Call for Papers & Submission Guidelines

Submission dates and the publication timetable will be announced when the call for papers opens.


Scope & Focus

Papers that are published on-line in .pdf format, will be gathered together and published as a volume of essays by Chiron Publications.

Individuation — East and West welcomes original scholarly contributions that engage seriously with both depth psychology in the Jungian tradition and the philosophical, religious, or cultural traditions of East Asia. We particularly encourage comparative, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary approaches.

We accept papers in English and in Chinese (Mandarin). Bilingual submissions are warmly welcomed.
