EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORTS<br />
pg. 4
THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT FOR 2008<br />
By Hester Solomon<br />
Since my last report, the Officers, Executive<br />
Committee, and Committees, Sub-Committees and<br />
Working Parties have been very busy with a number<br />
of IAAP activities. I would like to bring you up to<br />
date with recent <strong>new</strong>s, and to give you an idea of the<br />
work and activities, the planning and preparations,<br />
that have been going on in the IAAP over the last<br />
twelve months.<br />
We have now settled into a rhythm of working, where<br />
the five Officers meet three times per year, receiving<br />
and responding to reports from the Sub-Committees and Working Parties,<br />
answering other communications, and preparing for the yearly meeting of the<br />
Executive Committee, which takes place in February each year. Many email<br />
discussions are generated between our meetings. Nevertheless, we have<br />
devolved much of the day to day work and special project responsibilities to<br />
the Standing Committees, Sub-Committees and Working Parties. Responsibility<br />
for each committee budget also has been devolved to the Chairs of each<br />
committee, a system that is working very well. At the forthcoming meeting of<br />
the Executive Committee, there will be an opportunity for each of the Sub-<br />
Committees and Working Parties to meet and to bring their work forward, prior<br />
to reporting to the whole of the Executive Committee. <strong>The</strong> devolution of the<br />
workload has been a successful development, as decision making has been<br />
extended throughout the Executive Committee, ensuring that the many talents<br />
of our EC members are increasingly used, while each member is increasingly<br />
engaged in the work of the IAAP.<br />
As President, I, along with Joe Cambray, the <strong>new</strong> Finance Officer, am in regular<br />
contact with Mr Amsler, the IAAP Treasurer and lawyer, and Mr Gubser, the<br />
IAAP accountant, to keep a careful watch over the finances overall. We have<br />
also worked out a revised system for setting out the finances that we trust you<br />
will find more accessible. This will be fully explained at the Council of<br />
Societies meeting in February 2010, and implemented at the Delegates’<br />
Meeting in Montreal in August 2010. I believe that the greater transparency<br />
and accessibility of the finances to the membership will be a significant<br />
development for our organization as a whole.<br />
<strong>The</strong> preparations for the Montreal Congress in August 2010 are going apace.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Executive Committee will make a site visit during its forthcoming meeting<br />
in Montreal, and will consider the other preparations that are underway. <strong>The</strong><br />
Program Committee has sent out a call for proposals, and at the time of the<br />
pg. 5
deadline in October, more than <strong>28</strong>0 proposals had been received from IAAP<br />
members around the world. <strong>The</strong> Program Committee will also meet in Montreal<br />
in February to make the final selection of papers, and notifications of<br />
acceptance will be sent out soon after. No doubt the range of papers and the<br />
quality of the content will make our Congress -- Facing Multiplicity: Psyche<br />
– Nature – Culture -- a most memorable event.<br />
During the year, in response to the tragic catastrophe in Szechuan Province,<br />
China, the <strong>new</strong> Funding Raising Sub-Committee, under the chairmanship of Tom<br />
Kelly, launched an appeal for funds to support the sterling work of Professor<br />
Heyong Shen, IAAP Individual Member at Fudan University, Shanghai, and his<br />
team of IAAP Developing Group members and others, who worked on trauma<br />
relief for victims of the tragedy. Other funds were raised by Christian Gaillard<br />
and John Hill for the Developing Groups in Kiev and Tbilissi. Still other<br />
projects, such as that in Russia, also benefit from the enormous work of our<br />
members.<br />
I am pleased to report that, following the dramatic crash of the IAAP website in<br />
September 2007, work has gone on steadily to rebuild the site. Don Williams,<br />
our Webmaster, and his team are seeking to enhance the user friendliness of<br />
the site, and further work is envisioned on this project that is so important for<br />
internal use as a resource for our membership, as well as for the outreach and<br />
public profile of the IAAP.<br />
Four <strong>new</strong> Working Parties have taken their work forward this year. <strong>The</strong><br />
Mediation Working Party sent a letter to all Presidents and Individual Members<br />
asking for names of those with experience in this field to form part of a team<br />
for possible future IAAP mediation work. <strong>The</strong> Governance Working Party is<br />
engaged in a feasibility study to modernize the structure of the IAAP<br />
Constitution so that it is closer to 21 st century working methods in order to<br />
better serve the membership. <strong>The</strong> Child and Adolescent Working Party is<br />
gathering information about <strong>Jungian</strong> analytic child and adolescent training and<br />
practice in various areas of the world, with a view to possible designation of<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> Child and Adolescent Analysts at the IAAP level. <strong>The</strong> Training Models<br />
Working Party is set to collect information about the different training models<br />
across IAAP member societies.<br />
In June, a meeting took place in London, chaired by myself, with the Co-Chairs<br />
of the Developing Groups Sub-Committee, Joe Cambray and Jan Wiener, and<br />
the Chair of the Individual Membership Sub-Committee, Tom Kelly, to make a<br />
much needed review of the structure and processes of the Developing Groups<br />
and Individual Membership programs. A report of the meeting will be discussed<br />
at the forthcoming Executive Committee meeting in February 2009.<br />
pg. 6
<strong>The</strong> very successful second joint Academic Conference between the IAAP and<br />
the IAJS (International Association for <strong>Jungian</strong> Studies) was held at the ETH in<br />
Zürich in July 2008. <strong>The</strong> atmosphere was particularly collegial, and academics<br />
and clinicians alike were pleased to have an opportunity to share their<br />
expertise with each other.<br />
Two further conferences are planned involving the IAAP, prior to the triannual<br />
Congress to be held in Montreal in August 2010. <strong>The</strong> Fourth International<br />
Conference of Analytical Psychology and Chinese Culture will be held in April<br />
2009, at Fudan University, Shanghai, on: <strong>The</strong> image in <strong>Jungian</strong> analysis –<br />
active imagination as a transformative function in culture and<br />
psychotherapy.<br />
In June 2009, the First European Conference of Analytical Psychology will be<br />
held in Vilnius, Lithuania, entitled Dialogue at the Threshold between East<br />
and West: Cultural Identity Past, Present and Future. Vilnius has been<br />
selected as the European capitol of culture for 2009, and it is particularly<br />
fitting for the first European Conference to be held in that city.<br />
For further information about the varied work of the IAAP, I do encourage you<br />
to consult the reports from the Chairs of all the Standing Committees, Sub-<br />
Committees, and Working Parties on this Website. This will give you a full idea<br />
of the breadth and depth of IAAP activities.<br />
Respectfully submitted,<br />

THE HONORARY SECRETARY’S REPORT FOR 2008<br />
By Paul Kugler<br />
As I sit back and reflect on the IAAP in 2008, what stands out most<br />
is a sense of vitality, organizational health and good will. This past<br />
year has seen significant progress in many areas, from the work of<br />
the Program Committee in preparation for the Montreal Congress in<br />
2010, to the continued interest in Individual Membership, and the<br />
exciting activities in the Developing Groups extending from Central<br />
Europe to South Africa, Latin America and China. And finally, the<br />
<strong>new</strong> the <strong>new</strong> administration’s Executive Committee has begun to<br />
meet and develop its own identity and style of working together.<br />
During February of 2008, the Program Committee convened in Zurich for the first<br />
time. Tom Kelly presented an overview of preparations for Montreal in 2010 and the<br />
theme for the Congress was discussed. <strong>The</strong> meeting was a very collaborative<br />
experience and the following theme chosen for the 2010 IAAP Congress in Montreal:<br />
Facing Multiplicity: Psyche, Nature, Culture<br />
An adaptation of the Dürer drawing, “Armillary Sphere” has been selected as the<br />
background image for the Congress Program. <strong>The</strong> Montreal analysts are excited about<br />
the IAAP membership coming to their city in 2010 and they are looking forward to<br />
working together and making the Congress a great success. <strong>The</strong> dates of the next IAAP<br />
Congress in Montreal were set for 22-27 August 2010.<br />
Between the 5th and 9th of February 2008, the Executive Committee met in Zürich as<br />
well. <strong>The</strong> meeting included a carefully worked out schedule which allowed for all<br />
Sub-Committees and Working Parties to have adequate time to meet and conduct<br />
their business, independent of the EC meeting. As the IAAP moves to give more<br />
authority to the Committees and Working Parties, this is an essential step. Two<br />
changes to the EC membership also took place at that meeting: Tamar Kron (IIJP,<br />
Israel) and Denise Ramos (SBrPA, Brazil) became the official representatives for<br />
their respective societies.<br />
At the Cape Town Delegates Meeting frustration had been experienced during the<br />
presentation of the IAAP finance report. To help address this situation, Joe Cambray,<br />
the <strong>new</strong>ly appointed Finance Officer, has been working closely with Mr. Amsler, the<br />
IAAP lawyer, and Mr. Gubser, the IAAP accountant, to create a Manual for Bookeeping<br />
to help the EC Members better understand the overall IAAP finances. In addition,<br />
they have carefully worked to make important structural changes in the budget and<br />
these changes have improved the clarity of the overall IAAP finances. As we approach<br />
the preparation for the 2010 Delegate Meeting, these changes will be used to help<br />
make a more accessible and transparent presentation of the IAAP finances to the<br />
membership.<br />
pg. 8
Since the founding of the IAAP, many amendments have been added to the<br />
Constitution and By-Laws, leading to a kind of patchwork document. One of the tasks<br />
taken up by the EC was to approve a feasibility study to be done by the Governance<br />
Working Party. <strong>The</strong> project would assess the possibility of making revisions to the<br />
Constitution so as to remove inconsistencies and craft all the past amendments into a<br />
more accessible and integrated document. This report will be presented to the EC at<br />
their February 2009 meeting in Montreal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> February EC meeting also included several more soulful activities.<br />
Dr. Jost Hoerni, a member of the Jung family, gave the PC and EC members a very<br />
informative guided tour of Bollingen.<br />
On another evening and one evening Joerg<br />
Rasche, a concert pianist, and Jan Weiner,<br />
an accomplished singer, performed an after<br />
dinner concert for the members of the EC.<br />
<strong>The</strong> over-all experience of the meeting was<br />
personally, administratively and politically<br />
very fulfilling.<br />
In July, the Third Multidisciplinary<br />
Conference of the International Association<br />
for Analytical Psychology and the Second<br />
Joint Conference with the International Association for <strong>Jungian</strong> Studies took place in<br />
Zürich at the ETH.<br />
pg. 9
<strong>The</strong> theme of the conference was<br />
“Contemporary Symbols of Personal, Cultural,<br />
and Natural Identity: Historical and<br />
Psychological Perspectives.” With over two<br />
hundred persons attending and a wide range<br />
of presentations applying analytical<br />
psychology to cultural, clinical and scientific<br />
topics, the conference was an overwhelming<br />
success.<br />
<strong>The</strong> IAAP Officers also met in Zürich before and after the conference to review the<br />
work of the Sub-Committees and Working Parties, and to address correspondences and<br />
other IAAP matters. During this time the Officers also visited the IAAP archives,<br />
housed in Zürich at Gemeindestrasse <strong>28</strong> at the premises of the Psychology Club.<br />
In late November the Officers met again in Milan to review the progress of the Sub-<br />
Committees and Working Parties and prepare for the February 2009 EC meeting. In<br />
the past, the management of all the documents necessary to conduct an Officers and<br />
EC meeting presented a very real challenge. At the Milan meeting, for the first time,<br />
the Honorary Secretary and the Presidential Secretariat experimented with the<br />
creation of a single text, containing all the required documents. This text was<br />
arranged according to the agenda, bound and paginated, and included a table of<br />
contents with page numbers for each individual document. <strong>The</strong> Officers found the<br />
experiment a success and it will be used for the first time with the Executive<br />
Committee at the February 2009 meeting.<br />
During the Officers meeting in Milan,<br />
CIPA, one of the Italian Group<br />
Members, held the first International<br />
Congress – Inter-School Forum on Child<br />
Analysis (ISFCA) with the theme: “<strong>The</strong><br />
Body from 1 to 6 years: Drive,<br />
Phantasy, Emergence.”<br />
International speakers from a variety<br />
of schools of depth psychology were<br />
present, including <strong>Jungian</strong>, Lacanian,<br />
Winnicottian, and Kleinian<br />
representatives. Hester Solomon, IAAP<br />
President, gave the opening address, and Daniel Stern presented a keynote address.<br />
Over 400 persons attended the Congress and the interchange between the various<br />
schools of depth psychology was both informative and very collegial. Caterian Vezzoli,<br />
Francesco Bisagni and Nadia Fina are planning a second Inter-School Forum for next<br />

<strong>The</strong> multicultural aspect of analytical psychology with its tolerance for theoretical<br />
diversity has allowed the IAAP to continue to grow and thrive in 2008. It has been a<br />
great pleasure for me to serve as the Honorary Secretary this past year and I am<br />
looking forward with gratitude to serving my IAAP colleagues again in the coming<br />
year.<br />

THE PUBLICATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>new</strong> editor for the Newsletter, Emilija Kiehl was appointed in 2008 and she is<br />
already hard at work preparing for the <strong>28</strong> th Newsletter which will be produced in<br />
hardcopy in 2010.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 27 th IAAP Newsletter went online on the 24th March 2008. Thanks to the hard<br />
work of the reporters, of our webmaster Don Williams and of the members of the subcommittee,<br />
the report is both lively and graphically interesting. Unfortunately, our<br />
members still seem to have difficulty in making full use of the on-line Newsletter as<br />
to date, there have been 111 downloads of the Newsletter 27 Society reports, 48 of<br />
the committee reports and 48 of the complete Newsletter. This is still not satisfactory<br />
although it is an improvement on results for the Newsletter 26 and the subcommittee<br />
are looking into ways to make the Newsletter more attractive to our<br />
members . It should however be born in mind that various <strong>society</strong> libraries have<br />
downloaded the Newsletter, giving members the possibility to consult a hardcopy<br />
version.<br />
Membership List<br />
Don Williams and Lucian Apostol have updated the membership list for this year and<br />
are working on the software to facilitate the use of the directory. Each member with<br />
e-mail was sent their username for the Database/Directory and with their username<br />
they can have a temporary password issued to them via e-mail. This took a strategy<br />
session between Don and Lucian first and then Lucian’s programming and the result is<br />
rather satisfactory. Lucian can now use most of the code he wrote to do the same<br />
with the username on file for the IAAP website.<br />
As long as everyone has their website username and current e-mail address, they can<br />
request an automatic temporary password, then logon, and then update their<br />
password to one of their choice. However, the individual’s e-mail address at the<br />
website will have to be an active one used by the analyst. If the e-mail is out of date,<br />
they’ll have to contact Don and he will update their e-mail address – and probably<br />
issue a temporary password at the same time to make it easier for them.<br />
Cape Town Proceedings<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cape Town Proceedings will be published by Bob Hinshaw of Daimon Verlag.<br />
Pramila Bennett, the Proceedings editor has now collected all the papers and is in<br />
the process of finishing the necessary editing. She estimates that the manuscript<br />
should be ready for the publishers by January. <strong>The</strong> final book and CD will be<br />
approximately the same size as the Barcelona Proceedings which will allow us to keep<br />
our costs within reason.<br />

