Dr Jingchao Zeng

Biography

I hold an MA and a PhD from the University of Essex, where I specialised in Carl Gustav Jung's psychology and divination. My research interests broadly encompass the history of depth psychology, Asian cultures, religions and their intersections with depth psychology, Additionally, I am interested in the clinical practice of depth psychology. I am the co-organizer of the Synchronicity Research Group at the University of Essex, working alongside Dr Nathan Fraikin (France, co-organizer) and Prof Roderick Main (UK, advisor) to explore key issues and debates surrounding Jung's concept of synchronicity. Our research projects include edited anthology, group seminars, academic papers, and conference panels. I have also widely published in international peer-reviewed journals and present at academic conferences.
