Iaap newsletter 28 - The new Israeli Jungian society

hopes to go four times in 2008. Eventually Router candidates need to experience a
regular, intensive analysis, over a period of several years. This would involve some
kind of shuttle analysis and would require a considerable amount of funding. All
concerned would need to evaluate its risks and opportunities before it being
operative. I would gather around CHF 15’000 per year is necessary for one analyst to
make ten visits a year to Tbilisi. Private funding has got off to a good start. It is
crucial that this money be saved in order to finance a regular intensive training
analysis.
Library Facilities and Translations: John Hill hopes to bring books of Jungian interest
on each visit. One member of the group, Nino Siradze, has translated into Georgian
Helen Hörni-Jung’s book on Icons, which is now in the process of editing. Next the
group hope to translate Jung’s MDR and Edinger’s Ego and Archetype. These are
important projects in order to make Jung known in this part of the world.
Conclusion: Considering there is no resident analyst in Georgia, no connection with
Moscow, made worse due to the unfortunate war in August, travel to Tbilisi is
expensive and the DG members have very little private means, the Georgian IAAP
training project will continue to be a difficult undertaking. The motivation and
professional standards of the DG are of course varied but in general of excellent
quality. A great effort on behalf of all concerned is needed in order that the project
succeeds.
Words of thanks from the DG Georgia: “All members of our association want to
express endless gratitude and deep appreciation to the IAAP, its sub-committee for
developing groups and everyone who took part in giving support and donations. We
are very happy that our training became an experience of the deeper levels in Jungian
psychology.”
