DEVELOPING THE WORK
Our Russian colleagues are making their
expertise available to other mental health
workers. The Russian Revival Fund has provided
support for their annual professional conference
in St Petersburg and funds for the translation
of key textbooks and papers. The establishment
of a Jungian section in The Russian National
Federation for Psychotherapy is a mark of how
much has already been achieved.
 |
The Russian Revival Fund is also reaching across
post-Soviet space. Its East European Jungian
Summer School, held in Kiev in 2006, was the
first of its kind and showed just how much
enthusiasm is waiting for encouragement.
The school drew
120 people from post-Soviet countries including
Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Lithuania
and Estonia, and within Russia from Moscow and
St Petersburg to Siberia and Krasnodar.
Already the Fund’s graduates are
building on these links to offer teaching
programmes in other cities across the region.
There are plans to make the Summer School a
biennial event. |
The Fund’s activities have also encouraged other
British initiatives. The Child Analytic Section
of the Society of Analytical Psychology in
London has funded a programme for 2007
specifically for therapists working with
children and adolescents in Moscow and St
Petersburg.
