About the Center

The New York Center for Jungian Studies was founded in 1993 by Aryeh Maidenbaum, Ph.D. - Jungian analyst. Co-Director of the Center is Diana Rubin, LCSW - Clinical Psychotherapist and a staff psychotherapist at The Postgraduate Center for Mental Health’s Institute for the Performing Artist from 1992-1998.

All of the Center’s conferences seminars, workshops and study/tours provide participants with the opportunity to truly nourish body and soul. All are held in exotic and/or extraordinary settings with excellent facilities, gourmet food and the opportunity to participate in rich, content filled programs led by outstanding and internationally recognized analysts and authors. In addition to the annual Jung on the Hudson and Jung in Ireland seminars and conferences, some of the countries where study/tours have been held include Spain, Portugal, Israel and Jordan.

The New York Center for Jungian Studies also publishes a book series in conjunction with Nicolas-Hays publishers. The series features books that are of interest to individuals who would like to further explore the ideas of Carl Jung. To date, over twenty books have already been published in this series.

As we look back over the years, we feel pleased, proud and blessed. Beginning with the modest offerings in the Hudson Valley over ten years ago, we now look forward to our fourteenth annual Jung on the Hudson series, and a yearly, well attended Ireland conference. Additionally, we have held study/tours and conferences in Spain, Portugal, Israel, Jordan, Barbados, the Island of Madeira and-most recently,Cuba. Thank you for helping us grow and inspiring us to visit new places and expand our vision. Best of all, how lucky we are to meet incredibly interesting people from all over the world, from different disciplines and with varied interests who have attended our programs. We hope to keep growing and develop equally exciting and new programs with your help for many years to come.
