Weaving Woman: Musings and Meditations on the Feminine Mythos
An invaluable title for every woman who is working towards reclaiming her own power Weaving is a process; woman is the essence of this book. Every woman will experience blood mysteries, dealing with mother, being a daughter, Amazon, Hetaerae, and integrating the shadow, if she is to mature. Share with the author, a Jungian analyst for over 25 years, the experiences you have in common with other women in the process of becoming. As Barbara Black Koltuv reveals, there is no such thing as a completed definition of woman. Women are always in the process of becoming and weaving together all the elements of their lives into their own unique patterns.

About the author
Barbara Black Koltuv
8 books19 followersBarbara Black Koltuv received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University in 1962. She had a Post Doctoral Fellowship in 1963, and was licensed by New York State as a Psychologist. She began to study at the New York University Post Doctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. Her primary supervisor was Erich Fromm, with whom she studied the language of dreams, and learned to work with patients from a deeply spiritual psychological perspective. In 1969 she was awarded a Diploma in Psychoanalysis from the New York University Post-Doctoral Program.
Barbara Black Koltuv began her psychoanalytic practice in New York in 1963. She was known to be "a talented psychoanalyst" who, because she had no particular theoretical preference, "worked with dreams from the seat of my pants". All that changed in the summer of 1968 when she discovered Jung's autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections. There she found a theoretical orientation that honored intuition and was deep and broad enough to include psychology, imagination, creativity, spirituality, and a way of healing personal suffering. She began reading everything of Jung's and the Jungians, and began analysis with a wonderful Jungian analyst.
In 1973 she began training at the C.G. Jung Institute of New York. There, her teachers were Edward Edinger and Christopher Whitmont.
She received her Diploma as a Jungian Analyst in 1980 from the C.G. Jung Institute of New York and served on the Board of the Institute, and on the faculty as a supervisor and training analyst.
She lectured and gave workshops and classes in feminine psychology, Lilith, relationships, creativity, and spirituality at the C.G. Jung Foundation, Wainwright House, and The Open Center.
In 2003 she was a founding member of the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association, where she continue to be a faculty member, supervisor, and senior analyst, and serve on the Philip T. Zabriskie Lecture Committee.