Website<br />
After the tragic crash it was decided to make use of this occasion to improve the<br />
whole layout of the website to make it more attractive and user friendly. Don<br />
Williams with the help of Francois Martin-Vallas has been working very hard on the<br />
design, graphics and software for the <strong>new</strong> home page of the website <strong>The</strong> <strong>new</strong> banner<br />
with the IAAP logo is now in use and the <strong>new</strong> home page is ready and will be posted<br />
after the next EC meeting in Montreal in February 2009. Once this is up, Don Williams<br />
and Lucian Apostol and the sub-committee will be working on the other pages of the<br />
website.<br />
Don Williams and Angela Connolly worked over August to set up a special obituary<br />
page for Adolf Guggenbühl-Craig. This is the first time that the website has been used<br />
for this purpose and the final result was very satisfactory.<br />
Don Williams has also worked with Joe Cambray and Karen Hodges to set up a special<br />
area on the website dedicated to the China Earthquake Relief Fund and to create the<br />
possibility of making donations through PayPal link.<br />
As time goes on the embers are making more and more use of the website. <strong>The</strong><br />
greatest interest shown has been for the various calls for papers: there have been 399<br />
clicks on the English version of the Call for Papers for the Montreal Congress, 293 on<br />
the Italian version, 274 on the German, 266 on the Spanish and 246 on the French,<br />
while 316 members have clicked on the Vilnius Call for Papers and 348 have clicked on<br />
the Chinese Conference.<br />
Don Williams and the sub-committee have also been looking into the possibility of<br />
sending out an e-<strong><strong>new</strong>sletter</strong> each month with information about what’s available or<br />
<strong>new</strong> or especially valuable at the website. <strong>The</strong> e-<strong><strong>new</strong>sletter</strong> would include<br />
periodically instructions on acquiring lost or forgotten passwords, on the value of<br />
logging in (you see sections & files that were hidden before), on documents such as<br />
the Newsletter that are available for download. <strong>The</strong> idea of a e-<strong><strong>new</strong>sletter</strong> that is<br />
attractive and very brief and informative, may be one way to attract more people<br />
into using the website, sooner than they might otherwise do.<br />
Video Technology<br />
Don Williams has been exploring cheaper solutions to video conferencing in order to<br />
facilitate communication among our members.<br />
While Skype doesn’t allow more than 2 people in their video conferencing, there is<br />
now a <strong>new</strong> application called “ooVoo” (www.oovoo.com) that produces much better<br />
video and can handle a 6 person video conference with 6 different screens. To work<br />
properly at its optimum level it does need the <strong>new</strong>er “dual core Intel” processor<br />
which most <strong>new</strong> computers have had for the past 1-2 years. And more system<br />
pg. 13
memory is better, more speed. <strong>The</strong> only other things needed are a good webcam and<br />
the best for this use is the Logitech Quickcam 9000 (about $95) and a headset<br />
(Logitech again is probably the best choice for a good headset). Don Williams has<br />
been experimenting with it and finds it impressive; It’s also possible to record a<br />
session (video and audio) with all screens and save it in a flash file (“flv” file<br />
extension) and these are much smaller than the usual mp3 or mp4 files.<br />

INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Individual Membership Sub-Committee has a double function. As its name<br />
suggests, on the one hand, it provides containment for the Individual Members and<br />
functions as their official link to the IAAP, much like an IAAP Society. It is the<br />
responsibility of this sub-committee to ensure that the Individual Members are<br />
represented as a group at the Delegates’ Meeting and that their voice be counted<br />
among the delegates. On the other hand, it also responsible for managing the<br />
screening interviews as well as the intermediate and final exams for the Routers.<br />
Routers are professionals who are working, en route, if you like, to become members<br />
of the IAAP but who live in a country with no IAAP training <strong>society</strong> and often with<br />
limited resources for <strong>Jungian</strong> analysis or supervision. <strong>The</strong> IAAP provides financial<br />
support for these professionals to pursue their desire to become analytical<br />
psychologists.<br />
With respect to this second function, the Individual Membership Sub-Committee has<br />
had another very active year in 2008. A total of eleven Routers from countries<br />
including the Czech Republic (1), Ireland (1), Serbia (1), and Russia (8) successfully<br />
completed the final exam. After ratification of the exam results by the Executive<br />
Committee of the IAAP, these Routers will become Provisional Members. Routers who<br />
complete the final exam can only become full members of the IAAP after a vote of<br />
the delegates to accept them into membership at the Delegates’ Meeting of the<br />
International Congress in Montreal in 2010. In the interim, they are considered<br />
Provisional Members and as such they must agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of<br />
the IAAP; they do not pay IAAP dues and are not listed on the IAAP Analyst Database<br />
on the website.<br />
Twelve intermediate exams with Routers from the Czech Republic, India, Serbia and<br />
Russia and Poland were also given. Of these, ten Routers passed the exam and two<br />
were unsuccessful.<br />
A total of 55 screening interviews were given in 2008 of which 52 applicants were<br />
recommended for acceptance as Routers. Upon ratification by the Executive<br />
Committee, these successful applicants will officially become Routers of the IAAP.<br />
2008 was a year where screening interviews were held for the first time in four<br />
different countries: Colombia, Georgia, Slovenia and Ukraine. In May, Angela<br />
Connolly and Catherine Crowther travelled to Slovenia for the first set of screening<br />
interviews in that country. Both interviewing analysts were impressed with the five<br />
applicants and recommended they be accepted. In July, John Hill and Christian<br />
Gaillard held screening interviews in Georgia and then in the Ukraine. In Tbilisi, five<br />
and in Kiev nine applicants were interviewed and recommended for acceptance.<br />
In November, Luigi Zoja and Eva Pattis held seven screening interviews for applicants<br />
in Colombia. All seven were recommended for acceptance as Routers. <strong>The</strong> work in<br />
pg. 15
Colombia is quite impressive and offers an inspiring example of how some of the funds<br />
provided by the IAAP make it possible for analysts from Venezuela to visit Colombia<br />
on a regular basis to offer both personal analysis and supervision to the Routers there.<br />
In addition, applicants from the following countries have also been recommended for<br />
acceptance following a screening interview in the past year: four from the Czech<br />
Republic, one from Estonia, six from Lithuania, one from Poland, fifteen from Russia<br />
and two from South Africa.<br />
<strong>The</strong> activity of this sub-committee in the past year reflects the ever growing and<br />
vibrant interest in Jung and analytical psychology around the world. <strong>The</strong> path a<br />
Router must follow is inevitably arduous and demanding. While dedication,<br />
perseverance and patience are essential, they are no guarantee of success. <strong>The</strong><br />
gratitude the Routers express for the opportunity of pursuing their dream of becoming<br />
a member of the IAAP is very moving. I share this with you in this report because it is<br />
important to recognize that each member of the IAAP contributes to the realization of<br />
these dreams through the funds allocated to these projects in the yearly budget of<br />
the IAAP. This in turn helps the IAAP and its membership remain a lively<br />
international association actively engaged in bringing analytical psychology to those<br />
for whom it would otherwise be impossible and inaccessible.<br />

DEVELOPING GROUP SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT<br />
To remind readers, the aims of Developing Groups are to:<br />
a) Permit the development of analytical psychology in areas of the world<br />
where people express interest and have few of their own resources<br />
b) To encourage and facilitate the dissemination of <strong>Jungian</strong> and post-<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> ideas in those areas<br />
c) To help set up structures in which professionals in these countries may<br />
undertake a training in analytical psychology, called the Individual Membership<br />
route<br />
d) To allow for the development of groups of professionals who will<br />
ultimately form <strong>new</strong> IAAP Societies and in time, Training Societies.<br />
<strong>The</strong> procedures for applying to become Developing Groups were put in place during<br />
Murray Stein’s presidency and since that time, there have been applications from<br />
many countries. <strong>The</strong>re are now almost 20 Developing Groups:<br />
Bulgaria (Sofia)<br />
Chile (Santiago)<br />
China (Guangzhou/Shanghai)<br />
China (Hong Kong)<br />
Colombia (Bogota)<br />
Czech Republic (Brno/Prague)<br />
Ecuador (Quito)<br />
Estonia (Tallinn)<br />
Georgia (Tbilissi)<br />
India (Ahmedabad, Bangalore)<br />
Ireland (Dublin)<br />
Poland (Katowice / Krakow / Warszawa / Wroclaw)<br />
Romania (Bucharest)<br />
Russia (Moscow)<br />
Russia (St. Petersburg)<br />
Serbia (Belgrade)<br />
Slovenia (Ljubljana)<br />
South Africa (Gauteng)<br />
Tunisia (Tunis)<br />
Ukraine (Kiev)<br />
Each DG receives a budget, agreed upon by the IAAP Executive Committee, after<br />
careful evaluation of individual needs and stages of development. Last year, there<br />
was some overspend in a number of countries but this year, thanks to careful<br />
monitoring by Mr Gubser, the IAAP accountant, in the form of regular budget<br />
statements each time a claim is made, this has been rectified.<br />
pg. 17
<strong>The</strong>re have been recent applications to become <strong>new</strong> Developing Groups from Malta,<br />
Taiwan and Shanghai and there is likely to be one from Kazakhstan in the near future.<br />
<strong>The</strong> IAAP Executive Committee authorises site visits to those cities/countries who<br />
request one, to learn more about the place, the professionals and their interest in<br />
analytical psychology, before making recommendations that professionals put in an<br />
application to become a DG, should they wish to do so. In cities where for cultural<br />
and/or political reasons a Developing Group is not a good idea, programmes of clinical<br />
supervision have been set up. This has happened very successfully in Moscow for the<br />
past 7 years and will probably also happen in the future in Krasnodar, Russia.<br />
Details about the programmes in place in each of these different Developing Groups<br />
may be found in other sections of the IAAP Newsletter.<br />
It seems to us that Developing Groups with committed, involved liaisons generally<br />
function very well. <strong>The</strong> most effective liaisons are those who can ‘hold’ the group<br />
through their personal interest, skills and motivation to become involved and their<br />
willingness to raise money for the work of the group, enable their groups to function<br />
well and to move forward in their development smoothly and more quickly. Russia,<br />
Tbilissi and Kiev are good examples of partnerships between a DG and an existing<br />
Society or Societies. Members of all four Training Societies in the UK work in Moscow<br />
and St. Petersburg, our Swiss colleagues and our French colleagues are developing an<br />
interest in the DG in Tbilissi. <strong>The</strong> SFPA in France is further developing its existing<br />
partnership with Tunisia; San Francisco with Taiwan and Israel with Krasnodar in<br />
Russia. We hope very much that other similar partnerships will develop in years to<br />
come.<br />
Once DGs are formed, it is usually the case that a considerable number of its<br />
members wish to follow the Individual Membership route of the IAAP to become<br />
internationally recognised <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts. At this point, they are likely to make<br />
contact with the Chair of the Individual Membership Sub-Committee for information<br />
about prerequisites to become a ‘router’ and essential training requirements<br />
including hours of personal analysis, areas of study and number of hours in<br />
supervision.<br />

FUND RAISING SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fund-Raising Sub-Committee is composed of John Beebe, Adam Frey, Christian<br />
Gaillard, Gert Sauer, Rodtraud Sauer, Beverley Zabriskie and Tom Kelly as chair.<br />
In the past year, the committee members have worked well together to consider how<br />
to raise funds for projects supported by the IAAP. <strong>The</strong> Committee has become<br />
involved in a number of different initiatives. One of these, the China Relief Project,<br />
grew out of Heyong Shen’s presentation at the IAJS – IAAP Conference in Zürich in July<br />
on the relief work to the traumatized victims of the earthquake in Sichuan province in<br />
China. Following this presentation, people spontaneously offered to donate funds to<br />
support the work being done by Heyong Shen, his students, Routers and members of<br />
the DG in Guangzhou. This spontaneous gesture sprouted the idea of extending the<br />
possibility of donating to this worthy project to the membership of the IAAP as a<br />
statement of care, support and solidarity.<br />
A request for donations was sent to all members of the IAAP accompanied with a<br />
letter from Heyong Shen explaining the services he and his team were providing on<br />
site in the devastated earthquake zone. Photos of his team at work were also<br />
included. This appeal for funds was accompanied by a very personal and moving<br />
report from Luigi Zoja and Eva Pattis who had visited the quake area and provided<br />
emotional support and supervision to the team members working with these<br />
traumatized people. A letter from Hester Solomon, President of the IAAP, and from<br />
Joe Cambray, Chair of the DG Sub-Committee and Tom Kelly, on behalf of the Fund<br />
Raising Sub-Committee was also included in the email message sent to the<br />
membership.<br />
In order to facilitate donations and to provide tax receipts for American donors, Joe<br />
Cambray and Tom Kelly worked with the Foundation C.G. Jung Institutes for Alumni,<br />
Supporters and Friends in North Carolina to set up a PayPal account so that donations<br />
destined for the China earthquake relief program could be made directly through the<br />
internet. In addition, these letters and reports were posted on the IAAP website and<br />
a hyperlink to the website for the Foundation C. G. Jung Institutes was added to the<br />
website.<br />
It should be noted that the Foundation C.G. Jung Institutes for Alumni, Supporters and<br />
Friends is especially suited for donations from our North American colleagues. This<br />
Foundation is recognized as a charitable organization and has a 501(c) (3) status<br />
which renders all donations tax deductible. Because of the service charges involved<br />
for donations from outside the US, colleagues from elsewhere should be encouraged<br />
to make donations by credit card payment through the IAAP secretariat by contacting<br />
Yvonne Trueb at iaap@swissonline.ch. <strong>The</strong> money saved on the service charges will<br />
increase the amount of the donation available for the project.<br />
pg. 19
Donations for the China Relief Project have come from Brazil, Korea, the United<br />
Kingdom and the United States. In the 2009, efforts will be made to raise more funds<br />
to support the on-going work of this group in Sichuan.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second fund-raising initiative was the result of the work of John Hill, Liaison<br />
Person for Georgia, who sent an email requesting donations to help finance work<br />
being done with the Routers from that country. While the response to this request<br />
has been most impressive, the need remains great so that any donations made to help<br />
this group will be greatly appreciated.<br />
Similarly, Christian Gaillard, Liaison Person for Ukraine, succeeded in raising funds for<br />
work with the Routers and members of the Developing Group in Kiev. Here too the<br />
needs remain great.<br />
In the current climate of economic uncertainty, donations are often the first place<br />
people choose to reduce. It is precisely at such times however that we need to<br />
remain mindful of those with less resources and opportunities and to recall that no<br />
donation is too small. On behalf of the Committee, I would like to extend our thanks<br />
to those who have so generously supported these initiatives in the past year and to<br />
encourage everyone to consider donating to one of these worthy causes. In the words<br />
of the American poet, Walt Whitman, “<strong>The</strong> gift is to the giver and comes back more<br />
to him”.<br />

Established in 2001, the Committee is mandated to foster education on ethical issues;<br />
provide consultation to the IAAP Executive Committee and Member Groups on ethical<br />
matters; and to hear complaints against Individual Members and Routers in training to<br />
become Individual Members. Additionally, the Committee considers complaints<br />
against Member Groups involving allegations that the Group has not followed its own<br />
Ethics’ Procedures.<br />
This term, the Committee has provided the Routers with an extensive bibliography of<br />
materials related to ethics. We are also planning an educational program for the 2010<br />
Congress in Montreal.<br />
Consultation has been provided to the Executive Committee and to its various Working<br />
Groups, and a number of Ethics Codes for <strong>new</strong>ly applying Groups have been reviewed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Committee has also informally consulted with several individuals concerning<br />
specific ethical matters, and stands ready to receive formal complaints brought<br />
before it.<br />

