Research Topics

Time & Psychoanalysis

The concept of Time in Psychoanalytic thinking, and particularly in C. G. Jung's opus. How the concept of time developed throughout Jung’s work; how it relates to his theoretical breakthroughs and his understanding of the workings of the psyche.

Synchronicity & Time

What precisely is the function of time (i.e. of chronos) in the acausal connecting principle of synchronicity? By exploring the role of time in Jung’s theory we can gain a deep understanding of the principle and the way it relates to our everyday experience.

Psychedelic Assisted Jungian Psychoanalysis

Psychedelic integration therapy with an emphasis on Jungian theory. Understanding and exploring the importance of preparation prior to, and integration following psychedelic experiences, for maximizing therapeutic outcome. 

Education as a Transformative Tool

How education can facilitate the teaching and implementation of peace, mental health, creativity, critical thinking, personality development, etc. at an individual and societal level.

Collective Shadow & Collective Unconscious

The split of the Cypriot psyche into ‘Greek Cypriot’ and ‘Turkish Cypriot’: How we can understand, conceptualize and transcend it. Analytical psychology can provide the language and the means for such an endeavor that reaches beyond our personal consciousness.
