In this News Bulletin we bring a portrait of Pat Berry. Please enjoy below Susanna Wright’s presentation of Pat Berry.

Pat Berry, Ph.D. is known especially in the Jungian world for her role in developing archetypal psychology.

She has taught extensively, lectured internationally, and has served as President of both the New England Society of Jungian Analysts and the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts.

In 1991 she became the first Scholar in Residence at the Pacifica Graduate Institute and has continued to be connected with its faculty and programming. She has also maintained a private analytic practice and offered supervision.

From 2019-2025 Pat was a member of IAAP’s Executive Committee.

She completed her analyst training at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, and there became one of the founders of archetypal psychology as one of the original collaborators with James Hillman. She was James Hillman’s companion and spouse for about 20 years (from 1968 to 1991), a period during which both were central to the early development of archetypal psychology.
