Project details

The International Association for Analytical Psychology is organizing its 2007 Congress in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Congress will focus on Analytical Psychology that engages the contemporary world, and the finding of confirmations and challenges in numerous spheres, internally among schools of Jungian theory and practice as well as externally from other disciplines.

With this first IAAP Congress in Africa, the host country, South Africa, will be highlighted with its highly diverse, multi-ethnic society, and complicated history and politics.

In preparation for this Congress, which will entail journeys of many sorts, the Program Committee seeks to accent the fullness and diversity of IAAP's multiple encounters.

To enhance the exploration of interdisciplinary approaches as they interact and impact the theory and practice of analytical psychology, the organizers are striving to include experts from various disciplines such as cultural anthropology, the cognitive and neurosciences, sociology, evolutionary psychiatry, politics, history and so forth. Similarly, bands devoted to the Arts are anticipated, with attention to music, movement, film, along with fine arts.

Bands for clinical discussions: proposals involving small groups of analysts focusing on the clinical encounter are invited.
