“…One could add to this the findings from experimental research on archetypes, namely evidence which speaks for an archetypal/collective memory. For an overview of the results of experimental research on archetypes see Sotirova‐Kohli (). Even though I participated in conducting this research, I must admit that the statistical effects that were found are very weak.…”

This article gives an introductory overview of the papers in this volume originally given at the Joint Conference of the IAAP and the University of Basel, Basel, October 18-20, 2018. The aim of the conference was to bring core concepts of analytical psychology together with theorizing and research from academic sciences, at the very place where Jung started his academic career, the University of Basel. The conference focussed on three fields: the relationship of consciousness and the unconscious and the theory of complexes; the theory of archetypes; and the status of analytical psychotherapy in contemporary psychotherapy research. The aim of the conference was to further the development of theory in analytical psychology in relation to results and insights in contiguous areas of knowledge. In the first area, contributors pointed to the solid evidence especially from the neurosciences for the psychodynamic conceptualizations of the unconscious, and also for the concept of complexes. In contrast to this, the concept of archetypes is controversial, with a majority of contributors questioning Jung's biological conceptualizations of archetypes, and speaking instead for reformulations from the perspective of cultural theory, dynamic systems theory and other approaches. In the field of psychotherapy research, contributors pointed to the profound need for conducting more empirical studies on the outcome of Jungian psychotherapy, but also for a thorough reconsideration of standard research designs in the field.This volume presents a collection of papers originally given at the Joint Conference of the IAAP and the University of Basel, Basel, October 18-20 2018. The IAAP has recently started to conduct conferences together with universities, to bring together analytical psychology with contemporary academic scholarship. Carl Gustav Jung began his academic career at the University of Basel and later, in the 1940s, received a professorship in psychology from the University of Basel, which he apparently was very happy 1 Mark Solms recently published a theoretical paper summarizing the scientific status of psychoanalysis, referring to recent findings in the neurosciences and other disciplines. The paper contains the major positions he presented in Basel and is available online (open access): https:// www.therapyroute.com/article/the-scientific-standing-of-psychoanalysis-by-m-solms 659 Christian Roesler to accept. Thus, the University of Basel seemed to be a good place to focus on
