Jungian Psychotherapists Association 20th Anniversary Celebration
To celebrate the 20th Anniversary
of the Jungian Psychotherapists Association (JPA), JPA offers two public
seminars in 2013: Ann Belford Ulanov, April 20, 2013 (already presented) and
John Bebee, October 19, 2013: Approaching
a Patient’s Complexes in Contemporary Culture. After Dr. Beebe’s
presentation, we will host a reception to celebrate 20 years of collegial
community.
Nineteen years ago, at David Hufford’s
behest, eight people gathered to craft a unique Jungian organization, envisioning
a cooperative professional training organization for mental health
practitioners interested in Analytical Psychology. The resulting Jungian Psychotherapists
Association (JPA) nestles midway between the analyst’s guild, North Pacific
Institute for Analytical Psychology/NPIAP, and the community salon, C. G Jung
Society, Seattle. The JPA steering group inaugurated the organization with a
1983 public presentation by John Beebe: What
I’ve Learned from Jung about Doing Psychotherapy. Many event participants
enthusiastically joined JPA to become charter members. At its inception, JPA
members met quarterly for business meetings combined with invited short
clinical presentations by local analysts, sometimes followed by a facilitated
discussion several weeks later. During the ensuing almost 20 years, JPA has
offered a variety of workshops designs, most currently in the form of a public
seminar, two clinical workshops, and an ethics workshop each year; many
workshops are followed by a case consultation led by the workshop leader.
Members may invite licensed practitioners to JPA clinical workshops.
For many years, Steering Committee members
and charter members rotated through elected offices. Many Steering Committee
members and charter members have redirected their attention to other interests;
others have become Jungian analysts or Psychoanalytic analysts; and none of the
original Steering Committee members currently serve on the Council. A new
generation of members now holds elected offices and will ably guide the organization
into the future.
The JPA mission, as listed on the website (www.jpaseattle.org), states the following: “The JPA is a
mutually supportive organization of psychotherapists actively engaged in the
study and application of Analytical Psychology. The central purpose of the JPA
is to further the professional growth, development, and education of its
members. To support this aim, the JPA provides professional educational
opportunities with a clinical focus, including seminars, courses,
consultations, and, study groups.” JPA offers a free annual ethics workshop for
members as well as an annual public seminar, open to the public, at which
well-known Jungian speakers present cutting-edge Jungian perspectives.
JPA is a fluid organization, adjusting to contemporary
needs and directions; for example, JPA recently changed the membership
requirements to eliminate required task group participation and Jungian
analysis. Current membership guidelines are as follows: interest and
foundational background in Jungian Analytical Psychology; and licensed clinician
(or in the process of becoming licensed). Benefits of membership include
professional community; professional development opportunities; member rate for
all training events; professional listserve; JPA blog; and website listing.
We invite you to celebrate our 20th
Anniversary with us. And we invite you to join our professional community which
offers a rich variety of learning opportunities.

SPRING JOURNAL offering
Reading The Red Book
An Interpretive Guide to C. G. Jung's Liber Novus
by Sanford L. Drob
Foreword by Stanton Marlan
ISBN: 978-1-935528-37-1
342 pp.
Price: $32.95
The long-awaited publication of C.G. Jung's Red Book
in October, 2009 was a signal
event in the history of analytical psychology. Hailed as the most important work in Jung's entire corpus, it is as enigmatic as it is profound. Reading The Red Book by Sanford L. Drob provides a clear and comprehensive guide to The Red Book's narrative and thematic content, and details The Red Book's significance, not only for psychology but for the history of ideas. |

Praise for Reading The Red Book
"Drob writes with the heart of a spiritual seeker and the mind and eye of a scholar
... Reading The Red Book, along with his earlier work, has established him as an important and unique voice in Jungian scholarship."
Stanton Marlan, Ph.D., ABPP, President of the Pittsburgh Society of Jungian Analysts,
and author of The Black Sun: The Alchemy and Art of Darkness
"Sanford
Drob has provided us with an indispensable guide to the structure
and function, the purpose and meaning of Jung's hidden masterpiece: this lucid commentary will surely establish itself as the inevitable starting-point of Red Book interpretation for many years to come."
Paul Bishop, Ph.D., Professor, University of Glasgow, and
author of Reading Goethe at Midlife
"An outstanding map to guide the reader through the
labyrinth of associations,
images, and thoughts contained in Jung's Red Book. Drob locates its innumerable themes within an historical context of classical, modern, and postmodern philosophy, connects Jung's ideas with his later works, and elucidates Jung's unique contribution to Western thought. Reading The Red Book is a work of exploration that serves as a companion to any reader who wishes to fathom the secrets of Jung's most enigmatic work."
John Hill, M.A., Senior Jungian Training Analyst, Zürich, and author of
At Home in the World: Sounds and Symmetries of Belonging
"In this essential companion
to Jung's Red Book, Drob tracks the path of
Jung's psychological wrestlings, placing those struggles within the broader tradition of philosophical, theological, and mystical thought. In this way the reader is privileged access to witness not only the astonishing raw, bloody, personal birthing of Jung's ideas—but then also to be led into more tranquil areas for reflection. Drob's comments as well as thematic groupings aid one in imagining those squirming offspring into realms with implications both practical as well as ideological. This book is clear, intelligent and helpful— truly a must read for those who dare cross the Red Book portal."
Pat Berry, Ph.D., President, Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, a
nd author of Echo's Subtle Body: Contributions to an Archetypal Psychology
"...a
much needed antidote to the perilous times in which we live where o
ur political, economic, educational and environmental practices are in dire need of the soul's perspective."
Robert D. Romanyshyn, Professor, Pacifica Graduate Institute, and creator of
the multi-media DVD, Antarctica: Inner Journeys in the Outer World |
