Welcome Terry,
Glad you found us and decided to join. When I started down the psychology path, my first professor stated that we were all there to understand ourselves as much as to understand others. It wasn't until being introduced to depth psychology that there was a means and a language that truly spoke to my inner search as well as aided in my work with others. Much success in Chicago.

Hi Terry. Welcome to the Alliance. It's wonderful to have people like yourself who are actively engaged in learning and certification. As a doctoral candidate myself, I find many opportunities to share my current reading and studies and also to learn from others.
Hopefully, once you have a chance to explore here a bit, you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded 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, 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".
