who are victims of crime. I grew up in Howell, Monmouth County New Jersey for the majority of my life. Upon my graduation from Stockton University in 2020, I moved to Atlantic County. I presently reside in Hamilton Township, New Jersey with my mom and two beloved cats, Mila and Josie.
