Summary

EPISODE #804 MEANINGFUL COINCIDENCES Richard welcomes a psychiatrist to discuss his work in the systematized study of coincidence, which has entailed surveying and categorizing a significant number of events, large and small. He draws distinctions between mere "coinciding instances" and meaningful or useful coincidences, and further defined synchronicity and serendipity as varieties of meaningful coincidence Guest: Bernard Beitman, MD (https://www.coincider.com) is the first psychiatrist since Carl Jung to systematize the study of coincidences. He developed the first valid scale to measure coincidence sensitivity, and has written several coincidence articles for Psychiatric Annals. He is the Founder of the Coincidence Project. The author or editor of 16 professional books, he is a visiting professor at the University of Virginia, attended Yale Medical School and completed a psychiatric residency at Stanford.
