The book club advertised - reading relevant books, hearing the authors and then discussing our ideas seems potentially fruitful. I have had a long Jungian analysis, was a member of a weekly Jungian dream group for 2 years and have done some short courses in Jungian Psychology. My therapeutic approach includes Jungian thinking, myth, dreams, etc.
Do you belong to any other online Psychology-related communities or orgs? If so, which?
Linked In - mindfulness, Jungian, general counselling and psychotherapy.
International Association of Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy

Looks like you're navigating just fine. I just saw your post in the Published Authors gropu--but feel free to reach out with questions. Hope you're enjoying the site.
Hi Els. Happy new year, and welcome to the Alliance. So glad you're interested in the Book Club. Sandy is doing an amazing job--and of course, the February selection from Erel Shalit is an entirely different style of book but should also be interesting.
Meanwhile, I hope you've had a chance to explore the site a bit--likely you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all fascinated by the field of depth psychology. While there are quite a number of certified psychologists and analysts here, it's actually a very interdisicplinary community. Many of our members come from many walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much knowledge and experience here to be shared.
Finally, in case you need detailed help personalizing your profile photo or navigating the site, please use the following link-- http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/page/navigating-the-site --and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all! I look forward to seeing you around the community~Bonnie Bright, Founder
