In relating to trauma, Carl Jung offered a psychodynamic psychology based largely on a mytho-poetic disposition. That is, the life of the spirit/soul matters.  Childhood trauma has been called soul murder as it is the experience of unbearable affect.  Therapy aims to integrate the inner life with outer life.  A mythic story, the Handless Maiden, will be used to illustrate this experience.

David Russell completed his psychology studies at the University of Sydney. After a period in private practice he joined Western Sydney University and worked first in the Social Ecology program and then in a master’s degree based on the works of Carl Jung and the post Jungians. He is a past President of the Sydney Jung Society. Prior to leaving academic life, David held the position of Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at WSU.

David is currently in private practice in Darlinghurst where he offers psychodynamic psychotherapy.
