In this News Bulletin we bring a portrait and an interview with Pia Skogemann, Danish Jungian Analyst and author of several books and articles on fairy tales and other subjects. Pia Skogemann has had a major impact on the dissemination of Analytical Psychology in the Nordic countries. We hope you will enjoy Misser Berg’s presentation and interview.

Pia Skogemann started very young, and since the 1970’s she has been active in the Danish Jungian community. She has been the leading figure for over 40 years, both as Director of Training at the C.G. Jung Institute in Copenhagen and as the author of numerous books and articles. Recently her 40-year old bestseller Waxing Femininity has been translated to English and published by Jungieanium (Link)

Pia Skogemann’s main themes over the years have been femininity and fairy tales and a combination of the two. She has in her writings dealt with the particular need in Analytical Psychology for concepts to understand the development of the female and the feminine. And she has written about fairy tales with a focus on female heros. She has also published books and articles on other themes which you can read more about by clicking HERE to read Misser Berg’s interview.

We asked Pia Skogemann to name one of her favourite fairy tales and she chose the Norse fairy tale King Valemon. The illustration above is painted by Theodor Kittelson, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-Bear-King-Valemon
