A Jungian Analyst During the War in Ukraine: Challenges and Lessons Learned

Svitlana Shevchenko is not a famous Jungian analyst, she has not created a new theory, she has not written a book. The only thing that stands out about her is that there has been a war in her country for almost three years now - a war in which Russia is killing her people day after day, trying to destroy Ukraine and everything Ukrainian. She lives and works in Zaporozhye, 30 kilometres from the front line, in a city that is constantly bombed and shelled. But she lives and works, and sometimes she wonders how she manages to do it. Her talk will be about her personal experience, her view of this war and, above all, her work with clients. On the one hand, it is a unique experience, and on the other hand, it is an experience that she shares with her people.
