Updates from Ukraine

Here we want to give you an update on the involvement of the IAAP in Ukraine and also to mention projects organised by colleagues.

Two breakouts at the Congress about Ukraine

In place of some unfortunate cancellations, Pilar Amezaga has been able to organise two breakout sessions at the Congress, on Monday August 29.

13:30 – 15:00. Support for Ukraine. Reports by representatives from the many psychological and financial help programs

The breakout will include short reports from our Ukrainian colleagues and from colleagues in the neighbouring countries and further away, as well as from the online service #TherapistforUkraine. We will also report on the substantial financial support from different sources.

17:15 – 18:45. “Russian Ukraine war”- Jungian reflections

On 24th February 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine, in an unprovoked, unjust war. Now there are millions of refugees, tens of thousands are dead, and serious war crimes have been committed. This impacts our IAAP community, as we try to support our Ukrainian colleagues; and those Russian colleagues who oppose the war at personal risk. This is a space and time to share feelings – not to ‘bring peace,’ but allow people to be heard, listened to, received, and to reflect together. Can Jung’s idea of the transcendent function help us to find a way forward?

Psychological care for and by colleagues in Ukraine

Our colleagues from Ukraine, the neighbouring countries and further afield, started remarkable psychological relief work already a few days after the war broke out. You can find a description of their work on the IAAP website

Conference organised by the Ukrainian Developing Group, UDG

The X Conference of the Ukrainian Developing Group of IAAP ‘To Be at Home in Oneself and in the World’ took place online on June 25-26, 2022.

The conference was a big and very moving success.

It was a unique experience of organizing an international Jungian conference in the context of the ongoing war. Ukrainian colleagues are grateful to the IAAP and foreign colleagues for their assistance and support in these dramatic times. The conference was announced as a local one at the end of 2021 and was dedicated to the John Hill’s book ‘At Home in the World – Sounds and Symmetries of Belonging’, which have been translated to Ukrainian and will be published in 2022. However, with the beginning of the Russian invasion in Ukraine in February 2022 the topic of home acquired a special significance, since many Ukrainians in these tragic days lost their homes, which were either literally destroyed by barbaric shelling by Russian army, or their residents were forced to evacuate abroad or to safer places in Ukraine.

Papers of both Ukrainian Jungians and foreign colleagues were presented at the conference. John Hill (Switzerland. Ireland) presented his historical, cultural, clinical and poetical approach. Svitlana Shevchenko, Ukraine gave a Ukrainian cultural perspective of home theme. Batya Brosh Palmoni from Israel told on the meaning of earth archetype in the modern age from Erich Neumann’s view. Also among key speakers we had Dmytro Zalessky (Ukraine), Tine Papić (Slovenia), Sophie Braun (France) and Maria Giovanna Bianchi (Switzerland).

The conference program included breakout sessions led by Ukrainian speakers, a social dreaming matrix, panel discussions and an exchange of experience in groups. During the conference, a very warm and cordial atmosphere reigned, participants from Ukraine and other countries shared their emotional experiences and thoughts.

For us, Ukrainians, it was very important to feel the solidarity and support of our international colleagues. We have received many donations from them, as well as a lot of valuable material that allows us to better work on the trauma of war.

#With Ukrainian Jungians

Reading Groups

You are invited to join with our Ukrainian colleagues to read and discuss Ann Ulanov’s paper:

“Making the Unsayable Experiential: Ukraine and Jung’s Red and Black Books”

Mondays: 26/9, 10/10 & 24/20

Tuesdays: 27/9, 11/10 & 25/20

To book stating your preferred day, please email: WUJ@citypsychotherapy.org

Please come and support our Ukrainian colleagues this September and October.

Joe Cambray will be leading an international team of facilitators who have written on, lectured or studied the Red Book, as we join around 90 colleagues from the Ukraine to discuss Ann Ulanov’s paper: Making the Unsayable Experiential: Ukraine and Jung’s Red and Black Books.

This will be a unique opportunity to meet with a small group of Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian colleagues for deeper work together on the prima materia thrown up by the war on Ukraine. Much has been said about the archetypal nature of the war and how it not only touches us, but is also in some way or another relevant to us all.

It is not necessary to have attended the solidarity event in May or to have read the Red Books.

All are welcome. Group lists will be circulated in advance to enable everyone to check in case we need to move people around for professional or personal reasons. Please book now to help the organisers!

This promises to be a rich encounter and, for those who would like to participate, offers a meaningful way to support our Ukrainian colleagues. Please see the flyer for details.

#WUJ date for diary: 1 November 1800 BST international webinar led by Joe Cambray in solidarity with our Ukrainian colleagues.
