Maxson McDowell PhD, LMSW, LP is past President of the C. G. Jung Foundation in New York.
I've practiced Jungian therapy and analysis and for the past 24 years. I work with individuals and couples and lead two on-going therapy groups: one fourth of my clients are gay. I work well with creative people. Insurance covers me as an out-of-network provider.
I have a special interest in treating injuries to self esteem in, for example, the sons and daughters of narcissistic mothers or fathers.
Carl Jung proved that we live by images, metaphors, symbols and stories. Dreams, myths and fairytales use the same symbolic language. Throughout this website I show how stories and symbols support our growth.
At the C. G. Jung Foundation I teach frequently on Jung's method of dream interpretation, Interpreting legends and fairy tales, and Painting, active imagination, and therapy.
