About the IAAP

The International Association for Analytical Psychology, IAAP was founded in 1955 by a group of Jungian Analysts to sustain and promote the work of C. G. Jung. Today the IAAP recognizes 81 Group Members (societies) throughout the world, and around 4’000 analysts trained in accordance with standards established by the Association.

Since the late 1990’s the IAAP has provided training possibilities for people who live in places where no registered training to become a Jungian Analyst is available. Consequently the IAAP has now training facilities and qualified Jungian Analysts in all continents.

CG Jung & Analytical Psychology

IAAP member analysts have written a series of short articles to introduce the key concept of Analytical Psychology which is the formal name for Jungian psychology.

Emilija Kiehl

The Transcendent Function

The transcendent function is one of the core concepts of Jung’s model of the psyche. It is an attempt to explain the phenomenon of psychic change and development. The transcendent function enables a transition from one psychological attitude to another through a dialectical process of integrating the psyche’s conscious and unconscious contents into a third position, which constitutes a new step in the evolution of personality. The process of psychological development that Jung termed individuation – becoming oneself – involves coming to terms with one’s unconscious. The aim of analysis of the unconscious is the development of the transcendent function, which carries this process through and creates a symbol, where consciousness and the unconscious meet. “The way of the transcendent function is an individual destiny,” writes Jung (CW7, par 369).

Anima and Animus

The concept of Anima/Animus is one of the most popular concepts of Jungian psychology. Originally it was created by C.G. Jung to define the unconscious opposite to the social mask of personality (Persona), thus being an archetype that links the conscious Ego to the unconscious, and an archetypal image that contains all those features and functions that are present in the psyche in a more or less latent form but are not manifested in the conscious life and not available to the conscious ego.

Sonoko Toyoda

Persona

Commonly, in private life, a person takes off his/her social mask and at home wears a more intimate mask. Thus, e. g. a shrewd businessman can be a gentle father with his family. But when the persona is too rigid, or if one strongly identifies with it, then one keeps it on even in private life, and their family might be afflicted or negatively influenced by it. A father who cannot take off his mask of a rigorous teacher when he is at home can sometimes behave in a way that may humiliate his children.
