When she embarked on her dissertation research of Erich Neumann’s theory, Dr. Lidar Shany thought she would uncover only the part of the theory that describes early life development. Soon she was completely hooked and wanted to read and understand more. The more Dr. Shany researched and realized the extent of Neumann’s theory, the more she found herself thinking of therapy with children and adults alike, in terms of his formulations. She was astonished both by the potential of the theory to promote psychological understanding of therapeutic meaning and by the relative neglect of his writings in the current Jungian world.

Of course, there are many Jungian writers; nevertheless, Neumann had the concrete potential to realize a school of thought of his own, a “Neumannian” branch in Jungian Psychology.

Researching and writing the dissertation that led to the publication of her book – Erich Neumann: The Theory Jungian Developmental Relational & Metapsychological, has been a long and lonely journey. Spending time in her study with Erich Neumann, Dr. Shany came to know him in a very intimate way, and although she is unfamiliar with him as a person, she has a strong sense and deep appreciation of him as a theoretician. She hopes that her current and future work will bring a fresh breeze to his old pages, a spring bloom to his theory, and the feminine spirit he so called for.

During the webinar, Dr. Shany will elaborate on the journey leading her to Neumann’s theory, and describe the fascinating path she is walking, carrying Neumann’s theory with pride and awe.
