JAP International Conference

Essex University, UK, 11-14 April 2024

       Crossing Borders: Clinical, Theoretical, Cultural and Political Implications in our Changing World

Call for Papers

We invite proposals for our 2024 JAP conference that explores the theme of crossing borders, and the impacts and interrelationships between psyche and culture.

We are particularly interested to receive proposals that address the need to work within a multicultural context. What does “crossing borders” mean to you?

How do you think about crossing borders into the unknown, into places of uncertainty and into relationship with the stranger?

How might you speculate about the ways in which encounters emerge and are shaped in the face of cultural turbulences in our interconnected world, a time that asks for a new consciousness?

Please submit 500-word proposals by 30 July 2023 to: Jane Turney, Managing Editor. Email: [email protected]

We are delighted to announce that the Michael Fordham Prize for 2022, which demonstrates the paper with the most creative and original approach to clinical analytic thinking published in the Journal of Analytical Psychology in the year, has been awarded to C. Susan Mizen for her paper, "The Self and alien self in psyche and soma".

The Journal Editorial Committee’s view of the paper was that it was an original and innovative paper which looked at neuroscientific models and applied these to a new conceptualization of the Self. This has clinical implications as is demonstrated in two case examples, especially for the understanding of narcissistic disorders.

The paper was published Open Access in the Journal of Analytical Psychology in June 2022, Volume 67, no. 3, pages 774-795, and can be downloaded free of charge in perpetuity here.

More information on the Michael Fordham Prize is available here on the Journal’s website: www.thejap.org
