INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY XIXth International Congress for Analytical PsychologyAugust 18-23, 2013Copenhagen, DenmarkCall for ParticipationThe Program Committee for the XIXth International Congress for Analytical Psychology is pleased to invite proposals for presentation at the IAAP Congress in Copenhagen, Denmark, to be held from August 18 to 23, 2013. The theme of the Congress will be: 100 Years on:Origins, Innovations and ControversiesIn 2013 it will be a hundred years since Jung first attributed the term ‘Analytical Psychology’ to his own corpus of ideas and theories. It is also exactly a century since Jung began work on the 'Red Book', which even though it was not published at the time, we are now able to recognize as a milestone in the development of the analytic approach to the psyche. By taking risks and shouldering burdens of a long, adventurous and often frightening journey to some of the most unknown areas of the inner world – similar to the discoverers of three centuries earlier – Jung defined a new dimension of what it means to go beyond. Whether acknowledged or not, the history of Analytical Psychology has always honored this tradition, one of creative innovation and controversy. This appears to be a fundamental condition of an analytical attitude which requires being in touch with the vicissitudes of time and life. Copenhagen is a particularly appropriate site for the Congress. Not only is it one of the most picturesque and friendly capitals of old Europe, but it is also a city with a rich history of openness to creativity and innovation that was home to such outstanding figures as Soren Kierkegaard, Hans Christian Andersen and Niels Bohr. Creative innovation and the journey through light and darkness are also reflected in the logo chosen for the Congress, the Sun Chariot. The domesticated horse and the wheeled chariot were brand new innovations in the Bronze Age, when the sun, the wheel and the ship became central elements in the religion of the time. The Sun Chariot illustrates the idea of the sun being drawn on its eternal journey by a divine horse across the vault of the heavens by day and through the darkness of the underworld by night to be reborn to a new morning. The XIXth International Congress will be dedicated to the theme of reflections on the historical roots of analytical psychology, new developments over the past 100 years and directions for the future. In preparing the event the Program Committee, in coordination with the Executive Committee and the Organizing Committee, has drafted the following framework to function as a matrix to contain the contributions we now invite you to offer.