SOCIETY APPLICATIONS SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Society Applications Subcommittee has been reviewing applications we have received to<br />
establish <strong>new</strong> Societies. This involves looking at constitutions and by-laws, to make sure<br />
they are consistent and that they conform to Swiss law. <strong>The</strong> CV’s of the prospective members<br />
need to address the issues set up in our Protocol. We are also checking as to whether there<br />
are the required number of members in the <strong>new</strong> Societies (the required number is also<br />
specified in the Protocol). We review the <strong>new</strong> Societies’ founding statements, and send their<br />
ethics codes to the IAAP Ethics Committee. That Committee reviews the codes to insure that<br />
they conform to IAAP Minimal Ethics Standards.<br />
If there are Societies that exist in countries where <strong>new</strong> Societies are applying for<br />
membership, the existing Societies are invited to submit a Letter of Opinion, should they<br />
wish. Presently, if there are conflicts that arise about which we need additional information,<br />
the Executive Committee will then have a Committee of Inquiry gather more information.<br />
Once we have all the data we need to make a recommendation about whether or not to<br />
accept the <strong>new</strong> applying Society, the Subcommittee will then make a recommendation to the<br />
Executive Committee. <strong>The</strong> final recommendation will be brought to the Congress in Montreal<br />
in 2010 for a vote.<br />
In addition, we are reviewing our protocol, and revising it as we discover problems from our<br />
experiences with the applications. Further, we are looking at larger issues that have been<br />
raised in the light of our various experiences on the Subcommittee.<br />

THE MEDIATION WORKING PARTY REPORT<br />
Over the past several years, the IAAP has seen that a number of our Constituent<br />
Societies have been struggling with conflicts within their groups. This has been a<br />
matter of concern to the Executive Committee, and it has seemed that some of these<br />
difficulties might have been resolved, had there been an opportunity to do so at an<br />
earlier state. It was thus suggested that thought be given as to how a structure could<br />
be developed that would aid Constituent Societies in resolving conflicts that may arise<br />
in their groups.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mediation Working Party has been set up in order to develop such a structure.<br />
We hope that structure will promote a meaningful dialogue between the parties when<br />
conflict occurs. This structure might either lead to a resolution of these differences<br />
or help the parties to the conflict separate with more consciousness and less<br />
destructive energy.<br />
At present, the Mediation Working Part is in the process of assembling a list of<br />
potential mediators from within our IAAP membership. <strong>The</strong> idea is that Constituent<br />
Societies can then draw from this list, should they desire mediation. A<br />
questionnaire, which aims to help put a mediation structure in place is also being<br />
worked on.<br />

CONGRESS PROGRAM COMMITTEE REPORT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Program Committee for the Montreal Congress is composed of the Officers of the<br />
IAAP and representatives of five IAAP Constituent Societies. This committee reflects<br />
the international character of the IAAP and includes the following members: Hester<br />
Solomon, President IAAP, Joe Cambray, President-Elect, Joerg Rasche, Vice-<br />
President, Paul Kugler, Honorary Secretary, Axel Caprile (SVAJ), Grazia Cerbo (AIPA),<br />
Kusum Dhar Prabhu (AGAP), Francois Martin-Vallas (SFPA), Judith Pickering (ANZSJA)<br />
and Tom Kelly, Vice President, as Chair.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Program Committee met for the first time in Zürich in February, 2008, in order to<br />
establish the theme of the next IAAP Congress. It was perhaps when we gathered<br />
together in person for the first time that the enormity of the task that lay ahead<br />
became evident. In a one day brain storming session, we were to come up with a<br />
topic that would reflect the interests of our colleagues around the world and catch a<br />
flavour of the current zeitgeist in such a way as to excite and stimulate our<br />
membership to address this topic. <strong>The</strong>re was a strong desire to make the Congress<br />
accessible to everyone starting with a theme that would resonate widely and create<br />
interest and enthusiasm. Anyone familiar with group dynamics will understand that<br />
the more we spoke about our fantasies, wishes and desires for the Congress, the more<br />
the enormity of the task made itself felt and, the more anxiety began to creep in,<br />
especially since we had but one day to achieve our goal. As we broke for lunch, there<br />
was a thoughtful and reflective containment of everything that had been discussed<br />
during our morning discussion flavoured with a tinge of anxiety.<br />
Anxiety and excitement are feelings that are closely connected. In the afternoon<br />
session, in the collegiality of our discussions, there was a gradual tipping of the scales<br />
from anxiety to excitement as our creative energies began to emerge and flow<br />
playfully with ideas of all sorts. Gradually, an idea began to take shape having to do<br />
with the multiple nature of the self and how this multiple nature expresses itself not<br />
only in psyche but also in nature and culture. <strong>The</strong>n, after several attempts at<br />
formulating correctly what was beginning to come to the surface, the theme for the<br />
next Congress became clear: Facing Multiplicity: Psyche Nature Culture.<br />
At that point, the surge of creative energy was so powerful that the logo for the<br />
Congress also became clear. <strong>The</strong> image of the Armillary Sphere, from the artist Anca<br />
Colbert, familiar to us from the cover of the IAAP Newsletter, with a sphere composed<br />
of seven circles divided into both light and dark, and impacted by the twelve winds<br />
depicted by clouds, based on a woodcut by Albrecht Dürer dating from 1525,<br />
captured, we felt, the theme of multiplicity. <strong>The</strong> twelve winds correspond to the<br />
twelve points on the compass, which encircle the globe in the fashion of the IAAP.<br />
<strong>The</strong> interplay of the twelve winds upon each other and upon the whole reflected well<br />
the dynamic aspect related to the theme of the Congress.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Call for Participation, with the deadline of Oct. 31 st , 2008, was sent by email on<br />
May 9 th , 2008, followed by a post card, sent by ground post to ensure that all<br />
members of the IAAP, including those without email, would received the invitation to<br />
submit proposals for consideration by the Program Committee. <strong>The</strong> deadline for<br />
proposals was eventually extended to Nov. 30 th , 2008.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Program Committee received 290 proposals for consideration after the extended<br />
deadline. <strong>The</strong> proposals represent 43 IAAP Societies from 6 continents including,<br />
North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. <strong>The</strong> vast majority<br />
of the proposals are for presentations in English, but Italian, French, Spanish, and<br />
German are also well represented. <strong>The</strong> proposals cover a wide spectrum of interests<br />
and formats, including lecture presentations, workshops, and film presentations.<br />
In February, the Program Committee will meet in Montreal for two intensive days to<br />
review each proposal. <strong>The</strong> work of the PC promises to be both challenging and<br />
creative as we begin to sculpt the program for the Montreal Congress from the many<br />
innovative proposals. <strong>The</strong> building blocks that the Program Committee has available<br />
in the numerous proposals augers well for the Congress to be an exciting array of<br />
cutting edge presentations reflecting the multiplicity of our membership from around<br />
the world. We look forward to sharing the fruits of our labour in February with you<br />
and to presenting you with a great program for the Congress in Montreal in August<br />
2010.<br />

IAAP NEWSLETTER <strong>28</strong><br />
AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (ANZSJA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> most vital work analysts undertake remains hidden from public view. It is the<br />
extracurricular public activities of our members that form the content of IAAP<br />
reports from societies. Yet it is important to bear in mind the secret, painstaking and<br />
patient work of the consulting room and all our ‘quiet achievers’ while reporting on<br />
our more public activities.<br />
A striking quality of the extramural activities of members of ANZSJA is its multiplicity<br />
and diversity. Across two continents our analysts engage in a variety of applications of<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> thought. From the ongoing development of a <strong>Jungian</strong> training model utilising<br />
indigenous Australian and New Zealand metaphors, work with refugees and survivors<br />
of trauma, indigenous psychotherapy, the interface between spirituality and<br />
psychotherapy, environmental and political concerns, art therapy, film, sandplay,<br />
neuroscience, music to olive farming!<br />
Analysts, as with other health practitioners, are often the first to see the effects of<br />
traumatic individual relationships, natural disasters and human rights abuses. ANZSJA<br />
members such as Anne Noonan, Craig San Roque and Leon Petchkovsky, in addition to<br />
their clinical practice, also work with Indigenous Australians, as Anne Noonan writes,<br />
‘bearing witness to the toxicity of colonization and its ongoing traumas in mental<br />
health substance abuse and indiscriminate legal enforcement’. Anne Noonan is also<br />
involved with helping West Papuan political refugees from Indonesia. She writes, ‘<strong>The</strong><br />
human rights abuses in West Papua include up to 15 years incarceration for peacefully<br />
raising their flag. <strong>The</strong> Jung Society of Sydney invited a Papuan anthropologist to give a<br />
lecture on the symbolic significance of the Morning Star flag which has an enormous<br />
uniting symbolism for the West Papuans.’<br />
Wishing to make a psychological contribution to the debates surrounding climate<br />
change, the Sydney Jung Society has commissioned several ANZSJA analysts to<br />
compile a book on climate change, looking at the local region and the sinking Pacific<br />
Islands and responding to the dreams of our patients which are increasingly featuring<br />
cosmic dust storms, drought-ridden wildernesses, dried-up lakes, which are<br />
symptomatic of deep concern at the collective as well as personal level.<br />
Glenda Cloughley uses the medium of voice to address climate change, composing<br />
for Canberra's A Chorus of Women who, like the Greek Chorus, serve the community’s<br />
conscience by musical commentary. Glenda's current project, <strong>The</strong> Gifts of the<br />
pg. 26
Furies, retells <strong>The</strong> Oresteia of Aeschylus in response to some social and ethical<br />
challenges of climate change (see www.chorusofwomen.org).<br />
Responding to the urgent importance of coming to terms with trauma among<br />
indigenous communities, Leon Petchkovsky, president of ANZSJA, invited Professor<br />
Judy Atkinson, Director of the Gnibi College of Indigenous Peoples at Southern Cross<br />
University in Lismore, NSW, to present the annual Peter Reid Memorial lecture at the<br />
ANZSJA AGM in June, 2008. Judy's heritage derives from the Jiman people of the<br />
Upper Dawson in Central West Queensland, and the Bundjalung of Northern NSW. She<br />
has focused most of her community and academic life working in the field of violence,<br />
trauma and healing. Her paper was poignant and confronting.<br />
Leon Petchkovsky and his team are continuing their ground breaking work on the<br />
fMRIs of psychological complexes, and preparing material to publish in international<br />
neurosciences journals.<br />
ANZSJA members are notable for a spirit of psychological ecumenism, engaging in<br />
dialogue with other schools of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. This has led to<br />
many conferences, events, book launches and publications, such as the proceedings<br />
(available on-line at www.anzsja.org.au) of <strong>The</strong> Uses of Subjective Experience, a<br />
weekend of conversations between academics and analysts who engage with <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
ideas.<br />
In May 2008, a cross-disciplinary book was launched at Gleebooks featuring the work<br />
of psychoanalysts, historians, novelists and ANZSJA analysts such as Craig San Roque.<br />
Geography of Meanings arose out of a conference at Uluru hosted by the Australian<br />
Psychoanalytic Society, a meeting which sought to ‘understand the psychological<br />
mysteries of land, space, native cultures, changing eras, and geographical<br />
dislocation.’<br />
ANZSJA analysts have been enriched by exchange of ideas at overseas conferences:<br />
several members attended the JAP conference in Orta, Italy in May where Sue Austin<br />
presented a seminal plenary paper (to be published in the JAP in 2009) titled ‘A<br />
perspective on the patterns of loss, lack, disappointment and shame encountered in<br />
the treatment of six women with severe and chronic anorexia nervosa’. Judith<br />
Pickering gave a paper on the ethics of alterity, ‘When the Other within meets the<br />
Other without, both are transformed’. <strong>The</strong>re was also a book launch of Judith’s Being<br />
in Love.<br />
Andre Zanardo gave a paper in San Francisco to the Art and Psyche conference<br />
entitled ‘Toward an Expanded Definition of Art, as Emergent from within Post<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> Analytic Relations’. Amanda Dowd presented a paper ‘Whose Mind am I in?<br />
Cultural Amnesia and Cultural Complexity: the interpenetrating mix-up of migrant<br />
experience, trauma, country and the transformation of identity’ at the Third<br />
Multidisciplinary Academic Conference of the IAAP and the Second Joint Conference<br />
with the IAJS, in Zürich, July 3-5, 2008.<br />
pg. 27
In August 2008 a group of psychoanalysts, philosophers, theologians and <strong>Jungian</strong>s held<br />
a lively Symposium on Being in Love to celebrate the publication of Judith Pickering’s<br />
Being in Love: <strong>The</strong>rapeutic pathways through psychological obstacles to love. It was<br />
another meeting of many schools of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in Sydney, with<br />
Neville Symington and Giles Clark, being among the main speakers.<br />
Another area of fruitful consultation with other psychotherapy organizations is<br />
ANZSJA involvement in PACFA, <strong>The</strong> Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of<br />
Australia, which has 37 member associations which meet standards developed by<br />
consensus as appropriate for professional practitioners within the disciplines of<br />
Counselling and Psychotherapy in the Australian community.<br />
In New Zealand the fruits of dialogues between NZAP, NZACAP, ANZSJA, other bodies<br />
and Government has led to the appointment in New Zealand, by the Minister of<br />
Health, of a regulatory authority for psychotherapy: <strong>The</strong> Aotearoa New Zealand<br />
Psychotherapists Board. ANZSJA has been part of the consultation process leading to<br />
the registration of psychotherapists in New Zealand and is likely to continue to play<br />
an important role in assessment for registration as well as consultations on ethics and<br />
competencies. Among the appointees to this Board was ANZSJA member Dr Chris<br />
Milton.<br />
Also in New Zealand Allan Bloore and Joy Ryan-Bloore continue to address the<br />
interface between <strong>Jungian</strong> Psychology and Spirituality with workshops and ecumenical<br />
retreats.<br />
Susan Pollard reports on how a weekend on myth, fairytale and ritual in Adelaide was<br />
given a special contemporary indigenous flavor with Kaurna Aboriginal elder, Dr Alitya<br />
Rigney, sharing her Northern Territory Dreaming stories.<br />
In Perth in 2009 André de Koning will be presenting a series of professional<br />
development seminars starting with a conference in January entitled ‘<strong>The</strong> Fenceless<br />
Field (Freud, Jung, Klein, Bion etc.)’, the idea being that various colleagues from<br />
different schools can present their work.<br />
In Sydney, Margaret Caulfield, co-director of training, reports that the ANZJA model<br />
of Songlines and Haerenga reflects travel and movement embedded in the nature of<br />
culture. This <strong>new</strong> rhythm for ANZSJA Training views ‘distance as related to the<br />
richness of diversity, otherness and movement, understanding it to be an experience<br />
that can connect us with the authentic psyche of place, inner and outer.’<br />
ANZSJA has ongoing commitment to hosting professional development seminars, and<br />
in 2009 will run several across Australia on topics such as Symbolisation and the<br />
Structure of the Unconscious, <strong>The</strong> Nature of <strong>The</strong> Psyche and Processes of<br />
<strong>The</strong>rapeutic Change and <strong>The</strong> Personal and Collective Psyche - <strong>The</strong>rapy as a Process<br />
of Individuation. Warren Colman, senior training analyst at the Society for Analytical<br />
pg. <strong>28</strong>
Psychology in London and co-editor of the Journal of Analytical Psychology, will be<br />
running professional development events on the Self for ANZSJA in Sydney and<br />
Melbourne in August 2009.<br />
ANZSJA also looks forward to honoring one of our most venerable members in June<br />
2009: Wilson Daniel, on the occasion of his 80 th Birthday, at our annual meeting to be<br />
held in Christchurch, New Zealand. Wilson is another ANZSJA analyst to epitomize<br />
breadth of learning, with backgrounds in teaching, music, classics, modern languages,<br />
law, theology, psychology and psychotherapy. He has been a formative member of our<br />
organization, being the first Convener of Training and in recent years being<br />
responsible for the revision of our Constitution.<br />
Many traditions hold that the key to a fulfilling life is balance, and one of our<br />
analysts has found a ‘cross-fertilizing’ adjunct to analytic work in olive farming! Peter<br />
Fullerton reports that ‘I am continuing to find the time spent on the cycle of<br />
cultivating, harvesting and pressing our olive oil a most rewarding counterpoint to the<br />
demands and pleasures of my analytic practice.’<br />
In short, ANZSJA is a robust <strong>society</strong> which celebrates its rich diversity, breadth,<br />
depth and creative dialogue both within its walls and with other schools and areas of<br />
concern.<br />

