Iaap newsletter 28 - The new Israeli Jungian society

training program. We have found that the creation of a space to look at the training
program and see how it might be improved and expanded has had a healthy impact on
all aspects of our institutional life. We seem to be talking and listening to each other
better than ever, and we are looking harder than ever at how we treat each other,
taking the opportunity to learn and to grow. We have also been looking hard at what
our place is in relation to the wider collective of depth psychology, and to what we
owe the world. Our Board of Governors has found itself addressing, at its quarterly
meetings, two related themes: how we might broaden our mission to include a larger
awareness of the outer collective of depth psychology and its many areas of influence
and how to relate to the increasing diversity of analytic identities within our institute.
Among the recent highlights of our Extended Education program have been two well
attended conferences covering a very wide field indeed--the big Art and Psyche
Conference held in May, 2008 and the well attended day on Psyche, Politics, and
Transformation this October just before the Presidential election.
Our Institute’s publication, now titled Jung Journal: Culture and Psyche is in its first
year being published by the University of California Press. Its entire contents,
including its more than twenty-five years as The San Francisco Jung Institute Library
Journal, are now available online.
Our members continue to make important contributions to the field of analytical
psychology that are filled with vigor and variety. A number of our analysts and
candidates have participated in statewide, national and international meetings,
including the big Academic Conference sponsored by the International Association for
Jungian Studies together with the IAAP at the ETH-Zürich in Switzerland this past
July. Maria Ellen Chiaia contributed a chapter “The Field of Relationships in
Supervision” to the new book, Supervision of Sandplay Therapy. Joan Chodorow wrote
a chapter in Spanish, “Emociones Y Movemiento for the book, La Vida es Danza.”
Brian Feldman wrote two chapters for recently published books, “The Observed Infant
and the Analyst” and “Encountering Strangeness and Becoming Oneself: On the
Emergence of Sexual Identity in Adolescence.” As co-author with Virginia Apperson,
an Atlanta analyst, John Beebe published a volume that reflects his lifelong interest
in how psyche makes its appearance at the movies, The Presence of the Feminine in
Film.
