Jungian Psychology Space (JPS)
Jungian Psychology Space (JPS) is dedicated to the work founded by Carl Gustav Jung and known under the following names: analytical psychology, Jungian psychology, Jungian depth psychology, and Jungian analysis.
The intention of the website is to provide a bridge between the anglophone and francophone Jungian communities in the world.
Espace Francophone Jungien (EFJ)
JPS is an integral part of the platform Espace Francophone Jungien, created by Jean-Pierre Robert in 1998 and hosted under the domain name cgjung.net.
JPS contains part of the EFJ’s francophone content that has been translated into English. In addition, it contains anglophone articles, whose French translations have been published on the francophone mother site.
Both anglophone and francophone parts of the site are managed by the French association Espace Francophone Jungien.
Mission statement
Spreading Jungian Thought
The platform’s goal is to make Carl Gustav Jung’s ideas accessible to all, from beginners and enthusiasts to scholarly and clinical experts.
JPS explores and presents living Jungian thought and contemporary developments through articles, book reviews, interviews, testimonials, and more.
The style and form of the content vary depending on the topics covered and the diverse backgrounds of the many Jungian contributors and authors. This diversity allows each reader or visitor, regardless of personality type, to find personal interest and reliable resources.
Core Values
The editorial approach of JPS is grounded in the following values:
- Acknowledging and exploring the unconscious: recognizing the central role of the unconscious in the psyche and its significance in understanding human experience.
- The importance of meaning for the individual: supporting the personal search for meaning and the process of individuation, both of which are foundational to Jungian psychology.
- Cultural and symbolic openness: honoring and respecting the diversity of human experiences and psychologies, valuing the richness of cultural and symbolic expressions.
- Empowering marginalized resources: giving voice to ideas and perspectives that may not always find space in mainstream discourse, ensuring that marginalized viewpoints are heard and valued.
History and evolution of EFJ and JPS
Origins
The French-language website cgjung.net was launched in March 1998 and was created by Jean-Pierre Robert, who has overseen its development ever since.
Evolution
At the beginning of 2019, the purpose of the website was defined, with the concept of space suggested by Chantal Armouet. In May, the association Espace Francophone Jungien (EFJ) was co-founded by Ariane and François-Marie Callot, Chantal Armouet, and Jean-Pierre Robert to manage the website and its activities.
In July 2021, the English-language site Jungian Psychology Space (JPS) was launched, with key contributions and translations by Peggy Vermeesch, who now oversees its ongoing operations.
The editorial team
In 2024, the team expanded, and the continued smooth running of EFJ is now ensured by Ariane Callot, Claire Droin, Cécile Gatille, Rachel Huber, Peggy Vermeesch, and Jean-Pierre Robert.
Among their many tasks, they handle the selection of content for publication, proofreading, and external relations. Individually, they also write articles, provide translations, and conduct interviews.
Updates
New content is continuously being published. The latest updates on the site can be tracked on this page or by subscribing to the site’s newsletter.
