Please share a little about yourself by way of introduction. What draws you to Depth Psychology and what are you looking for from this community?
To be blunt the mer fact that so many are walking around in delusions,using defense mechanisms to base their reality.The more information we can gather and spread around the sooner we can break some of the cycles and the dysfunctional patterns.It's a vicious cycle indeed. Although there may not be just one answer, working together should bring our thoughts closer to reality ?I expect to be able to speak openly with others and come to a point of moral understanding ?
Do you belong to any other online Psychology-related communities or orgs? If so, which?

Hi Ed. I'd like to add my welcome to the online depth community. I also wanted to comment to appreciate your allusion to the problems of polarity that often arise in language and share that, for me, I love the word "alliance" simply because it start with the word "all"--and that has been one of the driving goals in creating this space online where we can ALL come together--from all corners of the globe-- to connect, discuss, and learn from each others' experience.
By the way, in case you need detailed help on personalizing your profile picture or getting started and navigating the site, please use the following link-- http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/page/navigating-the-site --and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all! I look forward to seeing you around the community~Bonnie Bright, Founder
Welcome Ed,
Glad you found and decided tom join the Alliance. I want to speak to your concern about the term "Alliance" as a potential narrowing or a drawing a line in the sand. As I relate to the word, it is expressing a supportive and welcoming state of being. Kinda like "Everybody in the pool!!!" attitude. It is in the dialogue we come closer to our lived truths. Again, glad you are with us and I look forward to your posts.
Ed
