Iaap newsletter 28 - The new Israeli Jungian society

address we have a new clinic functioning independently with two consulting rooms in
which, after a socio-economic analysis, patients are seen who could not otherwise
benefit from such services.
Giving continuity to the 30-year commemorations of SBrPA, the event “Dialogues in
Contemporary Times” was held on September 27. The round-table discussions took
place at PUC University, with a high number of participants: 250 analysts and
scholars. In this meeting researchers of distinct fields of knowledge and SBPA analysts
presented interesting contributions on human development in the present day and on
the ideas of C.G. Jung.
Following the opening speech by the President of SBrPA, Liliana Liviano Wahba, under
the title “Analysis, Synthesis, Integrity”, there began the round-table session. The
psychiatrist Marcelo Feijó, gave a presentation on the psychiatric and
neurophysiological aspects of "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" and had a dialogue with
Iraci Galiás, who presented an analytic approach to the disorder. At the second round
table discussion, "Couples and Families", we had the pleasure of listening to Maria
Teresa Raduan, who presented a work with Ceres Araujo relating their experience
within the very current issue, "The Children of Reconstituted Families", and to Nairo
de Souza Vargas who shared his observations on aging entitled "Senescence and
Conjugality". In the afternoon table session "Quantum Physics and Analytical
Psychology," Ana Lia Aufranc spoke on the relation between the ideas of Jung and
quantum physics, while the physicist João Bernardes da Rocha Filho demonstrated the
archetypal intertwining of the Sciences. At the following discussion, "Archetypes of
the Metropolis," Augusto Capelo invited us to ride around São Paulo on the wings of
motoboys (delivery boys on motorcycles), bringing an analogy with the god Mercury.
The anthropologist José Guilherme Magnani spoke about a group of young Paulistanos
(born in the city of São Paulo) and their organization in social dynamics. During the
final round-table of the day, "Analytic Psychology and Spirituality", we were given the
gift of a poetic praise of the shadow, rendered by the Uruguayan psychiatrist, Mario
Saiz. Carlos Amadeu Botelho Byington ended the activities of the day with a moving
talk on evil and the importance of the Jungian analyst today.
On September 29 we counted on the presence, along with AJB, of Dr. Robert Bosnak
at an event that had for its theme, "The Intelligent Body: Creative Imagination in
Medicine, Psychotherapy and Theater."
We are also, as members of CLAPA (Latin American Committee of Analytical
Psychology), collaborating in the organization of the V Latin American Analytical
Psychology Congress on “Eros and Power- in Clinic, Education and Culture.” It will
take place from the 4 th to the 8 th of September, 2009 in Santiago, Chile, at the
Sheraton Convention Center. The deadline for sending in papers is November 30,
2008. We invite the entire Jungian community to join us at this event, working as a
place of exchange among analysts and students of all of Latin America, counting
always on the caring participation of analysts from various parts of the world.
