A copy of the paper is available under the link: The Love Problem of a Student—Revisited: A Psycho‐Ethical Map for Cases of Anima Projection – Polipo – 2024 – Journal of Analytical Psychology – Wiley Online Library

In this paper, Polipo framed anima projections as an ethical problem and outlined a psycho-ethical “map” This map considers four solutions to the love problem: the “concretistic-literal”, the “fearful-avoidant”, the “rational-depressive”, and the “transitional-developmental” solution, and indicates the latter as the one that is conducive to optimal psychic development. Although developed with a focus on young men, the map may apply to other relations based on projection, regardless of age, sex, gender, or sexual orientation.

This will be the fifth event in the JAP series in which selected authors present their papers and provide the opportunity to ask questions and to enter into a discussion.

Participation is free but restricted to psychotherapeutic practitioners.
