The Self, Individuation, Communitas

What does Jungian psychology stand for in the world today? This burning question is answered in this book by 19 prominent IAAP Jungian psychoanalysts. Originally presented at an IAAP conference on Fundamental Values held in Strasbourg, France in June 2024, the intention of the conference and this book is to address critical issues in present day clinical practice, emergent challenges created by complex cultural diversity in the association, the presence or absence of a sense of community in and among the IAAP Group Members and beyond, and analyst training programs currently active throughout the world.
