    Maureen Callahan's 2024 Book Ask Not, Robert Moore's Thought About Archetypes of Maturity, and Walter J. Ong's Thought About Secondary Orality
    (This version was not previously published., 2024) Farrell, Thomas
    In my 5,567-word review essay "Maureen Callahan's 2024 Book Ask Not, Robert Moore's Thought About Archetypes of Maturity, and Walter J. Ong's Thought About Secondary Orality," I first highlight in detail what Maureen Callahan says about John F. Kennedy's womanizing in her 2024 book Ask Not: The Kennedys and the [Thirteen] Women They Destroyed (Little, Brown and Company/ Hachette Book Group). Next, I highlight the thought of the late Jungian psychotherapist and psychological theorist Robert Moore (1942-2016; Ph.D. in religion and psychology, University of Chicago, 1975) of the Chicago Theological Seminary about the eight archetypes of maturity in the human psyche and their sixteen associated "shadow" forms. Then I construct a profile of the "shadow" forms that characterized John F. Kennedy. Finally, I turn to the thought of the American Jesuit scholar Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) of Saint Louis University to characterize our contemporary secondary oral culture -- and to make a final characterization of the consciousness of John F. Kennedy and his brothers and father.
