Welcome

We would like to offer you a warm welcome to our world wide Jungian Journal. The JAP is the leading international Jungian publication, renowned for its emphasis on the clinical practice of in-depth analysis and its exploration of the relationship between analytical psychology and psychoanalysis. It also addresses issues on the leading edge of philosophy, science, religion, and an understanding of the arts.

Clinical and theoretical articles, book and journal reviews, reflect international developments and current controversies in analytical psychology and Jungian thinking. Journal articles demonstrate the continuing development, relevance and vitality of Jungian thought.

Over the next few years we particularly want to reach out to our colleagues in South America, Australasia and Asia and will be holding conferences and colloquia there, as well as publishing special editions of the Journal.

Please follow our blog (at the bottom of this page) and check in on the videos made by our authors introducing their papers. Download the new JoAP app and follow us on:

JAP Anniversary Conference

Controversies & Contemporary Trends in Analytical Psychology

ONLINE, 7-8 November 2025

 The first issue of the Journal of Analytical Psychology was published in January 1955. It was dedicated to C. G. Jung on the occasion of his 80th birthday. 

To celebrate its 70th anniversary, the Journal will offer a conference to reflect on important past and present controversies and contemporary trends. The conference will start on Friday, 7th November, with a look back into the Journal’s history, its development over the decades and its present significance.

Saturday will be devoted to present-day developments and controversies. Speakers will explore the role of archetypes, affectivity, implicit memory, attachment and focus on the concept of cultural complexes. All the speakers are distinguished experts in these fields and have published articles on their topics in the JAP and elsewhere.

Recordings will be made available to those who are unable to attend on the day or who live in time zones which are unfavourable to live participation.
