Thanks for your message. I am a new member of the Depth Psychology Alliance and very excited about the possibilities for building community around Jungian psychology, creativity and soul and bringing these teachings into the large world.
I would be happy to talk to you in more detail about my experiences at The Wright Institute.(510) 540-0777 Briefly: When I attended (1981-85) the program was strongly centered in new consciousness and vision, appealing to adult professionals committed to making a difference in the world. There was quite a lot of space for creativity, for constructing your own course of study depending on your unique personal and professional goals. Financially, however, The Institute was in disarray! They are now much more structured, APA approved so course of study more in line with traditional psychology education. It has been many years since I taught or supervised for them so I'm a bit out of touch. From what I know, still a fine school, in a wonderful city, with the SF Jung Institute right across the Bay.Hope this helps. All the best, Marilyn
Greetings Leland and welcome to the online depth psychology community! It's great to have you here! The first time I say the Red Book, I was blown away. Now when I read it or look at the illustrations I am still awed and given great inspiration to delve deeper.
As you may know, we currently have over 2500 members from all over the world. 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 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.
