I studied Psychology back when i was getting my undergraduate degree in Photography, it was mandatory to take these classes. I was taught of the symbolic in the linguistic dimension, the writings of Jacques Lacan and Ferdinand de Saussure. Then, through time, I learned to apply signs [symbolism] in my art work, it got stuck with me, but also started observing the patterns of human behavior. My graduate degree is in Filmmaking; naturally I am interested in archetypes and human condition and have been reading more psychology texts on my own as well as Jung. I am also into the Tarot and the esoteric.

Hi Nefeli. Welcome to the Alliance. I'm so glad you've found us. I think applying depth psychology and the power of archetypes and symbols to filmmaking and art are so profound.
Meanwhile, I think 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 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, there are many opportunities to engage as you browse the site. When you're ready to jump in, please feel free to post a topic for discussion in the forum, respond to someone else's post, or share a link to an article or web site you like.
Also, if you have time, you may want to consider joining the online book club—There's a new author each month, and you can jump in at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish. The Book Club is all done via writing in an open forum, so you can read all the comments that have gone on so far. In June we are featuring an anthology with an ecopsychological bent: "ReBearths: Conversations with a World Ensouled" with Dr. Craig Chalquist.
