We all have an indigenous soul that longs for reconnection with a universe that is harmonious and balanced. Unfortunately, as Fred Gustafson points out in "Dancing Between Two Worlds: Jung and the Native American Soul," because many of us in contempo
I am looking two years down the road (and at my student loan paperwork). For those of you who have attained a PhD in Depth Psychology, or anything close, what are you doing with it that actually pays money?
I am currently working on my associates degree. I want to major in Depth Psychology but many of the universities I have come across are all graduate schools. Does anyone have any advice on where to go for undergraduate school? I don't think there are
A friend in class stated that his child had been watching the news about the Gulf and asked, "Why do they call it a spill?" Great question. A spill is what happens out of a coffee cup that you wipe up.

For centuries, but particularly in the last few decades, Crop Circles have been a mysterious visitor arriving at our door. Recently we have been able to identify scientifically that this phenomenon is no hoax, but something that is authentically unk

Here we are to share, discuss, and engage with Haiti, earthquake and other such nature occurrences, and Building Global Community. The first post is a paper I wrote Seeing Through Hillman's Archetypal Psychological lens of my first experience in Hait
I hear that the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is being compared to the sinking of the Titanic. Just before the explosion, executives of BP were aboard the rig toasting its safety record....
Many of us who consider ourselves "depth psychologists" still debate what is the best way to explain exactly what depth psychology is. I'm wondering if we can compile a list of the ways people describe it to see if something works well for others.
The following is an excerpt from an email from Juliet Bruce, PhD, a author and member of our community. She has graciously agreed, at my request, to allow it to be re-posted here to that everyone can access it. I think the topic is powerful and would
This paper argues that Stanislav Grof’s perinatal theory, in resolving the ambiguous ontological status of the shadow, even more importantly explains the shadow’s force in the world.
Jung’s archetypes reflect Plato’s universals through the mir
He has a great site, with a blog and articles and so on, and this is what I'm reading, in the hopes that I can somehow incorporate it into my currently due paper.
The sayings and reflections of Buddhism supplement and inspire the reflections of Depth Psychology. From a book of such reflections, Buddha's Little Instruction Book by Jack Kornfield I find such deep reflections: Victory creates hatred, defeat cre