BELGIAN SCHOOL FOR JUNGIAN PSYCHOANALYSIS (BSJP)<br />
Gresham’s Law<br />
‘Bad money drives out the good.’ This empirical conclusion was drawn by Sir Thomas<br />
Gresham in the 16th century: when two currencies are in circulation, the economic<br />
agents spare the ‘good’ one, and don’t use the ‘bad’ one anymore, which leads to an<br />
accumulation of circulating bad money – and a disappearance of the good currency.<br />
I have been wondering whether this law doesn’t apply to psychoanalysis as well. I<br />
don’t mean that psychoanalysts would be inclined to keep their theoretical knowledge<br />
to themselves, or to administer inferior treatments to their patients.<br />
pg. 30
Still we can make some empirical observations. Our clientele is evolving: we see more<br />
and more analysands in a face to face setting, since their personality structure isn’t<br />
solid enough to sustain the deprivation of the couch. <strong>The</strong>ory has evolved as well. One<br />
of us quoted, in last year’s Newsletter: “Society, at least in our country, has changed:<br />
people, associations, enterprises and political leaders want to be covered against any<br />
risk and distrust is prevailing. We get more and more ‘mcdonaldised’: efficiency,<br />
measurability, predictability and control have sway over the management, and …<br />
‘more is better’. People and institutions get more and more one-dimensional, and this<br />
affects scientific thinking as well.”(1) Potential patients expect prompt solutions to<br />
their ailment, and the perspective of a long and painstaking therapy frightens them.<br />
Quick forms of psychotherapy, following simple instructions and yielding quick results<br />
– evidence based! – and medicinal treatments tend to supplant the analytical<br />
approach.<br />
For us, ‘good’ psychoanalysis does not reduce psychic functioning to a single theory or<br />
technique. This is the main reason why we call ourselves <strong>Jungian</strong> psychoanalysts:<br />
didn’t C.G. Jung resist reductionism in all its forms? Analysts need to have a plurality<br />
of theories at their disposal in order to grasp the complexity of the psyche. This is not<br />
to facilitate the task of our training members. <strong>The</strong> B.S.J.P. is a very small school,<br />
and many of our members reached the age of 65, which is the age of retirement in<br />
Belgium. <strong>The</strong>y want to reduce their activities. This puts a heavy burden on the<br />
following generation. So we are struggling, well aware of the fact that we have to sail<br />
upstream with regard to the prevailing tendencies in <strong>society</strong>.<br />
We would like to reiterate our doubts about this Newsletter once more. Last year we<br />
offered subject matter for an ideological debate; we did not receive one single<br />
reaction. We also asked the possible readers to send us an e-mail in order to inform us<br />
of the fact that they did read our contribution to the end. We even playfully offered a<br />
prize for those who would make this little effort. Once again: no single reaction!<br />
This leaves us with the question: is our (very doubtful) narcissistic gratification the<br />
only motive for drawing up this contribution?<br />

ASSOCIAÇÃO JUNGUIANA DO BRASIL (AJB)<br />
AJB — Associação Junguiana do Brasil — is now composed of 6 Institutes, responsible<br />
for the Association’s activities in different regions of the country. One of them, the<br />
Rio de Janeiro Jung Institute, was responsible for organizing and sponsoring, in<br />
September 2008, the association’s XVI International Congress, our main annual event<br />
when the member analysts from all Institutes get together. <strong>The</strong> event is also open to<br />
the public in general, people interested in <strong>Jungian</strong> psychology as well as the AJB.<br />
We gathered in the beautiful and traditional Glória Hotel, overlooking the splendid<br />
landscape of the Flamengo Park, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, to discuss the current<br />
environmental problems and their important impact for the psyche, individual and<br />
collective, as the theme proposed for our event was precisely “Gaia, Individuation<br />
and Society”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> opening ceremony was conducted by the President of the Association, Dr. Joel<br />
Giglio and was followed by a brilliant lecture from Dr. Walter Boechat. Dr Boechat is<br />
the current President of the Rio de Janeiro Institute, a founding member of the AJB<br />
and at present is a member of the Executive Committee of the IAAP.<br />
We also had as an international special guest, Dr. Luigi Zoja, who gave us a wonderful<br />
lecture on the relations between our contemporary world of media and show and the<br />
atrocities of the time of the Roman Circus. Dr. Zoja attempted to think about the<br />
emptying out of affects and the falsification of feelings we experience nowadays with<br />
reflections around the persona and its impact in the human soul.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dear presence of Dr. Leonardo Boff — known all over the world as the creator of<br />
the <strong>The</strong>ology of Liberation Movement in South America Catholic Church, and<br />
responsible for initiating the translation of the first volumes of the Collected Works of<br />
C. G. Jung in Brazil — also brought insights and made us all think harder about the<br />
planetary crisis with eco-psychological reflections as profound as his understanding of<br />
Analytical Psychology itself.<br />
We also have to mention that a well known actor in Brazilian theater, Sergio Britto,<br />
who performed Jung in a theater production that was popular in many cities of the<br />
country, Jung and I, took part in the event bringing insightful feelings about the<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> world. And we also witnessed remarkable discussions in round tables<br />
following the presentations from our analysts members, questions, for instance, about<br />
such themes as: “Society, Pathologizing and Psychotherapy”; “Psychotherapy, the<br />
Individual and Society”; “Symbols of Nature in Dream and Psychotherapy”; “City and<br />
Soul”, among others.<br />
pg. 32
Dr. Mario Jacoby has visited us, too, conducting in Rio an interesting seminar about<br />
“Transference and the Interactive Field” for members and trainees. In São Paulo, the<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> Institute has received the visit of Dr. Robert Bosnak, who gave us an<br />
interesting lecture on creative imagination and the body.<br />
<strong>The</strong> programs for training analysts continued to be held in all Institutes, with great<br />
interest, and the number of people coming for training is amazingly increasing each<br />
year. Colleagues of AJB went on in their creative work: Walter Boechat published <strong>The</strong><br />
Mythopoiesis of the Psyche and Dulcinea Monteiro organized a book entitled: Senex<br />
and Puer.<br />
AJB, along with Sociedade Brasileira de Psicologia Analítica-SBrPA and other societies<br />
from Uruguay and Chile is working to organize and prepare the V Latin American<br />
Congress of <strong>Jungian</strong> Psychology, a major event in South America to be held in<br />
Santiago, Chile, September 4 th to 8 th , 2009. <strong>The</strong> theme for this next Congress is “Eros<br />
and Power in Clinical Psychology, Education and Culture”. A Scientific Committee was<br />
formed with colleagues from both Brazilian organizations to read and select papers<br />
for the Congress. Over the years, these events have proved to be important moments<br />
in which to share ideas and reflections and to feel the general climate and directions<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> psychology is taking in Latin countries.<br />
AJB is proud to have published the fourth issue of our yearly journal, Cadernos<br />
Junguianos-2008, with articles mainly from AJB’s analysts. Editor Dr. Gustavo<br />
Barcellos is working together with a group of analysts members of the Association to<br />
bring contemporary <strong>Jungian</strong> thought on matters clinic, cultural and otherwise to a<br />
ever wide range of readers.<br />

Brazil (São Paolo)<br />
BRAZILIAN SOCIETY FOR ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (SBrPA)<br />
It is a great pleasure to share with you <strong>new</strong>s of this very special year for us at SBrPA.<br />
Celebrating the 30 th year since our Society’s foundation, we organized a series of<br />
events through 2008 that have been both enriching and gratifying.<br />
<strong>The</strong> opening event on March 7 at the MASP (Museum of Arts of São Paulo) gathered<br />
around 400 people who joined in honoring our founding members (Carlos Byington,<br />
Carlos Lacaz, Iraci Galiás, José James Barros, Mery Rosenblitz, Nairo Vargas), and had<br />
the privilege of attending two conferences held by two dear <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts: Dr.<br />
Luigi Zoja and Dr. Mario Jacoby.<br />
<strong>The</strong> themes presented reflected the interest and focus of SBrPA on the development<br />
and problems of the human being living in present-day <strong>society</strong>, as well as the<br />
theoretical-clinical advances of the analyst. Dr. Luigi Zoja, in his speech “Clash of<br />
Civilizations”, expounded on the confrontation among civilizations, projections and<br />
cultural changes. Dr. Jacoby, in his turn, spoke on the role of the analyst and his<br />
re<strong>new</strong>ed positioning respecting creativity, and the work itself in his talk, “Do we still<br />
remain at the feet of our Masters and avoid our own ideas? Reflections on<br />
contemporary <strong>Jungian</strong> psychotherapy.”<br />
On Saturday, March 8, there was a delicious lunch, bringing together most of the<br />
members of SBrPA and our foreign participants for a toast to our 30-year celebration.<br />
<strong>The</strong> following Monday, March 10, Dr. Mario Jacoby gave the much debated workshop<br />
at SBPA headquarters aimed at psychotherapists, "Empathy and Interpretation in the<br />
Interactive Field of Analysis".<br />
Throughout its 30 years’ existence, our Society has steadily established itself as an<br />
important center for spreading <strong>Jungian</strong> thought. We have today two different Analyst<br />
Training Programs. One is for analysts who live in the city of São Paulo and environs<br />
and the other for professionals of other cities within the state as well as other states<br />
of Brazil in general. Our Training Institute has worked tremendously, with great care<br />
and dedication so that both programs lead to well-trained, creative and capable<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> analysts.<br />
Furthermore, in order to better attend to the needs of our members, trainees,<br />
students searching our courses and the general public, we moved from our original<br />
quarters. As of August 2008, we have been working in a <strong>new</strong> house, more ample,<br />
prettier and better equipped to meet the demands of all the people who frequent our<br />
institution.<br />
In a country such as ours, with great social disparities, we work to serve at our<br />
institution, low-income people who need psychological treatment. At our present<br />
pg. 34
address we have a <strong>new</strong> clinic functioning independently with two consulting rooms in<br />
which, after a socio-economic analysis, patients are seen who could not otherwise<br />
benefit from such services.<br />
Giving continuity to the 30-year commemorations of SBrPA, the event “Dialogues in<br />
Contemporary Times” was held on September 27. <strong>The</strong> round-table discussions took<br />
place at PUC University, with a high number of participants: 250 analysts and<br />
scholars. In this meeting researchers of distinct fields of knowledge and SBPA analysts<br />
presented interesting contributions on human development in the present day and on<br />
the ideas of C.G. Jung.<br />
Following the opening speech by the President of SBrPA, Liliana Liviano Wahba, under<br />
the title “Analysis, Synthesis, Integrity”, there began the round-table session. <strong>The</strong><br />
psychiatrist Marcelo Feijó, gave a presentation on the psychiatric and<br />
neurophysiological aspects of "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" and had a dialogue with<br />
Iraci Galiás, who presented an analytic approach to the disorder. At the second round<br />
table discussion, "Couples and Families", we had the pleasure of listening to Maria<br />
Teresa Raduan, who presented a work with Ceres Araujo relating their experience<br />
within the very current issue, "<strong>The</strong> Children of Reconstituted Families", and to Nairo<br />
de Souza Vargas who shared his observations on aging entitled "Senescence and<br />
Conjugality". In the afternoon table session "Quantum Physics and Analytical<br />
Psychology," Ana Lia Aufranc spoke on the relation between the ideas of Jung and<br />
quantum physics, while the physicist João Bernardes da Rocha Filho demonstrated the<br />
archetypal intertwining of the Sciences. At the following discussion, "Archetypes of<br />
the Metropolis," Augusto Capelo invited us to ride around São Paulo on the wings of<br />
motoboys (delivery boys on motorcycles), bringing an analogy with the god Mercury.<br />
<strong>The</strong> anthropologist José Guilherme Magnani spoke about a group of young Paulistanos<br />
(born in the city of São Paulo) and their organization in social dynamics. During the<br />
final round-table of the day, "Analytic Psychology and Spirituality", we were given the<br />
gift of a poetic praise of the shadow, rendered by the Uruguayan psychiatrist, Mario<br />
Saiz. Carlos Amadeu Botelho Byington ended the activities of the day with a moving<br />
talk on evil and the importance of the <strong>Jungian</strong> analyst today.<br />
On September 29 we counted on the presence, along with AJB, of Dr. Robert Bosnak<br />
at an event that had for its theme, "<strong>The</strong> Intelligent Body: Creative Imagination in<br />
Medicine, Psychotherapy and <strong>The</strong>ater."<br />
We are also, as members of CLAPA (Latin American Committee of Analytical<br />
Psychology), collaborating in the organization of the V Latin American Analytical<br />
Psychology Congress on “Eros and Power- in Clinic, Education and Culture.” It will<br />
take place from the 4 th to the 8 th of September, 2009 in Santiago, Chile, at the<br />
Sheraton Convention Center. <strong>The</strong> deadline for sending in papers is November 30,<br />
2008. We invite the entire <strong>Jungian</strong> community to join us at this event, working as a<br />
place of exchange among analysts and students of all of Latin America, counting<br />
always on the caring participation of analysts from various parts of the world.<br />
pg. 35
We are further organizing our annual exchange event, the XXII Moitará, the theme of<br />
which this year is "Humor in Brazil." Moitará will take place from the <strong>28</strong> th to the 30 th<br />
of November in Campos de Jordão, where professionals from various fields will join up<br />
with <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts to discuss in a space of friendly interchange aspects of Brazilian<br />
culture. As part of what has become a tradition, we will be launching during this<br />
event the 26 th edition of our annual journal, <strong>Jungian</strong>a, with the theme<br />
“Contemporaneity and Analytical Psychology”.<br />

ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (OAJA)<br />
Okay, so we did it! We finally succeeded in having some fun together. A wonderful<br />
dinner was enjoyed by our membership before our summer break. Wine, excellent<br />
food, toasts, jokes and amiable discussions...all constituted an event devoted to<br />
teleological hedonism.<br />
pg. 36
We have streamlined our membership meeting schedule to 4 per year, with additional<br />
Executive and special meetings as necessary. This really is a sign that we have<br />
navigated the major straits and shoals of our training process and that this stage of<br />
our journey together has been successfully completed. Now, we'll just wait and see<br />
what other surprises life has in store for us.<br />
Movements are afoot within our membership to develop discussion and interest group<br />
gatherings in order to further our professional development and just plain have some<br />
good times. As well we are engaged in discussions to promote the revitalization of<br />
our Public Programme which had fallen into the background during the years we have<br />
been devoting so much time and energy to developing our Training Programme. Part<br />
of this reanimation will be an expansion on line of our <strong><strong>new</strong>sletter</strong>, Chiron.<br />
Contributions from the wider <strong>Jungian</strong> world of <strong>new</strong>s, workshop notices, book reviews<br />
will be very welcome at any time. Also, please pay a visit to our <strong>new</strong> website:<br />
http://www.cgjungontario.com.<br />
Most welcome additions to our membership have continued as more of our trainees<br />
have graduated. <strong>The</strong>ir energy and fresh perspectives have already proved invaluable<br />
to our association. We have 7 <strong>new</strong> graduate members to date, and further good<br />
<strong>new</strong>s: more are coming soon!<br />
Though it must be admitted (as is true for everyone else in this world) we have had<br />
our trials and tribulations, I believe the following piece of wisdom sums up our<br />
attitude towards our work together:<br />
"PORTA AD PACEM ANGOUSTISSIMA EST; NEMO POTEST IN TRAHERE, NISI PER<br />
ANIMAE AFFLICTIONEM."<br />
Exceeding narrow is the gateway to peace, and none may enter save through<br />
affliction of the soul.<br />

