Dr. Raff has been a Jungian Analyst in private practice in Colorado for over 35 years. He has devoted himself not only to work with individuals but to the study of the inner world. In this pursuit he has developed original ideas for understanding the nature of the spiritual quest and the ways in which it may be pursued. His ideas on the imagination, the transpsychic realm, and inner figures combine to convey an original and exciting spiritual path. Moreover, his teachings on the relationship with the spiritual entity known as the Ally offer a path of love and relatedness that creates a bond between human and divine.

In addition to his private practice, Dr. Raff is a well known teacher of Jungian thought, alchemy, kabbalah and related topics. His writings include "The Ally" and "The Felt Vision" in The Sacred Heritage, and "Jung and the Alchemical Imagination" in Alexandria 5. In his first book, Jung and the Alchemical Imagination he develops his theory of the Ally, the psychoid or transpersonal realm, and the nature of inner transformation. His second book, Healing the Wounded God, written with Linda Vocatura, will be published this Spring by Nicolas-Hays and develops the themes of the Ally and its transformation of both the human and divine realms. His third book, to be published soon, is called The Wedding of Sophia and, basing itself on the alchemical masterpiece, Aurora Consurgens, which portrays the Goddess Sophia and a psychoidal being awaiting union with God.

Dr. Raff received his Ph.D. in Psychology from Union Graduate School and attended the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich from which he graduated in 1976.
