Iaap newsletter 28 - The new Israeli Jungian society

“Primitive” Revisited. We have multiple sponsors for this highly anticipated lecture
and workshop in May.
Other programs include: “The Archetype of Destruction, American Narcissism, and the
Paradoxical Images of Anselm Kiefer” by Jacqueline West, Ph.D., “A Thousand and
One Nights: the Role of the Feminine in the Transformation of Darkness” by Dariusch
Nouriani, Ph.D. and Ryan Bush, Ph.D., (San Francisco); “Complex, Affect, &
Attachment” by Julie Kilpatrick, M.D., Albuquerque; “Analysis in the Shadow of
Terror: Personal, Cultural, and Collective Trauma” by Henry Abramovitch, Ph.D.,
Israel; “Agelessness: The Very Soul of Beauty,” and workshop “The Tragedy of an
Unfulfilled Life” by Gilda Frantz, M.A. (Los Angeles).
The Advanced Studies program continues under the guidance of Pui Harvey, Ph.D. This
program involves licensed therapists who study once a month case colloquia, Jungian
theory, and group process. The theme this year is “Embodying Psyche: Contemporary
Jungian Perspective.” The program offers no certification and participants can and do
return year after year.
Our 23 Institute members are from Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Taos, and Phoenix. With
our Analyst Training Program continuing to be on hold, we are focusing on community
and our inner and outer identity. The monthly business meetings include time for
open discussion on these issues, which are ever present for us. We have retreats twice
a year for two days in which we live away from home and “chase the shadow.” Our
Vision Days, separate from our business meetings, allow us to wander and wonder
through thoughts, dreams and wishes for the Institute.
We have one new member, Elizabeth Retivov, MSW, from New York.
Several other analysts have moved to New Mexico from other states and other
Institutes and we continue to have twice a year brunches with these area analysts to
maintain close contact and dialogue.
2008-2009 looks to be a full and enriching year.