<strong>The</strong> six-year training we started in 2007 is progressing very well. We now have 12<br />
candidates, as two candidates decided to leave the training, and one candidate very<br />
sadly died of a serious illness.<br />
We have since 2001 had the two British analysts, David Freeman and Joy Schaverien,<br />
as members of our staff at the Jung Institute in Copenhagen. We have been pleased to<br />
have this competent inspiration from abroad, but this year Joy Schaverien from SAP<br />
decided to stop being a member of our staff. We are happy that Joy will still<br />
occasionally give lectures and workshops to our candidates. As another member of our<br />
staff, we have invited Jan Wiener from SAP, and we are very pleased that she has<br />
accepted and look forward to our co-operation.<br />
Every summer we have a staff meeting where we meet for several days, planning the<br />
training and discussing various problems. This year we had an expanded staff meeting,<br />
meaning that the staff members could bring their spouses, and besides the work<br />
concerning the training, some members of the staff and some of the spouses gave<br />
lectures for all of us. This was very inspiring, a nice way to get to know each other<br />
and to be up to date with each other professionally.<br />
We have decided to start a <strong>new</strong> training program in 2010, so that we will have two<br />
generations at the same time. We think that it will be fruitful for the training,<br />
because we can arrange co-education in seminars and lectures, and we believe it<br />
will create a more intense atmosphere.<br />
In Denmark, we have had an ongoing evaluation of psychotherapeutic trainings. We<br />
also did our evaluation at the Jung Institute, which was quite a job. We are very<br />
proud that we have now received a positive evaluation without any reservations.<br />

SFPA at home…<br />
Due to a general strike late last year, our November 2007 tri-annual seminar was held<br />
in January 2008. Our institutional reorganization continues, debates have been lively –<br />
and sometimes difficult – all year long. <strong>The</strong> President’s Council, composed of the<br />
President and the heads of the six committees that were put into place last year to<br />
assure a more democratic functioning, is the decision-making organ of the SFPA. It<br />
met for the first time in December 2007, and in an animated debate, it was largely<br />
question of the transition of power that was to take place in June of this year, since<br />
the mandates of the majority of the members of the SFPA’s Directors’ Committee,<br />
including that of the President, would end at that date. Due to an insufficient number<br />
of candidates in June, the definitive election took place in November, at our last<br />
triennial seminar. Henri de Vathaire was elected President and Françoise Le Hénand<br />
Vice-president; they have chosen to work together as co-presidents. Léa Hauteville<br />
was elected General Secretary, and Geneviève Malafaye Treasurer. <strong>The</strong> six<br />
committees – administration, scientific, communication, statutes and institutional<br />
evolution, ethics, and the thesis evaluation committee – are functioning well, and as<br />
hoped, have opened up participation to a broader number of members and lightened<br />
ever so slightly the work-load of the President.<br />
Following much discussion in January, in March, and in June, twelve members –<br />
including six training analysts – were elected, partly in June and partly in November,<br />
to the <strong>new</strong> Admissions Committee. One of the novelties of this committee is that it<br />
includes members who are not training analysts in the process of determining<br />
passages of candidates through the training program.<br />
Aside the heavy load of institutional work that was done during our seminars, several<br />
very interesting scientific papers were presented and followed by group discussions.<br />
“Training as <strong>The</strong>ater”, “Shadow-games in Transmission”, “Transference Ethics and<br />
Training Analysis” were some of the papers presented on the theme of transmission<br />
and training. In the vast theme of art, one presentation featured the work of Lee<br />
Miller: “<strong>The</strong> Heritage of Women Surrealists: the Muses are not Mute”; and a second<br />
one: “Dreams: <strong>The</strong> Spoken and Unspoken - Federico Fellini’s Libro dei Sogni”. A<br />
further interesting contribution was the presentation of Arthur Coleman’s work: Up<br />
from Scapegoating: Awakening Consciousness in Groups. In June, we ‘de-centralized’:<br />
our seminar was held in the beautiful southwestern city of Toulouse.<br />
In January, the Adolescent and Child <strong>The</strong>rapists group met for their second weekend<br />
of work on the theme of “<strong>The</strong> Fraternal”. If the group’s leaders were enthusiastic<br />
regarding the quality of the papers presented and the discussions that followed, there<br />
was deep regret expressed that the meetings do not attract more participation on the<br />
part of analysts who do not necessarily work with adolescents or children. All were<br />
pg. 39
encouraged to invite colleagues to attend the next seminars which will work around<br />
the theme of “Violence: Imagination and Acts”.<br />
Growth in the membership of our <strong>society</strong> increased somewhat compared with 2007:<br />
ten <strong>new</strong> candidates were admitted to the training program; eleven candidates were<br />
admitted as associate members; three associate members were voted to present their<br />
theses in the next six months; four members presented theirs and were voted to full<br />
membership.<br />
Our library has been vastly expanded (a large gift of books and documents were<br />
received from the estate of our deceased colleague Luigi Aurigemma), and now boasts<br />
an interactive catalogue that may be consulted on our web site<br />
(www.cgjungfrance.com). We hope in time to develop a joint data base with other<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> societies. For now, it has become a precious source for students, analysts and<br />
researchers.<br />
…in the community…<br />
In January, the Cahiers jungiens de psychanalyse organized a workshop highlighting<br />
four recent issues of the journal centered on different sensory perceptions: “<strong>The</strong><br />
Doors to Sensory Perception”. Several papers were presented and morning and<br />
afternoon discussions proved how important, even how vital it is for us, as analysts,<br />
to allow sensorial phenomena question our theories and our practice in the consulting<br />
room.<br />
For the third successive year, a daylong workshop was held in May and open to the<br />
public for professionals in the field of human relations. <strong>The</strong> theme was “Does<br />
Suffering have Meaning?” With around fifteen participants, the day’s work was<br />
organized around two exposés that were followed by discussions and exchanges in<br />
small groups, in which our colleagues proposed <strong>Jungian</strong> orientations to the<br />
participants in the hope that their theoretical and clinical practice would benefit<br />
from these ideas that were perhaps <strong>new</strong> to them.<br />
Finally, in October, the SFPA hosted a daylong colloquium entitled “Jung and<br />
Dreams”. Four papers were delivered to a large and enthusiastic audience of roughly<br />
one hundred and eighty people, following which a panel of the four analysts<br />
responded to the many questions raised by their presentations. <strong>The</strong>ir different themes<br />
were “Dream Territories”, “Dream as Literary Creation”, “Are Children’s Dreams on<br />
the Royal Road?”, and “Nightmares and the Collective Unconscious”.<br />
…and abroad...<br />
<strong>The</strong> anglo-franco-belgian group met this year in Kent, England where our British<br />
colleagues welcomed us with a rich and varied program. Our work theme was “When<br />
the Analyst Surprises him/herself in the Consulting Room”. <strong>The</strong> three presentations all<br />
contained surprises, and convivial group discussions followed. Saturday evening was<br />
pg. 40
eserved for ‘surprises’ brought by individuals or, in the case of several Belgian<br />
colleagues: a fairy tale presented ‘bi-lingually’ and with a surprise ending. On<br />
Saturday afternoon, we visited the marvelous gardens of Sissinghurst Castle, the home<br />
of Vita Sackville-West.<br />
<strong>The</strong> XIXth Franco-Italian seminar met in Paris in October. <strong>The</strong> subjects of the exposés<br />
were varied and dense: ‘crossbreeding’ theories, enactment, paradoxical thinking,<br />
and the fraternal complex. <strong>The</strong>y gave way to vibrant exchanges, not without humor<br />
which is sometimes a great way to achieve serious work. Our next seminar will meet<br />
around the theme “<strong>The</strong> permanence of the analyst faced with <strong>new</strong> types of<br />
demands”. <strong>The</strong> group will celebrate its XXth seminar in Rome in 2009.<br />
Several of our colleagues continue to travel to Tunisia, Eastern Europe and China,<br />
under the auspices of the Developing Groups Committee, to train analysts in these<br />
countries.<br />
Finally, others travel abroad, within Europe and further afield, to participate in<br />
conferences, deliver papers and otherwise open us up to <strong>Jungian</strong> colleagues all over<br />
the world.<br />

DEUTSCHE GESELLSCHAFT FÜR ANALYTISCHE PSYCHOLOGIE (DGAP)<br />
For our <strong>society</strong> the year 2008 'officially' started in March with the annual spring<br />
conference, this time at Kloster Seeon, a former monastery, located east of M ünich in<br />
a wonderful Bavarian landscape. Under the mayor title 'Identities' we had a number of<br />
interesting lectures handling with themes like migration (Anke Seitz), war-childhood<br />
(Thomas Krüger and others), identity as psychoanalyst and analytical psychologist<br />
(Michael Lindner), national identities – specially in eastern Europe (Jörg Rasche, Gert<br />
Sauer, Helga Thomas, Ludvik Betak), post-adolescence (Gustav Bovensiepen), identity<br />
and death (Ralf Vogel), '<strong>The</strong> Self between Hardship and Constraint' (Roman<br />
Lesmeister), followed by a series of workshops. <strong>The</strong> final paper was presented by<br />
Angelica Löwe. Under the title 'Messianism updated' she introduced a theological<br />
conceptualisation of the encounter of crises, identity and metamorphosis in the work<br />
of Erich Neumann. We also had the opportunity to watch the movie 'My name was<br />
Sabina Spielrein', which some of you will remember from the IAAP-congress at<br />
Barcelona. Elisabeth Marton as the director and Signe Mähler, who wrote the script,<br />
were present for discussion and helped to round up the evening.<br />
At the same occasion the general meeting of the DGAP took place. After nine years of<br />
hard work (three as vice-president, six as president) Jörg Rasche did not stand again<br />
for the presidency. So I am honoured to assume the office as the head of the DGAP.<br />
Second on the board of directors is Stefan Alder.<br />
Besides fulfilling their tasks in organizing and performing the <strong>Jungian</strong> training<br />
numerous activities are carried out by the three German Jung-Institutes during the<br />
year. Among those a study trip to Egypt, organized by a group from Cologne, a project<br />
entitled 'Childhood during the Nazi-Era' and another one located at Nuremberg 'History<br />
and Analytical Psychology' may be mentioned here. But not only the training institutes<br />
are engaged in spreading <strong>Jungian</strong> ideas. An important role take the diverse Jung-<br />
Gesellschaften (Jung-Societies) in this. <strong>The</strong>y have the advantage to be open not only<br />
for physicians and psychologists but for representatives of all professions. This<br />
enlarges their sphere of action in a very seasonable manner. (For more information<br />
please see former reports of the DGAP in the IAAP <strong><strong>new</strong>sletter</strong>).<br />
September brought us another Three-Country-Conference. This means a meeting of<br />
the three German speaking societies DGAP, ÖGAP and SGAP. Once again the place we<br />
picked for it was the Harnack-Haus at Berlin, a place connected to names like Max<br />
Planck, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn, Rabindranath<br />
Tagore - and Carl Gustav Jung. <strong>The</strong> event started with a well respected lecture held<br />
by Tom Singer from San Francisco entitled 'Cultural Complexes – the History of a<br />
Conception'. <strong>The</strong> string of papers that followed was as long as interesting. Jörg Rasche<br />
spoke about 'Culture, Nation, Complex – German in Europe', Jolana Buckowa from<br />
Prague about 'How to be good'. Isabelle Meier from Zürich posed the question whether<br />
the Swiss are the 'Hobbits of Europe' while Gerhard Burda, present chief of the ÖGAP,<br />
pg. 42
had entitled his paper 'Cultural Complex Europe: Jung and the Era of Religio-Politics'.<br />
Gert Sauer had come from Freiburg to let us know about '<strong>The</strong> Compex of German<br />
Supremacy und the Russian Complex to be encircled by predacious Barbarians'. From<br />
Zürich Allan Guggenbühl brought up another problem: 'Bi-Nationality: Curse or<br />
Blessing? – <strong>The</strong> Psychology of Children who grow up and live in different Cultures’.<br />
Elke Metzner from Nuremberg and Giovanni Sorge from Zürich introduced the<br />
audience to Ernst Bernhard, author of 'Mythobiografia' and maybe the historical keyperson<br />
of analytical psychology in Italy. In the afternoon of the same day we exposed<br />
a memorial plate in honour of Ernst Bernhard at a house in the district Charlottenburg<br />
where he used to reside while living in Berlin before his emigration to Italy. Looking<br />
east Fatih Güc and Volker Münch perorated our summit with one paper '<strong>The</strong> Koran,<br />
C.G. Jung and Intersubjectivity' and another one 'Meaning and Facets of the<br />
Phenomenon of Islamism'.<br />
Workshops were offered by Maria-Anna Bernasconi, Susanne Elsensohn, Henry Gros,<br />
Sylvia Kipp, Rahel Löwenthal-Neumann and Asa Liljenroth-Denk.<br />
All in all it was a noteworthy event with exceptional opportunities to get in touch<br />
with a great number of participants from the neighbouring societies. Meetings like<br />
this bring a kind of live exchange which will last in the memory of all those who have<br />
been there.<br />
Another topic the DGAP is dealing with today is research. In Germany we have another<br />
big study ongoing which evaluates the outcome of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis<br />
in the field of depression. <strong>The</strong> project (LAC) has been organized and is directed and<br />
carried out by joined forces of universities, analytical societies, clinics and<br />
individuals. We not only expect a further proof of efficiency of our profession, but<br />
some clues about what method to take in what case to gain the best effects.<br />
On another level object of research are the institutes themselves at present. At the<br />
instance of the government and under the direction of an university institute the<br />
qualities of the diverse training programs are inspected. Though this means a lot of<br />
additional work for us we welcome this kind of research for it pays the attention to<br />
our profession it deserves and it will help to valorize our doing within the wider<br />
scientific community.<br />

