Meet Edith Wallace, a DuVersity Treasure

Author of How It All Began; How It Continued; No End!

Edith Wallace took her two degrees M.D. and Ph.D. in Europe where she was born. She practiced Jungian analysis in New York since 1951. She received her Jungian training in New York and also in Zurich with Mrs. Emma Jung and C.G. Jung. She started the work that lead to her book, How It All Began; How It Continued; No End! in 1970 in England at the school of her second great teacher J.G. Bennett. Her workshops have taken her all over the U.S., to Canada and Europe, and are now held annually in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Her work has been of interest to art therapists and she often presents at their yearly conferences. She has been teaching at the Pratt Institute Summer course in New Hampshire and also at the Jung Foundation and Jung Institute. She is on the staff of the Institute for Expressive Analysis and is editor emeritus of the Journal for the Arts in Psychotherapy. Her first book of collage work, A Queen’s Quest was published in 1990. Her chapter on Active Imagination appears in: Approaches to Art Therapy edited by Judith Rubin.

Among her honors is the “Creative Edge Award” from the American Art Therapy association. Her present day preoccupation is expressed in two articles: What Does the Face of the Modern Day Shaman look like? and It is Not Only the Face, both published in the journal Impressions. In her workshops, Edith communicates her unique insight and approach to psychology, spirituality and the creative life. At present she resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her teaching and practice continues.
