Linda Carter, M.S.N., is a Jungian analyst, author, researcher and instructor in private practice in Carpinteria, California.
After completing her undergraduate work at Georgetown University, she went on to attend the Child & Family Mental Health Program at Yale, earning a Master of Science in Nursing. She trained as a Jungian analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute Boston and worked in private practice in New England for 35 years. Currently, she practices in Carpinteria where she also taught in the doctorate program at Pacifica Graduate Institute until 2020.
She has been a Visiting Analyst at the C.G. Jung Institutes of Los Angeles and Boston, and for the last six years has been involved in the IAAP router program in China as a supervisor, examiner, analyst and teacher.
Linda also trained as a Sandplay Therapist with Edith Sullwold, is the founder and Chair of the “Art & Psyche” Working Group, and continues to receive training in psychopharmacology.
For five years, she worked as US Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Analytical Psychology, spending three years as their Book Review Editor and four years as their Film & Culture Editor.
Along with her husband, fellow Jungian analyst (and our December guest) Dr. Joseph Cambray, she is co-editor of the book, Analytical Psychology: Contemporary Perspectives in Jungian Analysis and co-author of the chapter, “Analytic Methods.”
Linda is the recipient of two Gradiva Awards: one in 2019 in the art category for exhibition for The Illuminated Imagination: The Art of C.G. Jung, and the other in 2021 in the digital media category for Art in a Time of Global Crisis: Interconnection & Companionship. Last year, she was nominated for best article for “Amazing Grace,” published in Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche, and presented at the Art, Psyche & the Creative Imagination program in Limerick.
She has contributed essays for two volumes of Jung’s Red Book for Our Time – “Jung as Craftsman” in Volume 3, and “Going the Full Circle: Pattern Resonance from Microcosmic Interactions to Macrocosmic Amplifications” in Volume 5 which she presented at the 2022 Eranos Conference, “Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul in the 21st Century.”