THE ISRAEL SOCIETY OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (ISAP)<br />
This past year has been a busy one filled with challenges, lively discussions and the<br />
evolving consolidation of who and what we are as a group. Our focus has been both at<br />
looking within, yet also aimed at teaching others, presenting in various professional<br />
forums, and being active in social issues and policy making agendas.<br />
Israel is now undergoing a process of significant reform in the area of public mental<br />
health. Esti Galili-Weisstub is an active member of the Steering Committee for Child<br />
and Adolescent Psychiatry. This committee is responsible for policy making in the<br />
arena of public mental health and its decisions will have long-term ramifications for<br />
mental health in Israel. Rafi Jungman and Esti Galili-Weisstub are both members of<br />
the recently formed National Committee for the Prevention of Suicide. Dr. Galili-<br />
Weisstub is part of a sub-committee whose task is to identify children and adolescents<br />
who are at high risk. Dr. Jungman, as part of his ongoing commitment to mental<br />
health issues in the Ethiopian community (here and abroad), is involved in mapping<br />
out the early warning signs, coping mechanisms and treatment recommendations. <strong>The</strong><br />
activities of both these members reflect our group’s deep belief in and commitment<br />
to public health issues, so that the community and <strong>society</strong> at large can benefit from<br />
improved care and treatment.<br />
Shmuel Bernstein presented at the recent Jung Conference on Cultural and National<br />
Identity: Historical and Psychological Perspectives. <strong>The</strong> title of his paper was: “<strong>The</strong><br />
Clash of Civilizations – a Clash of Archetypes”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first group of the 3 year psychotherapy program completed its training<br />
successfully. Feedback from the group was positive and enthusiastic.<br />
As a developing group within this post modern, deconstructionist period we have<br />
allowed ourselves the freedom to question, challenge and debate <strong>Jungian</strong> and post<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> thought. Two of our members (Beny Mor and Shmuel Bernstein), through their<br />
very interesting presentations, which included clinical case material, revisited the<br />
concepts of the feminine and the masculine. In re-examining these concepts,<br />
members shared how and in what ways these concepts are relevant and pertinent to<br />
their own clinical work.<br />
In keeping with our interest and commitment to staying abreast of current <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
literature, the group read and discussed (Cilla York and Chane Deitcher) a recent<br />
article which attempted to clarify and bridge concepts among various psychoanalytic<br />
schools of thought.<br />
To end off this year’s activity, we were pleased to once again host visiting guest<br />
lecturer Jacqueline Zeller, from New Mexico, who spoke on “Secrets in the Analytic<br />
pg. 44
Process”. As with her previous lecture, the group greatly benefited from her erudition<br />
and keen clinical presentation.<br />
As we move forward in our attempt to clarify and define ourselves both as a group<br />
and as individual professionals within the group, it appears that we are not searching<br />
for a unified all encompassing school of thought, but rather one that allows multiple<br />
voices to emerge within a temenos that is respectful of diversity. <strong>The</strong> fun for us is in<br />
asking the questions, in raising the doubts and in allowing ourselves to remain humble<br />
in the face of all there is yet still to learn.<br />

ISRAEL INSTITUTE OF JUNGIAN PSYCHOLOGY (IIJP)<br />
This has been a period of welcome and exciting growth for our Institute. Three senior<br />
analysts joined us this year and immediately took up responsibilities for the smooth<br />
running of our group activities. Michal Trudart became the program committee<br />
chairman. Nati Peri agreed to assume the position of secretary and is doing an<br />
excellent job. Erel Shalit is teaching our candidates and the feedback is very positive.<br />
Two candidates concluded their training and passed the final examination, Noa<br />
Shwartz and Batya Stern.<br />
In late October, our third training group consisting of 7 members began its process.<br />
Our second group (also 7) is beginning its fourth and final year of seminars and most<br />
are already in control analysis. Our first group of 7 is in various stages of control<br />
work. So we have 21 candidates in various stages of training.<br />
November 2007 weekend meeting on Lake Kinneret was dedicated to the Father as<br />
archetype and complex. Avi Bauman presented a theoretical paper, and Tamar Kron<br />
presented a clinical case. We had 2 more one day meetings during the year 2008<br />
dedicated to the Father theme, and a lecture by Mili Hed, a Professor of the History<br />
of Art, on the fathers of Salvador Dali and Louis Bourgois. We just concluded an<br />
outstanding week end meeting on the shores of Lake Kinneret which Michal Troudart<br />
pg. 45
organized. <strong>The</strong> theme for 2008-2009 is the Puer-Senex. We are following a model of<br />
theoretical, experiential and clinical presentations around the subject. In this<br />
meeting Avi Bauman gave the theoretical paper, Leah Avshalom and Nati Peri<br />
presented the movie Oneigin and discussed the puer aspects and Baruch Cahana<br />
presented clinical material. It was an extremely interesting, well-attended weekend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> presentations were excellent, and thought provoking and the discussions were<br />
lively and fruitful. We find that this model is very effective and plan to repeat it.<br />
Here in Israel all of the depth psychology institutes have gathered together to bring<br />
out a journal in Hebrew. Our representative is Avi Bauman, and five of our members<br />
have agreed to act as referents on articles submitted to the journal. We are looking<br />
forward to having a strong <strong>Jungian</strong> representation in the journal and to introducing<br />
Jung to Hebrew speaking psychologists and analysts. (<strong>The</strong> Freud-Jung letters were<br />
just published here in Hebrew.)<br />

NEW ISRAELI JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (NIJS)<br />
<strong>The</strong> past year has been one of expansion for our Society, as well as a time for a<br />
meeting with the <strong>new</strong> and the diverse. We are now eight years old, with 26 members<br />
and 19 candidates in training. Our members also run two schools of <strong>Jungian</strong>-oriented<br />
psychotherapy, besides the regular analytic training program.<br />
Our Society was born out of the difficulties that resulted from the splits in the original<br />
Israel <strong>Jungian</strong> Association, and owes its current strength and viability to the dedicated<br />
efforts that the founders have invested in its establishment and development. <strong>The</strong><br />
fruits of this work were harvested this year, with the acceptance into our ranks of<br />
seven graduates from the first training group. Most of them are now actively involved<br />
in the Society's committees and in the training program, including me, the current<br />
secretary.<br />
Our first meeting of the year dealt with "meeting the stranger," introduced in a<br />
lecture by <strong>new</strong>ly qualified member Moshe Alon. He considered from the perspective<br />
pg. 46
of a <strong>Jungian</strong> school psychologist various ways in which the <strong>Israeli</strong> educational system,<br />
characterized by a Jewish Zionist orientation, deals with the integration of<br />
minorities—Moslem and Christian Arabs and foreign workers. One question that<br />
emerged in the ensuing discussion was how well do we know and how willing are we<br />
to become acquainted with the stranger within us, both in the Society and as<br />
individuals: what concerns us, beyond our professional lives and our persona in the<br />
Society. At that meeting, we decided to embark on a process that would enable us to<br />
perceive and appreciate the variance within us and outside us. We began to use our<br />
encounters to enable us to share and mutually support our life choices, and we<br />
planned a series of "circles of listening" meetings, facilitated by our members Yenina<br />
Zimnovotzki and Udi Avital. We also chose to examine other models for our meetings<br />
and other forms of therapy. <strong>The</strong> first meeting in these series, however, devoted to<br />
work with body movement, proved problematic for group communication because it<br />
collapsed borders that we found some of us preferred to preserve, such as the proper<br />
distance between therapist and trainee or supervisor and supervisee. Our next<br />
meeting will be devoted to "social dreaming," and we may conclude these series with<br />
a dynamic encounter using an outside facilitator to deal with group dynamics within<br />
the Society.<br />
We hope that these attempts to meet the "other" will help the younger generation to<br />
find its path within the Society and meet the senior members through their dreams<br />
and aspirations as well as their difficulties and failures. This dialogue helps our<br />
members to turn the “stranger” from a “shadow” into a source of creativity and<br />
strength, thereby reinforcing the human web that makes the Society also a home.<br />

Italy<br />
ASSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA PER LO STUDIO DELLA PSICOLOGIA ANALITICA (AIPA) :<br />
<strong>The</strong> General Assembly of our Association, held in February 2008, has confirmed the<br />
Executive Committee elected in February 2006 for another two years: Antonio Vitolo,<br />
Wanda Grosso, Leonella Magagnini, Filippo Strumia, while Fabrizio Alfani takes over<br />
from Riccardo Mondo who has had to leave his post for family reasons. <strong>The</strong> year 2008<br />
started with an important event: the presentation of a “special” book entitled<br />
“Psicologia Analitica, Percorsi Italiani” written by one of our most active members<br />
and Past Presidents, Marcello Pignatelli. <strong>The</strong> author describes the beginnings and<br />
subsequent diffusion of Analytical Psychology in Italy starting with the arrival of Ernst<br />
Bernhard and the first informal study groups, and includes some “historical”<br />
photographs illustrating his personal memories concerning the foundation of the AIPA.<br />
<strong>The</strong> presentation debate was a fantastic opportunity to become familiar with and/or<br />
to recall our roots and to learn about some interesting events which characterized the<br />
first years of our Association.<br />
In July, the DGAP (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Analytische Psychology) President Robert<br />
Winner and the renowned scholar Giovanni Sorge asked AIPA President Antonio Vitolo<br />
to write a paper concerning the importance of Ernst Bernhard in the dissemination of<br />
Analytical Psychology in Italy and the founding of the AIPA. This paper was delivered<br />
at the Congress held in Berlin. In this area of active exchange between the AIPA and<br />
the DGAP we mention another significant event: the piano performance of Jorg<br />
Rasche, IAAP Vice-President, invited by AIPA President Vitolo to give a talk on “<strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> Approach to Kinderszenen”. This lecture was really unique because Dr.<br />
Rasche personally played a R. Schumann composition on the piano. We enjoyed this<br />
unusual conference very much, where reflections, music and words also aroused great<br />
interest among colleagues from CIPA (Centro Italiano di Psicologia Analitica) who<br />
joined us that evening. In effect, this current year offered several occasions for<br />
cooperation between AIPA and CIPA members; in particular, we should mention that<br />
the XIV° CIPA Congress, “Attualità e Inattualità della Cura Psicoanalitica”, held in<br />
February in Rome, opened with lectures given by both Presidents, Anna Benvenuti and<br />
Antonio Vitolo, to signify the practice of cultural exchange and effective collaboration<br />
between the two main <strong>Jungian</strong> Associations in Italy.<br />
Moreover, just to illustrate how productive such cooperation has been we recall the<br />
special “afternoon meeting” dedicated to the XVII° IAAP Congress themes (“Journey &<br />
Encounters, Clinical – Communal – Cultural”) and organized by the colleagues (both<br />
AIPA and CIPA) who were in Cape Town last summer. Pictures, short movies, music<br />
and dances were shown to accompany personal reflections on the Congress, held in<br />
August 2007, concerning both the contents developed in the various sessions and the<br />
profound experiences of the participants.<br />
In addition, the debates hosted monthly at the Bibli Bookshop alternatively featuring<br />
speakers from the AIPA and the CIPA, with the aim of deepening the spirit of <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
pg. 48
theory and the thinking of M.L. von Franz. Since this year is the 10 th Anniversary of<br />
M.L. von Franz’s death, a day-long seminar was dedicated to her particular work<br />
regarding mainly the female world, myths and fairy tales. This year, the AIPA review<br />
“Studi Junghiani” published a double volume on the issue of “Trauma”, in order to<br />
collect contributions concerning a very topical issue.<br />
Following the great interest aroused by the course entitled “Le Nuove Frontiere della<br />
Cura in una Società Multiculturale” (<strong>The</strong> New Frontiers of Treatment in a Multicultural<br />
Society) held last year, the Rome Branch has promoted another important event in<br />
cooperation with the ETNA (Etnopsicologia Analitica) group set up just for this<br />
purpose. This <strong>new</strong> course aimed to delve further into the issues discussed last year<br />
and devoted to exploring different topics of inter-cultural psychology, adding a<br />
particular focus on clinical aspects; the programme was developed over eleven weekends,<br />
held on a monthly basis and open to non-members as well; it consisted of<br />
lessons, workshops, clinical seminars directed towards specific training to improve<br />
psychotherapeutic practice with migrant patients in our multi-ethnic <strong>society</strong>.<br />
As usual, the other local branches (Florence, Milan and Naples) also organized<br />
numerous cultural events, where colleagues from other Associations were always<br />
welcome. We only report the Conference organized in Tuscany where some colleagues<br />
were asked to offer their own experiences in order to delve into different suggestions<br />
for clinical practice from Jung’s works, in the light of the most recent research results<br />
as well as discoveries in the field of neuroscience. <strong>The</strong> consultation Centres of all<br />
AIPA branches continue to work hard and increase their activities, particularly in the<br />
special section devoted to children, adolescents and their parents.<br />
Among the books published this year we mention : “Cosa muove il Mondo” (Magi Ed.)<br />
proceedings of the Fifth National Congress concerning the concept and the dynamic<br />
mechanisms of motivation (collected by S. Carta e L. Pavone Editors) and “Generi e<br />
Generazioni. Ordine e Disordine nelle Identificazioni“, proceedings of the Italian<br />
Freudian Society Congress where our President Vitolo was invited to give a speech<br />
concerning Jung and Post-Freudian analytic travail.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two groups with a peculiar predilection for “images” are L.A.I. “Laboratorio<br />
Analitico delle Immagini” (Analytical Laboratory of Images) and “Imaghia” , whose<br />
characteristics were described in last year’s IAAP Newsletter Report. Both continue to<br />
regularly organize specific events concerning their chosen field. For instance, besides<br />
the six seminars held this year, the L.A.I. has promoted the publication of the<br />
collection of papers written by different Authors “Il gesto che racconta” (<strong>The</strong><br />
Narrating Gesture) with a conference to discuss the main issues which qualify Sand-<br />
Play <strong>The</strong>rapy. “Imaghia”, which gives particular attention to the “communicationmedia”<br />
context, gave prizes ex-aequo to two films : Juno (directed by Jason Reitman)<br />
and Reservation Road (directed by Terry Gorge), because both movies were deemed<br />
to give expression to the possibility of transformation, according to the rules of<br />
“Premio Imaghia ai Film che fanno bene” (Imaghia Prize for Films that do you good).<br />

At the end of 2008 we will be having an extraordinary event: our Executive<br />
Committee has invited Hester Solomon, IAAP President, Joseph Cambray President-<br />
Elect and Tom Kelly, Vice-President and Montreal Organizing Committee Chair, to<br />
come to Rome on 3rd December for a very unusual and magnificent inauguration of<br />
the 2008-09 academic year: on that occasion there will be a workshop on “<strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> Model and the post-<strong>Jungian</strong> Models”. This is an opportunity not to be missed,<br />
for participants will have occasion to personally meet IAAP Executive Committee<br />
Representatives and to become familiar with international cultural orientations in the<br />
wide world of <strong>Jungian</strong> practice.<br />
In concluding this report I wish to mention that we will be called on to deal with an<br />
extremely important issue for our Association. In fact, during the September Assembly<br />
the possibility of modifying our training program was discussed, and since there are<br />
different points of view the debate will have to search deeper into all concerns<br />
regarding the various aspects: we know it is not an easy question!<br />

