PS Gentle reader be aware that there is a way of writing CVs that habitually obscures the gaps and the aporias that inform a life process that never is as linear and clean-cut as the CV-format might suggest. My path has certainly included many turns, upsets and crises. These experiences inform as much (if not more) my analytical practice than any professional or academic “accomplishments”.

John Hill
Jungian Analyst and Supervisor, Zurich, Switzerland.

Evangelos is a deeply compassionate healer with a rare, pluralistic approach to psychoanalysis. He combines a thorough knowledge of the analytical psychological tradition, and expertise in the history of philosophy and religion, especially insofar as this informs the Jungian and post-Jungian movements.

His clients can benefit enormously from these rare traits.
