2 PREFACE This study is intended to be a handbook in applied archetypal field theory for HUD and public housing personnel, social service staff professionals, seminary faculties and students, diocesan diaconate formation personnel and other educational and training organizations. I make use of it myself as a source text in a course on Religion and Psychology. The application of the concepts I describe is to a housing project, but it can be applied to any social group, organization or institution. It's like a "template," which one can use to analyze any particular group, especially from the perspective of archetypal field theory. This template is best symbolized and concretized in the pyramid first popularized by Morton Kelsey in his writings (a form of which is found on p. 118). My hope is that those who use this study will become accustomed to looking for and identifying archetypal patterns, fields and their derivatives (see chapter 14).

The concepts I describe can be applied to any person, social group, organization or institution. It's like a "template," which one can use to analyze any person or group, especially from the perspective of archetypal depth psychology. This template is best symbolized and concretized in the "pyramid" metaphor of the psyche. A Quantum Paradigm describes some theoretical notions out of the fields of symbolic interactionism, communication theory, psychology, quantum thought, education, religion and theology, and planning. The idea is to get to a holistic quantum way of personal and organizational development that gets all activities and plans surfaced and subject to critical reflection. Quantum thought is included because that branch of physics provides some helpful models that can be used metaphorically to help us understand the workings of the human person, human groups and institutions.
