Iaap newsletter 28 - The new Israeli Jungian society

Premises have been kindly made available for these seminars by the Psychiatric Clinic of the
University of Ljubljana.
In May, Angela Connolly and Catherine Crowther visited Slovenia and interviewed five
candidates on behalf of the IAAP for admission to the Individual Router Programme. A sixth
member hopes to put in an application by the end of the year. A further programme of group
supervision and also a reading discussion group for this group was begun in September of this
year, conducted by the liaison person at the invitation of Tom Kelly. Meetings for this group
will be held bi-monthly and the group will meet in between to plan and discuss their reading.
Premises for these meetings have been generously lent by the Centre for Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry. Some members are also in individual Jungian supervision with Dr Magdič, a
Slovenian member of the IAAP.
As much as possible, the material from Jung himself has been drawn from texts available in
Slovene. This year the Association has discussed “Memories, dreams and reflections”. This
text was available in Slovene. The seminars have explored the reframing of certain key
Jungian concepts, using the helpful chapter ‘Analytic methods revisited’ in “Analytical
Psychology. Contemporary perspectives in Jungian Analysis” by Joe Cambray and Linda Carter
in order to do this. In June, Dr Caterina Vezzoli gave the first seminar in the series to be given
by visiting analysts and will return to speak again in March 2009. Through her the Association
has received a warm invitation from the President of CIPA in Milan for Individual Routers to
attend their programme of events. We are very grateful to CIPA and to Dr Vezzoli for
welcoming our trainees in this way and we look forward to developing this link in 2009.
The group would like to thank the IAAP for the financial help that has been given towards the
costs of developing the Association, Jan Wiener and Tom Kelly for generous support and
advice, and Angela Connolly and Catherine Crowther for time generously given in order to
conduct interviews as part of the Individual Routers programme. We look forward to
developing our understanding of Jungian thought in the coming year.
