ABOUT THE "DEPTH INSIGHTS" E-ZINE
"Depth Insights" is a semi-annual e-zine published in Fall (September) and Spring ( March) that is distributed to all participating members of the online community Depth Psychology Alliance as well as others interested in the fields of Depth and Jungian Psychologies.
Whether you are a seasoned and published writer or someone new to the game, put your passion toward extending Depth Psychology into the world through your writing. See submission guidelines here. The various topics/sections of the E-zine to which you can submit include the following:
Depth Psychology (People, Theory, History, Biography, Concepts): This work would be focused on the life, work, and theories of Freud, Jung, or other Jungians or post-Jungians like Marie-Louise von Franz, Edward Edinger, Wolfgang Giegerich, Rafael Lopez-Pedraza (who just passed away) or James Hillman. For example, it may expound on some aspect of Jung’s Life and Work, including any of the various Jungian concepts such as shadow, complexes, dreams, individuation, ego, Self, alchemy, etc. This may include a psychological, historical, or biographical perspective or focus on an event like Jung’s visit to the Taos pueblo or his long-time exchange of letters with physicist Wolfgang Pauli. It may also include an in-depth look at one particular concept such as "dreams" across theories or methods.
Archetype or Symbol: This would ideally be an essay that explores one particular archetype or symbol. For example, you may choose to write on the archetype of the Mother, War, Vampire, etc. or you may choose to expound on a dream symbol or something in nature that is significant to you.
Ecopsychology and Nature: This work could describe your own experience in nature or a particular aspect of nature that relates to the human psyche, personal or collective. It could feature a current or past environmental or ecological issue.
Shamanism or Indigenous topics including but not limited to discussion of concepts, practices, traditions, history or contemporary issues faced by indigenous peoples.
Current or Past Events or Phenomena: This include a depth psychological take on events that seize your imagination. For me, it was the issue of the vanishing honeybees from Colony Collapse Disorder which I compared to how our egos go out to gather experience but are failing to return “home to the hive” for integration and sacred communion. I have also written about the massive earthquake in Haiti and its aftermath. For you, it may be a take on what’s happening (still) with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the recent and ongoing uprisings in the Middle East, or the sudden loss of electricity that lasted for days during a recent powerful winter storm.
Places: A depth or eco (or terra) psychological look at one particular place can be an homage to that place and a powerful read for others.
Esoteric topics: Many of you are gifted practitioners of astrology, I-ching, Tarot, divination techniques, and other esoteric subjects that also fascinated C.G. Jung himself. Please share your expertise and submit any of your work which you think others who are interested in depth psychology may benefit.
Film Analysis: This would include a depth psychological, symbolic, or alchemical take on a film (from any era). I recently did an alchemical take on “Black Swan” and I’ve seen various good interpretations of Avatar, the Matrix, and other blockbusters. However, we are equally interested in smaller and more obscure movies so don’t hold back if something is speaking to your psyche.
Book Review of any book you find relevant and depth-psychology-related – especially welcome if they are new in the field, although anything that grips you is welcome.
Poetry: Original pieces of any length and style are welcome for submission
Artwork: Photos or scanned images of original artwork in any medium are welcome. We prefer a TIFF image, but a large/high-resolution jpeg is also fine.
