Iaap newsletter 28 - The new Israeli Jungian society

process as well – for example, we have monthly reading groups to bring joint efforts
to understand difficult material and to encourage personal analysis and make group
supervision available too. HKIAP is still a very simply structured group, with minimum
network circulations and clerical support. Yet we are flexible enough to be a bunch of
volunteers with lots of passion and commitment. In the future, I would hope more
people will be encouraged to join with us and make a very constructive team with a
mix of mature professionals as well as young professional groups. They will
respectively bring in a solid foundation and working energy - which will help to
further explore Jungian practice in the Chinese Cultures.
How to serve IAAP? – Asians are similar in appearance but there are so many
differences amongst people from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Hong Kong was
colonized by Britain and has been influenced by a western mentality for a long period
of time. The mastering of English and Putonghua enable us to be a mediator of
different regional groups. Although we are not as wealthy as Taiwan to invite
speakers, nor are we as big as the China market, I believe in some way the Hong Kong
group can share our integrative learning experience and work together with other
newly formed groups.

At the IAAP website you will find letters from Hester Solomon, IAAP President, from
Tom Kelly and Joe Cambray as chairs of the Individual Member and Developing Group
subcommittees, and from Luigi Zoja and Eva Pattis as direct participants in the
Sichuan relief efforts of the Chinese Association of Analytical Psychology. Their letters
describe and respond to the Sichuan earthquake of May 12, 2008, that killed tens of
thousands of people and left approximately 5 million people homeless and they
address the needs of the CAAP/IAAP in their ongoing relief efforts in Sichuan.
