A special note for the community: For those of us who couldn’t make the pilgrimage to Zurich for the 23rd IAAP Congress—a truly historic gathering timed with the 150th anniversary of Jung’s birth—I have some wonderful news. The IAAP has just released a treasure trove of recordings from the plenary sessions and major seminars, and they are now available for us all to explore.
The Congress opened with a profound and long-overdue correction to our historical narrative: a deep dive into Emma Jung’s own journey to becoming an analyst. Drawing from her personal journals, dreams, and drawings, the presentation illuminated her “previously hidden path,” offering a moving and essential portrait of her contributions. This was brought to life by Carl Jung, Thomas Fischer, Ann Lammers, and Susanne Eggenberger-Jung, sharing from their editorial work on the landmark volume, ‘Dedicated to the Soul’.
Beyond this keynote, the video library showcases the vibrant and expanding frontiers of our field. You’ll find colleagues engaging with the most pressing questions of our time: from the fascinating intersections of artificial intelligence and the psyche, to nuanced discussions on gender diversity, and even the emergence of adolescent spiritual experiences within online gaming. Distinguished voices like Joe Cambray, Ann Ulanov, Andrew Samuels, and John Beebe, among many others, offer their insights on topics ranging from the place of psychedelics in analysis to cross-cultural studies of the Japanese collective unconscious.
This collection is more than just a record of a conference; it’s a living testament to how Jungian psychology continues to evolve and provide a crucial container for the complexities of the 21st-century world. I encourage you to set aside some time to browse these talks—they are a rich resource for our own reflection and practice.
You can access all the recordings directly on the IAAP website.
