CALL FOR PAPERS
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Jung and Transpersonal Psychology
You are invited to submit a paper for consideration to be included in a special issue of the International Journal of Transpersonal Studies (IJTS) on the topic of Jung and Transpersonal Psychology. Topics may include Jung’s influences on the field of Transpersonal psychology, similarities or differences between the schools of thought, or how the transpersonal movement has influenced modern post-Jungian thought. This exploration will help to define the historical perspectives and current state of these respective approaches to psycho-spiritual topics. The deadline for submission is November 1, 2015.
This special issue will appear in an upcoming issue of IJTS, a double-blind peer-reviewed journal in print for over 30 years, currently with more than 60,000 unique visitors per year (http://www.
The paper you write should be targeted at a broad professional audience, so that it summarizes its topic clearly and draws on a range of transpersonal and other scholarly literature; the citation level should be relatively high, with the understanding that for some transpersonally-oriented subject areas, only minimal literature exists. In most cases, an explicit connection to thetranspersonal field should be made within the paper.
All manuscripts should be written in English and prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Submission should be made electronically in a Microsoft Word® document to the following address jkaminker@jfku.edu<mailto:jkam
