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?
I am hopefully expecting to meet some other like-minded people, particularly within academics, to discuss with. I am currently in the process of completing my phd and would like to draw on the knowledge and resources of others to add to my own!

Welcome Katie,
I have a sister in Somerset so every new member from England warms my heart! I hope you have had a chance to browse through the many blogs, forums, and groups to see what catches your interests. I like Bonnie's idea of starting a local chapter of DPA in England. Gives me another reason to return there. Again, welcome and I look forward to your posts.

Hi Katie. We have a growing number of members from England, so perhaps one day there will be a 'local" chapter of the Alliance there!
Meanwhile, I hope once you have a chance to explore the online community a bit, you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all fascinated by the field of depth psychology. While there are many Jungian analysts and clinical psychologists here, our members come from many walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
On that note, I hope you'll find opportunities to engage as you browse the vast content and interact with others. You may want to consider joining the online book club if you haven’t already—There's a new author each month, and you can jump in at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish.
Even if you don't have the book for this month, it's all done via writing in an open forum, so you can read all the comments that have gone on so far and get a feel for what's happening. In February, we are featuring a wonderful new book from Jungian Analyst Erel Shalit," The Cycle of Life", as well as a special online study group on Astrology with longtime astrologer Kathleen Burt. March will bring a new book from Dr. Michael Conforti, a specialist in archetypes and new sciences, "Field, Form, And Fate".
