A little more about Carl jung resources and my approach

Analytical psychology, also known as Jungian psychology, focuses on the importance of the symbols, dreams, and images, the interplay they have upon the individual’s psyche and our personal quest for psychical wholeness through increased consciousness.

The Jung Study Center an excellent CLASSICAL Jungian resource, with a traditional approach to understanding Jung using his works. Or to become acquainted with Jung watch this short video or read more here.

I also strongly encourage all interested to READ JUNG in his own words. Typically most approachable, is the autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections. Additionally, his closest students in Switzerland Marie-Louise von Franz, M. Esther Harding, Barbara Hannah, to name a few who remain faithful to Jung’s body work. A few additional author’s of note, Edward Edinger, one of the most under-acknowledged and orthodox Jungian analysts, and Daryl Sharpe.

By focusing on dreams and images from the unconscious we can develop a closer relationship not only to the personal psyche but the Eternal. Reflection and analysis upon this material uncovers greater awareness of the unconscious, a process that Jung describes as individuation.

David Di Sano offers analysis on-line, over the phone, or in-person in Los Angeles.

why is Jungian analysis unique?

While Jungian analysis takes into account the impact of our childhood and past, it also looks forward and asks: What psychological development is now called for?

It enlists the power of symbols to connect conscious and unconscious. These symbols may arise from a variety of sources, including dreams, fantasies, art and the everyday events of our lives.

It views the unconscious as a source of wisdom, creativity and direction.
