Psyche in the Arts Research Network was founded by three academic/practitioners – Prof Jane Bacon (performance maker/Authentic Movement practitioner and currently training to become a Jungian Analyst) David Parker (Reader in Fine Art and Psychological Studies, painter) and Michael Evans (Senior Lecturer, Fine Art and painter) and has developed from our contributions to previous International Association of Jungian Scholars conferences and publications as well as the Art and Psyche working group conference hosted by the San Francisco Jung Institute Extended Education Programme.
It is our hope to inspire debate and exchange on the inter-relationships between Arts practices and various notions of ‘Psyche’ which we hope will be of interest to Jungians and other psychoanalysts, arts, film and performance practitioner/scholars, health practitioners, theologians, philosophers, psychologists and anyone interested in what we could call the most profound and meaningful aspects of arts practice.
