Dr. Barbara Hort
A Sense of Meaning is the Best Medicine
When we are suffering, and we have no sense of meaning for our suffering, our pain is unbearable. But when we discover a personal sense of meaning in the things that frighten and hurt us, we also discover new sources of strength, nurturance, and healing that we never knew we had.
My name is Dr. Barbara Hort, and all of my work — in private practice, in live theater, and in my writing — is based on this principle. I seek the redemptive power of meaning in the most painful and shadowy realms of human experience. Join me to learn how meaning can transform our darkest pain into illumination and reassurance.

Meet the Author, Dr. Hort
Dr. Hort has developed her wide-ranging career in psychology over nearly four decades, with a primary emphasis on the ground-breaking work of the psychoanalyst Carl Jung. Her 30+ years in private practice have been deepened by her post-graduate studies with the Jungian analysts Jean Shinoda Bolen M.D. and Marion Woodman, both of whom have emphasized the crucial role of the Feminine and Nature in their work.
Beyond private practice, Dr. Hort has worked closely with theater director Chris Coleman to develop psychodramaturgy — a new theater practice in which the psychological dynamics of a play are clarified in order to assist the artists in their embodiment of the play’s characters and story. Dr. Hort has also served on the faculties of Reed College in Portland, Oregon, and Washington State University, Vancouver, during which tenures she published numerous academic articles in the fields of social and developmental psychology.
