I heard about you from Shrink Rap Radio's David Van Nuys, Ph.D. I'm configuring my practice to stand in the space between talk therapy, body psychotherapy and natural medicine modulation of neurotransmitter function. I want to get more experience in giving clients the option of Jungian archetypes as well as other approaches... We can move ahead without fixing all the "glitches." I know, I've been a basic rocket scientist and now am a doctor... Life is worth the effort.
Do you belong to any other online Psychology-related communities or orgs? If so, which?
Occasionally participate in Online Therapy Institute events. Am a listener to David Van Nuys, Ph.D.

Hi Ralph. Welcome to the online depth psychology community! I'm so glad you've joined us and happy to hear you by way of Dr. Dave. He's a tremendous supporter of the Alliance.
As you may know, we currently have nearly 1800 members 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.
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 you may want to consider joining the discussion in the online book club if you haven't already: In December we're featuring "Madness at the Gates of the City: The Myth Of American Innocence,” a mythological and cultural look at our current belief systems with Barry Spector. Since the Book Club is all done via writing in an open forum, you can participate at your own level and schedule--and you can join the discussion anytime, even if you don't have the book. Upcoming in January is "The War of the Gods in Addiction" with David Schoen, as well as a special study group on the Red Book with Robert Bosnak starting January 19.
In case you need detailed help getting started and navigating the site, you can 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
