POLISH ASSOCIATION OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (PTPA)
Year 2008 has been significant for the development of analytical psychology in
Poland. Many people have taken up a training analysis; a group has strengthened its
position in the professional circles and the training activity has been continued and
extended.
In 2008 Mrs. Fiona Palmer Barnes has retired and stopped being a liaison person. She
had been performing this function for the past several years after Patricia de Hoogh
Rowntree. Nowadays, Mrs. Fiona Palmer Barnes has offered help in sharing her
experience and advising those routers who would apply for this kind of help. On
behalf of the group, we would like to thank Mrs. Fiona Palmer Barnes for her work as
a liaison person and we wholeheartedly wish her success and satisfaction in her new
role. The post of a liaison person has not yet been occupied, and so, for the time
being, it is performed by Mr. Joe Cambray and Mrs. Jan Wiener.
The main part of PDG in 2008 has constituted a training course in analytical
psychology. Six Jungian seminars were organised; at the same time, the first course in
the Sandplay Therapy was organized in Poland in strict cooperation with Dr Joerg
Rasche, and seven meetings of this course have already taken place. The following
were directing the seminars in 2008: Maggie Hammond, Tomasz Jasiński, Thomas
Mantel, Dale Mathers, Joerg Rasche, Krzysztof Rutkowski, Gert Sauer, Michael Whan,
and some of them came to Poland several times. We would like to thank all the
lecturers from the bottom of our hearts for their engagement and readiness to share
their experience with us. The meetings were greeted with great enthusiasm by the
participants and the lecturers’ work was highly appreciated. We hope that for the
lecturers, the participation in meeting with PDG members was valuable as well as
pleasant.
