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 69 Group Members (societies) throughout the world, and around 3500 analysts trained in accordance with standards established by the Association.

Since the late 1990’s the IAAP has been engaged in providing training possibilities for people who live in places where no registered training to become a Jungian Analyst with membership of the IAAP is available. The result of this is that the IAAP now has training facilities and qualified Jungian Analysts in all continents.

The aims of the IAAP are:

  1. To promote the study of Analytical Psychology
  2. To disseminate knowledge of Analytical Psychology
  3. To require the maintenance of high standards of training, practice, and ethical conduct
  4. To hold Congresses.

In addition to the triennial IAAP Congresses, the IAAP also supports international conferences around the world, and during the last years the IAAP has actively taken part in joint conferences with universities in recognition of the importance of the connection to the scientific world. This is also reflected in the growing support by the IAAP of research in the Analytical Psychological field.

Latest News

In response to the recent World Health Organisation (WHO) publication of a Psychological Interventions Implementation Manual that predominantly endorse behavioral therapy (BT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, for both adults and young people, the IAAP has sent a letter (LINK) that takes a strong stand against limiting the effective treatments for mental health disorders to the prescribed.

The letter is supported by more than 60 members of the IAAP who are all professors or doctors with a connection to a university. The list of supporters can be seen on the Members’ Area of the IAAP website.

We are pleased to announce that The IAAP on August 2nd received a kind response from WHO where they acknowledge the reception of our letter and attach two articles (article 1) (article 2) which they will take into consideration in the next update of their guidelines.

Active Imagination

Yet, when we face the unconscious, which speaks to us through hitherto unknown and powerful images, emotions, dreams, impulses and wishes that suddenly burst into our consciousness, we once again feel unprepared and defenseless like the hominids who faced the mysterious and disturbing monolith in the famous film by Stanley Kubrick, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Symbol

The word symbol comes from the Greek word “symballein”, which means to throw together, to join together. A symbol, which is “symbolon”, from its conceptual history, is something composed: the visible something of an invisible, ideal reality. The consequence: everything that exists in the world, everything that we experience, means something, has a deeper meaning, refers to something profound.

George Bright

The Red Book

In Memories, Dreams, Reflections Jung writes: “Somewhere deep in the background I always knew that I was two persons.” One was Jung’s everyday self, well adapted to the world, “The other was grown up – old, in fact . . . remote from the world of men, but close to nature, the earth, the sun, the moon . . . and above all close to the night, to dreams, and to whatever “God” worked directly in him.”
