In the face of ever-unfolding global crises, extreme inequality, deep political polarization, rising authoritarianism, and the spectre of climate catastrophe, the IAAP has launched The Outreach Working Party. This initiative represents a concerted effort to expand the boundaries of traditional Jungian psychoanalysis beyond the walls of the consulting room.
