The Making of a Jungian Analyst: In Apprenticeship to the Soul

2025. By Robin B. Zeiger
This book dares to offer a deeply personal glimpse into the journey of becoming a Jungian analyst via a process that is enriched via dreams and meaningful sandplay scenes. The reader is invited into the safe temenos of the author’s training analysis, with an analyst who challenges the author to reach beyond herself and develop deep intimacy. With suffering, a flood of dreams, a deep connection to sandplay and an insatiable longing for her analyst’s hand, the author discovers the force of Self in the second half of life that insists on leading the way. The journey emphasizes how analysis is learned via an apprenticeship forged in sitting at the feet of the elders. This includes working with a tough and compassionate supervising analyst who is a Holocaust survivor. The author shares her political transformations in the shadows of war and brokenness of the world that inspires her to meet the “artist within” and helps to make her mark on the world.

“The book makes us witness to the very personal journey of life, her therapy and of becoming a Jungian analyst, of her vivid and meaningful dreams along with several sandplay images, and especially the nuances of her relationships with different therapists that she works with along her journey”
(Bert Meltzer. ISTA)
