Edited by Jacqueline Egli

240 pages, ISBN 978-3-85630-793-6

The XXII International Congress for Analytical Psychology was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and for the first time in South America. It was also the first such congress delivered in hybrid form, bringing together IAAP members from all over the globe – in person and on screens. Guests interested in Jungian thinking from other academic fields joined in the conversations. The theme of Opening to the Changing World was explored as we emerge from a pandemic and face the imperative of fast changes to our ways of working and relating to other living beings and the planet we inhabit. The Congress offered ways of exploring themes via a rich program of pre-congress workshops, master classes, plenary and breakout presentations and posters.

The Proceedings are published as two volumes: a printed edition of the plenary presentations, and an e-book with the complete material presented at the Congress. This collection of papers offers a cross-section and insight into contemporary Jungian thinking, from classical theories to the latest scientific research.
