Angeliki Yiassemides, Ph.D. is a Jungian psychoanalyst and developmental psychologist in private practice in Nicosia, Cyprus.
She studied in the United States, and after graduating from the University of Maine earned both a Master of Arts and a Master of Philosophy in developmental psychology from Columbia University in New York City. She worked in the field of early childhood and primary education, later founding and co-directing a Montessori elementary school in Nicosia. After earning her master’s degrees, she went on to enter the doctoral program at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex in England where she earned a Ph.D. with the thesis, “Jung and Time” (2010).
Dr. Yiassemides trained as a Jungian psychoanalyst with the Centro Italiano Psicologia Analitica (Italian Center for Analytical Psychology) via the Malta Developing Group of the IAAP, graduating in 2019. Currently, she is a member of the Cyprus Society of Analytical Psychology and is a certified Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapist with the MIND Foundation in Berlin, Germany.
The subject of temporality in Jung’s body of work has been one of her main academic and clinical research interests. Her book, Time and Timelessness: Temporality in the Theory of Carl Jung, was published as the first volume in the Routledge series, ‘Research in Analytical Psychology and Jungian Studies,’ from Professor Andrew Samuels.
She also edited and contributed to the book, Time and the Psyche: Jungian Perspectives, which came out of the 2014 International Jungian Perspectives Conference in Cyprus, the first conference to explore temporality and its relation to the psyche from a Jungian viewpoint. The book includes essays by Jungian analyst Caterina Vezzoli, the late Ladson Hinton, and guest of the show Paul Bishop, in addition to several others.
Dr. Yiassemides’ journal article, “Hans Bender in Conversation with Carl Jung: Participation Mystique and It’s Implications for Our Understanding of Time and Death,” co-authored with Dr. Marc Wittmann, was published in the January 2025 issue of the International Journal of Jungian Studies. Earlier this week, the article won the Scholarship Award for Best Article Published in 2025.
In January, Dr. Yiassemides presented Temporality in Carl Jung’s Seven Sermons to the Dead for the Jung Club London’s Evening Lecture Series, and next month she will be presenting The Great God Pan Is Not Dead for the Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists (IGAP) at Essex Church in London. This includes a lecture on the evening of Friday, March 27th, and a seminar all day on Saturday, March 28th.
