Maybe the trouble is that you haven't read enough Jung. Maybe it comes down to nothing more than that.

The Kristine Mann Award for Research in Analytical Psychology
The Trustees of the Kristine Mann Library are pleased to announce the tenth annual call-for-proposals seeking the Kristine Mann Award to advance research in Analytical Psychology. Its aim is to encourage research in all scholarly, historical, and theoretical (non-clinical) areas of Jungian studies. It is open to all certified Jungian analysts, analysts-in-training, doctoral students and others engaged in research and scholarship that is of interest to the Jungian community. Preference will be shown to those who are new to the field.
The Library is located at the C.G. Jung Center of New York and contains an internationally-known collection of books and other materials related to Analytical Psychology. The mission of the Library is to disseminate this knowledge to a broad public constituency and to assist scholarship in the field.
Applicants are invited to submit a proposal of no more than 300 words outlining the nature of their research. It should be based on original material that has not been previously presented, published, or submitted elsewhere. It should include a short biography, pertinent contact information, and a research plan. The award is for $4,000 and will be disbursed in two annual installments. An interim progress report will be expected after the first year with the completed project and a public presentation in New York at the end of the second.
Proposals with accompanying documentation will only be considered if sent in PDF format to: KristineMannAward@gmail.com
The deadline for submitting a proposal is August 1, 2026 with applicants being advised of the Trustees’ decision by September 15, 2026.
