A Warm Welcome to the Journal of Analytical Psychology
We are very pleased to announce our XVth JAP conference and our first to be held in Latin America, organised with our colleagues in SBrPA, AJB & CLAPA. The title of the conference is: 'Civilisation in Transition - Clinical, Social and Academic Perspectives'. The conference will be held in Sao Paulo; originally to be held in July/August 2020 it has now been postponed until March 8th-11th 2021. The title is inspired by Volume 10 of Jung's Collected Works, 'Civilisation in Transition' ...
Martin Stone introduces the JAP Special Edition on the 'Who is my Jung?' Conference, originally held in November 2017. This Special Edition of the Journal, published in June 2018, includes all but one of the papers from this very successful conference. Martin gives an introduction, a brief history of the conference and an outline of the edition - click here for his video.
We are happy to report back from the very successful ‘Who is my Jung?’ conference that was organised and hosted by the Association of Jungian Analysts to celebrate forty years since their foundation. Not only was the conference a success in itself - it was sold out, indeed oversubscribed - but there was a wealth of excellent papers, all given in a generous spirit which reflected AJA’s generous intention in bringing all five London Jungian training societies together. We are also very pleased that the papers will be published in a forthcoming Special Edition of this Journal.

JAP Conference 2027
The Space Between: Its Limits and Possibilities - Collapse and Metamorphosis in the Analytic Vessel and the World
In-Person conference 14th to 17th October 2027
This in-person conference invites reflection on the space between analyst and analysand, inner and outer worlds, breakdown and emergence, limits and possibility. Analytic work often takes place at thresholds where emotional experience exceeds symbolization; where the frame is tested, and where meaning may either be missing, or may emerge or transform. In these liminal spaces, processes of collapse, impasse, and uncertainty coexist with the potential for psychic movement, creative emergence, and metamorphosis.
We welcome papers that engage deeply with clinical work and analytic thinking. Please follow the link for details on the Call for Papers.