CIPA Milano<br />
<strong>The</strong> most relevant activities of our Milan Institute, beside the regular lectures and<br />
seminars for our trainees, were focused on public scientific events open to<br />
psychotherapists and medical doctors.<br />
pg. 52
Our Institute organized several lectures around the “the spirit of the times” on the<br />
following subjects:<br />
“<strong>The</strong> end of meaning”; a round table with E. Cristiani, M.I. Wuehl, O. Mariani<br />
(CIPA Milan) and special guest Wolfgang Giegerich, a well known German<br />
member of the IAAP.<br />
“Actuality of the theory of dreams in Jung”; we hosted Margaret Wilkinson<br />
(SAP) with the participation of E. Cristiani and N. Fina (CIPA).<br />
“Opposition between Civilizations” with P. Colaprico (reporter), M. De Paoli<br />
and A. Roveda (publishers), and A. Orlandini (CIPA).<br />
“Abuse of the object” with the participation of Jean Knox (SAP), N. Fina, C.<br />
Vezzoli and F. Bisagni (CIPA).<br />
“Clinical practice with adolescents in the technological era” with the<br />
contribution of A. Maggiolini, C. Freddi, C. Miglioli; and M. Ceccarelli (CIPA).<br />
A. Mazzarella (CIPA) organized a cycle of musical listening as a complementary<br />
research of the individuation process.<br />
Another important initiative with the most valuable contributions of our colleagues<br />
was organized by our Scientific Committee: a conference on “Violence, a meeting<br />
with the political and cultural world”. <strong>The</strong> event was open to the general public and<br />
was very successful.<br />
A group of analysts regularly meets once a month in order to discuss and improve the<br />
training process of our school.<br />
Turin<br />
Our active group in Turin, organized a special meeting on the subject: “A social<br />
network as a prevention of social conflicts” with some interesting contributions and<br />
many participants.<br />
Rome<br />
Our Rome Institute organized several conferences on different interesting subjects.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Italian psychoanalyst E. Borgna gave a lecture on “Emotions in therapy” and there<br />
was also a cycle of lectures on the theme of the body:<br />
“Written on the body. Self-damaging behaviour in adolescence”, by M. Ferrara;<br />
“<strong>The</strong> body in analysis”, by L. Solano;<br />
“<strong>The</strong> body in analytical psychology”, by D. Ribola;<br />
“A relational perspective on the body”, by C. Arnetoli;<br />
“<strong>The</strong> body and its diseases from the cognitive-evolutional point of view”, by C.<br />
Ardovini;<br />
“<strong>The</strong> use of the coach in analysis”, by V. Lingiardi.<br />
pg. 53
<strong>The</strong> most significant event of the year at CIPA was the National Conference held in<br />
Rome in February 2008: “Actuality and in-actuality of the psychoanalytic practice.<br />
What future for depth psychologies?”<br />

ASSOCIATION OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS OF JAPAN (AJAJ)<br />
Last year, we lost three of our senior colleagues, and truly became overwhelmed with<br />
grief because they had been leading the <strong>Jungian</strong> <strong>society</strong> in Japan for many years.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y brought up many psychotherapists through their personal analysis and<br />
supervision. Especially Dr. Kawai, who was also a representative of the foundation of<br />
our <strong>society</strong> in 2002. At the memorial academic symposium for Hayao Kawai on the<br />
20th of April 2008 at Kyoto, we had over 500 participants sharing bitter sorrow. We<br />
have now reached the decision to take over their great heritages and develop them<br />
further.<br />
First, we would like to inform you of the change of our executives on the occasion of<br />
the expiration of their present term, as follows: Hiroshi Yokoyama took over from<br />
Kazuhiko Higuchi as President, and the <strong>new</strong>ly arrived Toshio Kawai took up the<br />
position of Vice-president. Madoka Kawato, the Director of the Selection<br />
Committee, Iwao Akita, Treasurer, and Yasuhiro Tanaka, Honorary Secretary, remain<br />
in their posts. Kazuhiko Higuchi had been in the position of President since our<br />
founding. He continues to participate in our executive committee as Honorary<br />
President.<br />
Next, we are happy to inform you that we started up an editorial committee, and will<br />
publish our first journal at the end of January 2009. <strong>The</strong> chief editor is Toshio Kawai.<br />
This first issue will carry the record of the memorial academic symposium for Hayao<br />
Kawai, as mentioned above, including its very impressive key-note speech by Dr.<br />
James Hillman, “Silence and Laughter,” offering his deep condolences on Dr. Kawai’s<br />
passing. We have a plan to steadily publish our journal yearly, which will contribute<br />
to the further development and extension of <strong>Jungian</strong> psychology in Japan by providing<br />
the occasion to present not only psychological but also interdisciplinary researches<br />
including philosophy, anthropology, ethnology, the science of religion, brain science,<br />
and so on.<br />
This year, we made one <strong>new</strong> member who was trained in Zürich, Yasuhiro Suzuki,<br />
welcome to our <strong>society</strong>. AJAJ now has 32 IAAP members (29 voting members + 3<br />
associate members). Our <strong>society</strong> has grown considerably.<br />
Six and a half years have passed since AJAJ became a training institute. We now have<br />
9 diploma and 10 training candidates, 80 matriculated auditors, and 390 registered<br />
members. During this year, two students have passed the entrance examination and<br />
have become our training candidates. One of them has already started his training at<br />
ISAP. With him included, three of our training candidates are now studying at ISAP in<br />
Zürich. All of them are expected to become our diploma candidates. We are very<br />
pleased to have such a steady increase in the number of our students. As a matter of<br />
fact, another candidate will go to ISAP next year.<br />
pg. 55
We will be very happy to announce the first diploma granted from our institute in the<br />
near future. As mentioned above, we now have nine diploma candidates, one of<br />
whom has now come to the point of sitting for the second half of the final<br />
examinations, having passed the first half. In comparison with the Japanese<br />
candidates trained in Zürich, the training term here will generally be longer, because<br />
the students are grappling, step by step, with their training at the same time as<br />
teaching at university or working in hospitals as clinical psychologists. We think of this<br />
as having quite different, although good effects on them, from the intensive and<br />
shorter -term training in a foreign country. That is because such longer training also<br />
includes necessary gateways for Japanese to train themselves in Japan and then<br />
become <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts.<br />
Although until now we can evaluate our training system as functioning sufficiently, as<br />
shown above, we nevertheless have a matter of concern about it; i. e. an outflow of<br />
our diploma candidates who decide to finish their training in Zürich. We do recognize<br />
that there are various factors behind their decision, but we will have to consider and<br />
discuss the standard of our training. Such a standard cannot fully function either in<br />
the case of being too strict or too easy. In so doing, we need to take into account the<br />
above-mentioned peculiarity of the training environment for our candidates in Japan.<br />
In the last six years, we have invited many leading <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts, such as Murray<br />
Stein, Wolfgang Giegerich, Allan Guggenbühl, Renos Papadopoulos, and Christian<br />
Gaillard, as lecturers and had a chance to communicate with them. This year too,<br />
James Hillman, Doris Lier and Allan Guggenbühl, have already been, and Andrew<br />
Samuels will come. We will continue in this way and in addition try to regularly send<br />
out information on our academic and practical activities to <strong>Jungian</strong> societies all over<br />
the world from Japan.<br />

Korea<br />
KOREAN ASSOCIATION OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (KAJA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> year 2008 was a very meaningful one for us. After the IAAP approval of KAJA as a<br />
training group in Aug. 2007 two graduates of C. G Jung Institute of Korea, Dr. Cheol<br />
Joong Kang M.D. Ph.D. and Dr. Kye-Hee Kim, M.D, became contemporaneously<br />
members of KAJA and of the IAAP. We have now 14 <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts in Korea. In May<br />
we celebrated the 10th anniversary of C. G Jung Institute of Korea and the 30th<br />
anniversary of Korean Society for Analytical Psychology with symposia on the healing<br />
aspect of religion in the East and the West. At the C.G. Jung Institute of Korea a<br />
series of public memorial lectures on the fundamentals of Analytical Psychology was<br />
held during both Spring and Autumn semesters. We have completed this year the<br />
Korean translation of C. G. Jung's Grundwerke (Basic Works, Walter Verlag) and<br />
published the whole 9 volumes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> over twenty candidates of C. G Jung Institute of Korea are the future of KAJA and<br />
we are now rapidly growing in comparison to the 30 years that have passed since<br />
Professor Bou-Yong Rhi founded the study group for Analytical Psychology in Korea.<br />
We are trying to maintain the good quality of education and harmonious collaboration<br />
in KAJA. I think the future of Analytical Psychology in Korea is very promising.<br />

THE NETHERLANDS ASSOCIATION FOR ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (NAAP)<br />
Our association is slowly growing. In this year of 2008, we have eleven members and<br />
two aspiring members. Four Dutch residents pursue training by following the IAAP<br />
Individual Membership route. Our ongoing association activities include the twice-ayear<br />
Study Day, now finishing its third year, which functions as the platform for<br />
presentation, by and for colleagues, of the concepts or approaches that most inform<br />
the work of each NAAP member.<br />
pg. 57
In January, we held our second symposium - a biennial event aimed at raising<br />
awareness of <strong>Jungian</strong> ideas in the Dutch psychotherapeutic community. Speakers were<br />
Andrew Samuels and Renos Papadopoulos, and respondents were prominent Dutch<br />
psychoanalysts Harry Stroeken and Nelleke Nicolai, and in this way the NAAP<br />
contributed to the intercollegial dialogue between the two schools of depth<br />
psychology.<br />
Our website continues to be a platform for disseminating ideas on analytical<br />
psychology. Included is a section on the history of analytical psychology in the<br />
Netherlands, which focuses on those individuals (active in the Netherlands) who<br />
worked with C.G.Jung. An ongoing project, the building of the C.G.Jung Library in<br />
Heusden, continues. I have been the president of this association since its inception<br />
and acceptance by the IAAP in 2001. This means that 2008 is my last year as<br />
president. I retire content in the knowledge that we have become a group that works<br />
well together and is mutually supportive.<br />

SOUTH AFRICA ASSOCIATION OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (SAAJA)<br />
2008 has been a very significant period for SAAJA. In many ways it has represented a<br />
coming of age of the organization, which was founded 14 years ago in 1994. As with<br />
all rights of passage, this stage of development has been heralded by several crises<br />
that have confronted the organization. Most of these remain unresolved at present<br />
and yet, they have provided the stimulus for a reappraisal of ourselves and our<br />
identity as an organization.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first crisis has been around for some time and involves the attempt to have the<br />
Centre rezoned so that we can function here legally. As you may recall, from the last<br />
AGM, a rezoning application for business rights was approved, subject to our providing<br />
sufficient parking. Initially it was hoped that the Baxter and UCT might provide us<br />
with the parking bays required, but this proved impossible. We have subsequently put<br />
a proposal to Council that we demolish the converted garage, which now houses the<br />
pg. 58
Library and outside toilet to provide parking off Linray Road for six cars. This is being<br />
considered by the City Council and we are awaiting their response. <strong>The</strong> Library would<br />
then move into the main building and would be accommodated in the very space in<br />
which we are presently sitting. This space would then serve as a Library and seminar<br />
room. We feel this is the best option open to us and it would solve the parking<br />
problem and zoning issue. <strong>The</strong> value of the property would not be affected by the<br />
demolition, because of the business zoning that we would acquire. This would<br />
increase the value of the property substantially.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second issue of concern is our financial situation. Early this year an analysis of<br />
our financial status indicated that we were likely to incur a significant loss this year.<br />
Several factors contributed to this:<br />
1. Administrative costs have increased over the years. This is as a result of the<br />
running of the organization becoming more complex. Whereas previously a<br />
significant amount of administrative input had been voluntary, SAAJA is now<br />
paying for this work.<br />
2. <strong>The</strong> number of trainees has declined over the past four years and with few<br />
<strong>new</strong> members and the occasional resignation, the membership body has<br />
been relatively static numerically.<br />
3. Increased rates and other inflation related costs have further eroded our<br />
financial base.<br />
As a short-term measure to deal with these financial problems, we unfortunately had<br />
to increase fees for members substantially this year, as well as increase room rentals<br />
at the Centre.<br />
But as an organization we felt that we needed to take an in-depth look at the<br />
functioning of SAAJA and determine longer-term solutions to these problems. Why was<br />
there so little interest in training? How could we generate more income? What was<br />
our vision for SAAJA in the future? <strong>The</strong>se were some of the questions that formed part<br />
of a questionnaire formulated by our secretary John Gosling to gauge members’<br />
perception of the organization.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was an enthusiastic response to the questionnaire, which has resulted in a<br />
number of extra-ordinary Professional meetings where the most significant issues and<br />
concerns raised by our members have been openly debated in order to forge a<br />
sustainable future for SAAJA<br />
What emerged early on in our discussions is that we may well have to move to<br />
embrace our name as Southern African Association of <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysis by expanding<br />
our training to include candidates from other centres in South Africa. In<br />
communicating with other centres there is clearly a significant interest in SAAJA<br />
offering training to professionals from these areas. We are presently discussing the<br />
pg. 59
feasibility of a distance-training programme to accommodate these individuals within<br />
SAAJA and with the IAAP.<br />
This is just an example of how through a creative dialogue within SAAJA, we hope to<br />
use the challenges that confront us to transform and develop the organization. <strong>The</strong>ses<br />
and other issues that have been raised as a result of the questionnaire will keep us<br />
busy and creatively engaged for some time to come.<br />
As a result of the xenophobic violence that ravaged our country earlier this year, one<br />
of our Journal Clubs was dedicated to this issue. This resulted in several members<br />
drafting a letter to the Cape Argus in which we articulated an understanding of the<br />
causes of the violence and proposed possible solutions. We are very aware that rightly<br />
or wrongly we are perceived as a group of privileged white professionals and as such,<br />
need to be careful especially when we are seen to be dispensing advice to other<br />
groupings. However, the publication of the letter has resulted in an ongoing debate<br />
about SAAJA’s practical and constructive engagement in the broader community.<br />
Meetings with Mamphele Rhamphele and John Gilmore of the LEAP School in Cape<br />
Town followed, which are aimed at finding ways in which we as an organization might<br />
be prepared to make a contribution to creating a healthier <strong>society</strong>.<br />
In October this year, we invited and were visited by Robert Bosnak, as Australian and<br />
now American analyst, whose work on embodied emotion particularly in dream work,<br />
was very well received. In conjunction with Bosnak’s visit, SAAJA analysts held their<br />
own series of seminars for local and visiting professionals. I hope that these Mantis<br />
Week Seminars, as they have become known, will become an annual occurrence. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
are always well received and appreciated by those who attend and serve both to<br />
promote <strong>Jungian</strong> thought in the professional community as well as stimulate creativity<br />
within the organization.<br />
<strong>The</strong> success of any organization is dependent on the quality and commitment of its<br />
members. I have been heartened in the last year by how members of SAAJA have<br />
come together in a spirit of Eros and relatedness to grapple with issues confronting us<br />
and to find solutions to those problems<br />

