I'm pleased to announce that the Summer 2016 issue of Depth Insights Journal, the official scholarly publication of Depth Psychology Alliance, is out! Download your copy today!

Depth Insights journal Summer 2016
Perhaps one of the most profound difficulties of our time at this moment is the challenge to make meaning. When troubles ail us and the world seems to be on the verge of falling apart, recovery of meaning in our personal lives requires a recovery of the sacred, and a recovery of the sacred necessitates a recovery of ourselves and an understanding and communion with the depths of our own being. 

With the launch of this issue of Depth Insights, I am inclined to reflect on our now five-year history of publication. Over the years, we have received an impressive array of high quality depth-psychology-based articles, essays, and poems-as well as fantastic art-that all so powerfully illustrate how depth psychology can enhance the lives of those who engage with information and practices aimed at accessing the unconscious. 

When we begin to understand the symbols and messages that come through from the unconscious to help orient and guide us in daily life, these insights help us make meaning. 

This issue contains a particularly eclectic mix of depth psychology topics, ranging from the value of poetry, especially in a clinical setting, to philosophy, to dreams, to earth-oriented attitudes, and embodied understanding-plus poetry and some gorgeous art--including cover art from Dr. Susy Sanders. Please take advantage of this offering: it is truly a labor of love on so many levels-and feel free to donate a small amount if you feel inclined to help us offset the vast amount of time and money that go into creating such a work.

Tremendous thanks to associate editor, Dr. Tish Stoker Signet, to Adele Gruber for stepping in for editing and proofreading some of the submissions, as well as to all the authors, artists, and poets who contributed to this issue. View or download the issue as a PDF today, and look for the online web pages version coming in the next few days.

In soul, 

-Bonnie Bright, Executive Editor

Many of those dedicated to the study of Jungian psychology know her name, but Sabina Spielrein entered more mainstream awareness after the 2011 film, A Dangerous Method, starring Keira Knightley, presented a highly fictional account of a time in Sabina's life which has resulted in history judging her rather unfairly. What is the real truth about this fascinating woman who knew Jung and Freud so intimately?
