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?
Over the past months I feel that I have been experiencing the process Jung refers to as transcendence. I am extremely passionate & intrigued by all aspects of depth psychology. However, I am currently a senior undergrad majoring in psychology & I have only had the option to take one class that touches on the aspects of Depth Psychology. On my own time I enjoy reading & educating myself in this area of study. I hope being part of this community will give me the opportunity to learn more about the area of Psychology I am passionate about unlike my university.

Welcome Megan!!
Glad you found and decided to join the Alliance. I too came to Jung later in my studies and found depth psychology able to address many of the areas of human experience often sidestepped by other schools of psychology. There are many in the Alliance who have a long history with Jung and some who are newly curious about depth psychology. I hope you will jump into the discussions. By the way, what text(s) did that one class use?
Now to the official welcome...
As you may know, we currently have about 2200 members here on the Alliance from all over the world and we're growing. I hope as you explore the community a bit you find a dynamic group of like-minded people who are all deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology. While there are many Jungian analysts and clinical psychologists here, our members come from various walks of life including artists, writers, doctors, scientists, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.

The January online book club featuring "The War of the Gods in Addiction" with David E. Schoen (http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/events/january-2013-online-b...) has ended but you can read the archived comments and listen to the four weekly archived teleconferences with David if you want--or browse the written discussions from past months as well. We'll have more Book Club groups in coming months.
