Did you know that Jill Mellick has been in private practice as a Jungian-oriented psychologist in Palo Alto for over twenty years? Learn more about our amazing Professor Emerita in her interview which you can find on her website.
"I don't only "do" Jungian work. For example, I enjoy expanding at times using my background in the expressive arts. I had the good fortune and for many years direct and teach in the masters and doctoral programs in Creative Expression at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and now sustain a working relationship with the school as a Professor Emeritus.
I have delighted in presenting at conferences and workshops in different countries--but I don't like doing too many of them because I like to have time for the books I write as well as my painting and photography."

"The Art of Dreaming: Tools for Creative Dream Work"
by Professor Emeritas Jill Mellick, Ph.D.
How do you enter the dream world? How can you merge your dreams with creative expression?
In this book, Dr. Jill Mellick has woven her understanding of painting and music with her understanding of psychotherapy and cultural traditions.
Amazon Review: Jill Mellick is ushering in a new era of dreamwork with her revolutionary approach to dream analysis through artistic expression.
Dream books that guide readers to work with their dreams invariably ask those readers to write their dreams down, or perhaps record them. The Art of Dreaming stands apart from all other dream books in that it invites readers to work with their dreams in whatever medium is most natural and beneficial to them. For some readers that might in fact be writing or talking, but for others it might be drawing or painting or working in clay or dancing or dramatizing or recreating movement or maskmaking or working in multimedia or creating poetry.
Book Excerpt: "Let me invite you to enter into your dream world in new ways, both innovative and traditional, and to enrich your psychospiritual development through expressive dream work.... I also invite you to entertain holding paradoxical view and contradictory theories about how dreams operate - in time, in space, cross culturally and across media."
