Iaap newsletter 28 - The new Israeli Jungian society

Furthermore, we have profited from visits by Jungian analysts:
Dr. Andreas von Heydwolff has visited three times, providing individual and
group supervisions, and lectured on „Analytical Psychology and religion”.
Dr. Helga Thomas has likewise visited three times, for extended periods, giving
personal analysis and individual supervision, as well as a seminar: “Arthemida
and the other goddesses within: the structure of feminine development” and
another seminar on: "Analytical work with fairytales." She also gave a workshop
on this at the V National Congress of Psychology, Sofia.
Helga also delivered a public lecture on "Archaic forms and movements in art,
nature and humans," and gave a workshop on this subject, as well as a
workshop on "Eros & Psyche."
Christian Vojtschizki from Berlin has visited us during extensive periods, giving
both personal analyses and individual supervisions.
Dr. Waltraut Korner has visited twice during 2008, providing group supervision,
and giving two workshops on "Introduction to Dream work.”
During two visits in 2008, Dr. Erel Shalit, liaison person of IAAP, gave two
clinically oriented workshops, one on "Concepts in praxis" and one on
“Complexes: The path of transformation.” The latter workshop is based on his
book on the subject, which during the year was translated and published in
Bulgarian. His recent book "Enemy, Cripple and Beggar" is also expected to be
translated during this coming year.
We have also planned the study program for 2009, relying both on our guest lecturers
from abroad as well as our local resources.
A tremendously important result of the study program in Jungian Oriented
Psychotherapy was that as of June 2008, BSAP became a member of the Bulgarian
Association of Psychotherapy, under the umbrella of the European Association of
Psychotherapy. This is a profound acknowledgment of our program, since it reaffirms
that we meet the criteria for psychotherapy programs, as recognized by the European
Association of Psychotherapy.
The popularization of ideas of Analytical Psychology is one of the main goals of the
Bulgarian Jung Society. The members of our developing group participated in national
congresses and conferences, such as the National Conference of Psychotherapy and
the National Congress of Psychology, where BSAP was one of the sponsors.
The internet site of our society (www.Jungbg.com), which was set up in 2007, has
also proven valuable to spread information about Analytical Psychology and the Jung
society.
