Welcome to the weekend and to this week’s Jungian.Directory newsletter, where we bring you Jungian events, books, conferences, courses and videos from around the world. As the evenings draw in across the north and the days lengthen in the south, there is plenty still to explore.
We have five events for you. Our spotlight is a six-part online series from the Pari Center that begins tomorrow. Also tomorrow, the Sociedad Española de Psicología Analítica explores the concept of the archetype, from Jung to Erich Neumann and Carlos Byington. On Sunday the C.G. Jung Club of Orange County hosts a free talk on Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival and the Grail quest. On Tuesday the Southern African Association of Jungian Analysts looks at resilience, in psychological, ecological and evolutionary terms. On Thursday, the Irish Analytical Psychology Association explores the mother complex, the mother archetype and the Self.
We feature two forthcoming books, both due in 2027. Azalea Kushairi’s A Jungian Ecocritical Approach to Malay Folklore and Donald Kalsched’s Early Trauma, Dissociation, and the Unremembered Child will both be published by Routledge.
We also feature two conferences from the IAAP. The IAAP’s second European conference on childhood, adolescence and young adulthood takes place in Warsaw on 23 to 24 August 2027, on how identity forms in a time of profound social, cultural and technological change, and its call for papers closes on 30 November. The XXIV International Congress for Analytical Psychology takes place in Rome from 27 August to 1 September 2028, and its call for papers closes on Monday 16 November.
There are two courses as well, both online and both lasting four weeks. From Tuesday 17 November, the JUNG Archademy runs a course on working with the feeling function. From Friday 27 November, the Centre for Applied Jungian Studies loks at desire, imagination and the art of longing.
Our YouTube videos are at the end of this email. First, Jungian analyst Ruth Williams, talks to Speaking of Jung about animals as “auxiliary therapists” and what they might be telling us about the planet. Next, James Hollis returns to the Jung and the World podcast to talk about The Middle Passage and the shift from the first half of life to the second. Lastly, the Italian podcast Jungian Dialogues welcomes the Freudian psychoanalyst Sarantis Thanopulos to discuss the proliferation of diagnoses and the young people caught in them.
