The Russian Revival Project

The Russian Revival Fund has been working since 1998 to train local mental health professionals in psychotherapeutic approaches which were banned during the Soviet regime. The Project is an official programme of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP). The first five Russian graduates from our programme became internationally recognised members of the IAAP in 2004. We are delighted to report that there are now thirty qualified analysts in Moscow and St. Petersburg, with more expected to graduate later this year. This exciting news brings the project close to its goal of building a self-sufficient group of Russian analysts who will become the trainers of the future. Their therapeutic skills are urgently needed in the continuing social and economic insecurity of Russian life, which exacts a harsh toll on the emotional and mental well-being of individuals, families and children.

The work continues and, within the past year, a new group of twenty-four Russian psychiatrists and psychologists from Krasnodar, a city in the south of Russia, have begun to train with us. We have involved our IAAP Russian colleagues in helping to deliver this programme, so we are gradually handing over the baton to them. Our colleagues in Russia have now formed The Russian Society of Analytical Psychology (RSAP), which is recognised officially by the IAAP. Until they become a self-sufficient Training Society which is planned for 2013, they will still require our financial and professional expertise to complete their training. For this, and to engage these new trainees from Krasnodar, we need money. We are enormously grateful to the distinguished actors, singers and musicians who are giving their skills to us for the evening. Please give generously and we wish you a most enjoyable evening.
