This approach reflects the global paradigm shift to learning being made more widely and democratically accessible. This is facilitated in part by the non-localisation opportunities for learning created by the WWW, and the radical evolution and sophistication of communication platforms over the last two decades.  This aspiration maintains the highest regard for the value and integrity of depth psychological theory and practice. It acknowledges the debt owed to the pioneers of depth psychology and their legacy, as well as the tireless work of the clinicians and scholars who have furthered the field of study over the last century.

The Centre for Applied Jungian Studies is committed to excellence in research, teaching and practice.

Jungian and post-Jungian Clinical Concepts’ was inspired by the challenge presented by the Jungian scholars and clinicians at the ‘Spectre of the Other in Jungian Psychology,’ an International Association of Jungian Studies conference that took place in Cape Town in 2017. Where, the urgent need to reach those previously excluded from the teaching and ideas of Jungian psychology, be it for reasons of location, economics or historical prejudices, was unequivocally sounded. In its own modest way, this course sets out to  achieve that. By virtue of offering top-class tuition in Jungian psychotherapy, outside of its traditional setting, being non-localised (online), and a tiered fee structure, the aim is explicitly to democratise the learning opportunities offered by Jungian psychology,  broaden the reach of these tools and to be as inclusive as possible

He trained as a child analyst with Michael Fordham over a ten year period, and teaches Fordham’s work in a number of Jungian Institutes world-wide. He is a certified child, adolescent and adult analyst (CGJISF, IRS-JA), and is a founding and training member of the International Association of Infant Observation (AIDOBB).

He has held visiting professorships and has lectured @ the University of Dakar, Senegal; the Institute of Psychology, State University for Humanitarian Sciences in Moscow; the City University of Macau, and the University of Campinas, Brazil. He has published extensively in the areas of infant observation; the psychic skin; attachment; and child, adolescent and adult Jungian analysis. His work on the psychic skin and attachment was honored by the Psychoanalytic Consortium of Washington, D.C. in 2013. He maintains a private practice in Palo Alto, California.

He has published in a number of journals, collections and reference works on contemporary musics, HIV/AIDS, and cultural, philosophical and psychological topics.

His passion is the imagination in all its manifestations, which is why he is also an author of upcoming fantasy novel King of the Forgotten Darkness (Roundfire Press, 2025).

He recently co-edited Analysis and Activism – Social and Political Contributions of Jungian Psychology, Ed. Emilija Kiehl, Mark Saban, & Andrew Samuels (Routledge) 2016 (Finalist American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize, Nominated Gradiva Award for Best Edited Book).
