Alessandro Caldonazzo Gomes

Alessandro Caldonazzo Gomes is a psychologist and Jungian analyst based in Varginha, Minas Gerais, Brazil. He is a member of IPAC (Instituto de Psicologia Analítica de Campinas) and the Associação Junguiana do Brasil, both affiliated with the International Association for Analytical Psychology. He previously held a practice address in Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais, and maintains his registration with the Conselho Regional de Psicologia under number CRP 04/9244.

Caldonazzo Gomes has served in leadership positions within the Brazilian Jungian community, including a term as President of the Associação Junguiana do Brasil (2020–2022) and as Director of Teaching (2017–2019). His tenure at the helm of Brazil's national Jungian association placed him at the center of the country's institutional efforts to advance analytical psychology as both a clinical discipline and a training tradition.

His scholarly and clinical interests center on the contributions of analytical psychology to child psychology and child psychotherapy. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of C.G. Jung, Michael Fordham, and Erich Neumann, his work explores how depth-psychological concepts can illuminate the developmental processes of childhood and inform therapeutic practice with young patients. This specialization in child analytical psychology positions him within a distinctive current of the Jungian tradition that takes seriously the earliest phases of psychological development. His combination of institutional leadership and clinical expertise in child psychology makes him a significant figure in the Brazilian Jungian landscape.