SOCIEDAD ESPAÑOLA DE PSICOLOGIA ANALITICA (SEPA)<br />
After four years of intense work, the council of SEPA arrived at the end of its<br />
legislature and the positions of responsibility were re<strong>new</strong>ed last October.<br />
In the last years we have revised our statutes, the training program and the training<br />
regulations, as well as the content of our website. It could be said that a total change<br />
of orientation of SEPA as a <strong>Jungian</strong> training <strong>society</strong> has taken place. In the same way,<br />
we have organized a program of seminars for three consecutive years open to the<br />
numerous public interested in the ideas of Jung in our country. We are finding that<br />
there is more and more participation in our events.<br />
Last November we started the second course of the <strong>new</strong> training program.<br />
Analysts and Candidates agree, and we are pleased that we are obtaining a favourable<br />
atmosphere to deepen the training of analysts with a richer wealth of interaction and<br />
creativity. SEPA, as a whole, has begun to enjoy being a <strong>Jungian</strong> <strong>society</strong> that evolves<br />
with the feeling of security and trust in its own possibilities.<br />
Our objective for next year is to consolidate all these changes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most significant sample in our current process is manifested, on the one hand, in<br />
an internal movement, fruit of the <strong>new</strong> climate of rigor in the work, the design of the<br />
<strong>new</strong> program, as well as the organization of the administrative tasks and the<br />
encounters of, what we call, the “analysts’ circle”, where we discuss the topics we<br />
need to elaborate all together. On the other hand, there is an opening movement,<br />
shown by the fact that our candidates come, more and more, from different parts of<br />
the country. We have trainees from Alicante, Valencia, Madrid, Galicia, Basque<br />
Country and Catalunya. Besides this, a group constituted by psychologists, pedagogues<br />
and doctors interested in the work of C.G Jung who meets every month in Vigo<br />
(Galicia) with the analyst Concha Pazo.<br />
We can also affirm other opening movements, as is the case of some important<br />
contributions abroad. Dr. Rebeca Retamales is going to participate this year for the<br />
third time consecutively in the PhD. course of Existential Pathology at the University<br />
of Carabobo in Valencia, Venezuela, imparting seminars about the theory of C.G.Jung.<br />
Next year she is also going to teach in another Venezuelan University: the University<br />
of Andes in Mérida.<br />
María Mora, a Professional Candidate, offered a talk in the last congress of IAJS in<br />
Zürich in July this year entitled: “Two Spanish Legends from the Frontier Lands”.<br />
On the other hand, Juan Carlos Albaladejo and Esperanza Pérez who attended during<br />
the last two years the International Workshop of Analytical Psychology in Childhood<br />
Adolescence, have worked intensely this year 2008 to organize in Spain the last<br />
pg. 61
encounter of the Workshop. <strong>The</strong>y chose a beautiful place next to the Monastery of<br />
Poblet in Tarragona. Eight participants of SEPA enjoyed the experience. Ana Ibañez<br />
and Olivia del Castillo wrote the report of the group work in which they participated.<br />
We are very happy with having collaborate to have Spanish texts on the website of<br />
Materia Prima and we thank Brigitte Allain-Dupré who always trusted in the<br />
participation of Spain in the Workshop. With this contact we hope to give answer to<br />
the demand of the Candidates that desire a <strong>Jungian</strong> training in child and adolescence<br />
analysis in Spain.<br />
Lastly, we intend to promote exchanges with analysts from other societies. To begin<br />
the project, this year Juan Carlos Albaladejo is organizing a visit from the American<br />
analyst Brian Feldman. We hope this will prove very profitable.<br />

ASSOCIATION OF GRADUATE ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS (AGAP)<br />
As usual, it has been a busy, productive and reflective year for the Executive<br />
Committee of AGAP since the Cape Town Congress. We have convened for three<br />
weekend meetings in 2008, in Zürich, to conduct the <strong>society</strong>’s business, send out<br />
quarterly <strong><strong>new</strong>sletter</strong> updates, an annual <strong><strong>new</strong>sletter</strong>, and meet regularly with<br />
members of the Officer’s Committee of AGAP’s training institute, ISAPZÜRICH. We are<br />
in the planning stage for the triennial AGAP Forum (information below), and engaging<br />
in long-term thinking regarding professional development, ethical practice, good<br />
governance, and analytical training.<br />
AGAP Forum: <strong>The</strong> 2009 Forum will take place in the heart of old Zürich, at the<br />
historic Helferei, surrounded by that special ambience only found in Zürich’s<br />
Niederdorf. A rich program is being planned under the theme of Symptom, Symbol,<br />
Soul. We hope this broad and stimulating title will offer an umbrella for a wide<br />
variety of presentations opening up the relationships between symptom, symbol and<br />
soul. Paul Brutsche and John Hill have created and will perform a dramatic enactment<br />
of the Jung/White letters, which they gave to critical acclaim in London, Zürich and<br />
Boston. In addition to the daily program we will also be offering colloquia by familiar<br />
Zürich based analysts, a dream matrix and a memorial for departed colleagues. <strong>The</strong><br />
fun starts with a cocktail reception, with music provided by <strong>The</strong> Frogs, at sundown on<br />
our privately rented boat on the lake of Zürich. Excursions are also in the pipeline,<br />
including classic <strong>Jungian</strong> sites in Küsnacht and guided tours of old town Zürich.<br />

ISAP <strong>Jungian</strong> Odyssey: We are pleased to report continuing success with the <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
Odyssey, ISAPZÜRICH’s spring semester English-language retreat and intensive training<br />
opportunity. In 2008 the JO took place from May 25 th –June 1 st in Beatenberg, a quiet<br />
village in the Bernese Oberland. Among others presenting on Intimacy: Venturing the<br />
Uncertainties of the Heart, we were fortunate to have Ursula Wirtz (AGAP/ISAP,<br />
Switzerland) as keynote speaker, and two special guests, Noirin NiRiain (Ireland) and<br />
Tom Kapazinskas (USA). Among the other happy surprises of 2008 was our<br />
acquaintance with Nancy Cater of Spring Journal, Inc. This has led to an enjoyable<br />
exchange and ISAP’s first publication—also the first in the <strong>Jungian</strong> Odyssey series—<br />
forthcoming early in 2009. <strong>The</strong> book can be pre-ordered at<br />
www.springjournalandbooks.com. <strong>The</strong> next <strong>Jungian</strong> Odyssey will be held Engadine at<br />
the famous Hotel Waldhaus in Sils Maria, where we will explore the topic, Destruction<br />
and Creation: Facing the Ambiguities of Power. We were again overwhelmed by the<br />
positive response to our call for papers, and faced with an especially difficult<br />
selection process. <strong>The</strong> resulting program can be viewed at www.jungianodyssey.ch.<br />

ISAP News: ISAPZÜRICH, the training body of AGAP, entered its fourth year with the<br />
retirement of some of the founding members and the election of <strong>new</strong> ones. Our<br />
thanks go to Paul Brutsche, the retiring president, for his strong leadership and to all<br />
those who contributed to the establishment of ISAPZÜRICH under challenging<br />
circumstances. On the solid basis created by the founders, ISAP now enters a <strong>new</strong><br />
phase of its existence. Working to assure its sustainability, Murray Stein and Ursula<br />
Ulmer now function as co-presidents. Christa Robinson has replaced Katharina<br />
Casanova as Director of Studies.<br />
ISAPZÜRICH has become an ordinary member of the Swiss Charta, which confers<br />
official recognition of the professional training offered by the institution. In addition,<br />
the US Department of Education has recognized ISAPZÜRICH, thereby making loan<br />
funds available to US candidates who wish to train there. As well, ISAPZÜRICH’s<br />
training program has become a member of NAAP, the National Association for the<br />
Advancement of Psychoanalysis.<br />

SOCIÉTÉ SUISSE DE PSYCHOLOGIE ANALYTIQUE (SGAP – SSPA)<br />
THE SWISS SOCIETY OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (SGAP – SSPA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> annual membership meeting serves as a meeting place for all members of the<br />
association, regardless of whether they are associated with one of the training<br />
Institutes or not. We met in Bern in the usual collegial manner in the early part of<br />
2008 to conduct the association's business. <strong>The</strong> scientific part of the meeting was<br />
devoted to a lecture by Gustav Bovensiepen entitled "Depressive Complex<br />
Organisations in Narcissistic Disturbances."<br />
In September 2008 the Tri-national meeting took place in Berlin. Members of the<br />
German, Austrian, and Swiss Associations met to discuss the topic of "cultural<br />
complexes." A wide variety of lectures and workshops provided an opportunity to<br />
explore the issue in depth and to exchange our thoughts. <strong>The</strong> Swiss SGAP will host the<br />
next Tri-national meeting in three years.<br />
For our program in Continuing Education, Linda Briendl presented a provocative,<br />
praxis-oriented Seminar based on personal experience entitled, "A Creative Approach<br />
to Pictures in <strong>Jungian</strong> Psychotherapy". Two Balint meetings led by Dr. Stefan Alder<br />
were well attended.<br />
In the Fall of 2008 the first training program of Continuing Education in Analytical<br />
Supervision began, organized by a training committee consisting of Marco Della<br />
Chiesa, Henry Gros, Gary Hayes and Marianne Müller. This arose as a response to two<br />
needs: the training of Supervisors for analysts and therapists in private practice, as<br />
well formal training of supervisors at our Institutes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> training program is divided into modules that do service to various aspects of<br />
supervision, and that can be taken individually. This gives SGAP members the chance<br />
to qualify as supervisors in accordance with the requirements of the Swiss Charta of<br />
Psychotherapy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> demand for this training was substantial. Thirty colleagues began in October<br />
2008, divided into two groups. We are pleased that colleagues from all of<br />
Switzerland's linguistic groups are participating and it is encouraging that members of<br />
both of Switzerland's training Institutes are taking the course. Training for supervision<br />
constitutes an important contribution to the development of analytical psychology in<br />
Switzerland.<br />
<strong>The</strong> SGAP continues to further the dialogue between the individual institutions that<br />
are devoted to <strong>Jungian</strong> Psychology in Switzerland, and to pool existing resources in<br />
training and research.<br />

C.G. Jung Institute of Zürich<br />
We add here a report of the C.G. Jung Institute of Zürich. <strong>The</strong> SGAP having no<br />
training institute acknowledges the graduates of the Institute and those of ISAP<br />
ZÜRICH represented by AGAP. Based on our collaboration with the Institute and<br />
following an old tradition we asked its president for a report.<br />
Report from the C.G. Jung Institute of Zürich, Küsnacht, by Daniel Baumann:<br />
<strong>The</strong> 60th anniversary for the C. G. Jung Institute, 2008, was a particularly intensive<br />
and fruitful year. Aside from the regular program in analytical psychology, we held<br />
various additional events that were intended to interest a broader segment of the<br />
public.<br />
In February we convened a bilingual intercultural symposium that focused on "Religion<br />
and the Psyche in East and West". More than one hundred guests and participants<br />
from all five continents attended the event and engaged in an active and exciting<br />
exchange.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Institute’s 60th anniversary celebration, which was open to all alumni, faculty,<br />
students and friends of the C.G. Jung Institute of Zürich, may be described as a<br />
climax for the past year’s program. In cooperation with the Collegium Helveticum of<br />
the University of Zürich (UNIZH) and Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETHZ)<br />
as well as the Volkshochschule Zürich (VHSZH), we offered an extensive scientific<br />
program entitled: “At bottom, psyche simply is world” (C.G. Jung, Collected Works<br />
9/1, § 291). In addition to symposia, lectures, and a broad-based interdisciplinary<br />
exchange, we staged a weekend long festival at the Institute in June. Following a<br />
number of welcoming comments, Professor Daniel Hell, Ph.D. gave the main festival<br />
address (clinical director and head of the medical directorate of the University of<br />
Zürich’s Psychiatric Clinic). <strong>The</strong> afternoon was structured to offer a variety of events:<br />
interviews; reflections by students and faculty; films; as well as an exhibition of art<br />
from the Institute archives. <strong>The</strong> well-attended festival closed with an evening cruise<br />
and aperitif on Lake Zürich where the attendees enjoyed a sumptuous meal and live<br />
music with dancing.<br />

During the summer semester’s block program, in cooperation with the International<br />
Society for Sandplay <strong>The</strong>rapy (ISST), we held a well-attended Sandplay Week, in<br />
which a lively exchange developed between regular students, additional participants,<br />
and lecturers. <strong>The</strong> faculty, all both <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts and certified Sandplay therapists,<br />
provided outstanding quality for this groundbreaking cooperation.<br />
In addition to a rich inter-cultural and trans-disciplinary dialogue, all these unique<br />
events had the goal of supporting two important Institute tasks: the dissemination<br />
and defense of <strong>Jungian</strong> psychology and psychotherapy in a changing environment as<br />
well as promoting the exchange of the abundance and variety of <strong>Jungian</strong> approaches<br />
and ideas.<br />

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF PSYCHOTHERAPISTS (BAP)<br />
This is a challenging time for analytic trainings and clinicians in the United Kingdom,<br />
especially those looking to work more intensively with their patients. Our strategy has<br />
three principal components: to strengthen our scientific life, to refine our internal<br />
procedures and to develop a training and education ‘escalator’. All of these we have<br />
been pursuing within the past year.<br />
Our Jung Forum organises a programme of seminars, some for internal discussion<br />
others that are open to a wider audience. We have had clinical presentations on the<br />
illness of the analyst, on supervision, on depression. In addition we welcomed David<br />
Tacey to speak about the religiousness of Jung and Ann Shearer to discuss the role of<br />
mythology in training and clinical practice. Some of these explorations are explicit<br />
attempts to redress an imbalance within the developmental school that sees questions<br />
of religion, myth and spirituality relatively neglected.<br />
This was also our purpose in hosting a very successful conference, “<strong>The</strong> Self and the<br />
Sacred”, which incorporated a London staging of “<strong>The</strong> Letters”, the play based on the<br />
Jung/White correspondence. <strong>The</strong> production was excellent and it was delightful to<br />
welcome to London John Hill, Paul Brutsche, Heike Weis and Ann Lammers. Murray<br />
Stein, who introduced the performance, also gave an interesting and moving paper at<br />
the conference. High quality papers were also delivered by Chris MacKenna and Helen<br />
Morgan.<br />
In the coming year we look forward to Murray Stein joining us once again for a<br />
conference celebrating the anniversary of Jung’s paper “<strong>The</strong> Symbolic Life”. He will<br />
be paired on this occasion with Marilyn Mathew. We also await visits from Francois<br />
Martin-Vallas, speaking about incest and Robert Romanyshyn presenting a paper based<br />
on his book, <strong>The</strong> Wounded Researcher. <strong>The</strong> blend of our own internal speakers and<br />
figures from the wider <strong>Jungian</strong> world has been a very rich one over the last couple of<br />
years. It is something we will be looking to maintain.<br />
Encouraging BAP members to do their own writing and to pursue their own<br />
professional development has been another pre-occupation. Our organisation has a<br />
strong post-graduate life, but one that has, at times, become perceived as<br />
persecutory. <strong>The</strong> emphasis here has shifted towards the encouragement of growth and<br />
development, allowing members to fulfil their various potentials and to receive the<br />
recognition they deserve.<br />
This learning culture is being extended to our training and to the mix of external<br />
courses that range from introductions to high level clinical in-put for even the most<br />
grizzled of analysts. Our intention is to create an escalator model that gives people a<br />
way of building an analytic career, leading from their first curiosity to end of career<br />
pg. 69
seminars on planning for retirement. We are working to explore how we can<br />
responsibly accredit prior learning, while safe-guarding the rigour of analytic work.<br />
Over the next period of time these initiatives will continue. <strong>The</strong> opportunity for<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong>s to pursue a doctorate in child and adolescent psychotherapy is to be<br />
consolidated and the option of a doctorate will also be introduced into our adult<br />
training. <strong>The</strong> response to the challenges of this time is necessarily a vigorous one.<br />
This is both demanding and rewarding.<br />

INDEPENDENT GROUP OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS (IGAP)<br />
As Bill Burritt, our <strong>new</strong> convenor, said in his welcoming speech, it has been a year of<br />
transitions. Early in the year a long-time member of the group, Cara Denman, died,<br />
and as we mourn her passing, we have had an opportunity to reflect on the diverse<br />
contributions she has made to us in our personal and community life, as well as to the<br />
wider analytic field. Irene Cioffi-Whittfield has written a moving tribute to her, where<br />
she retells a remarkable event from when Cara was 12 years old. A free spirited<br />
country lass, she was fishing beside the river Wye, when she felt a powerful tug at her<br />
hook. After 2 full hours of struggling alone, completely exhausted, she pulled in an<br />
enormous fish - a portent image of her future life's work and an insight into the<br />
inspiration she gave us all. At the end, her human heart, which held a great sea filled<br />
with the troubles of others, failed her…but never us.<br />
We thank Oonagh Ribet for all her hard work, she hands over to Bill a well cared for<br />
growing group. We welcome Brian Stevenson as a full member and to council. Helen<br />
Freeman and Richard Lanham have completed our Program of Preparation.<br />
Congratulations and welcome. Bill reminds us that the vitality of the group is<br />
being sustained visibly by the acceptance of 3 <strong>new</strong> candidates this year, making 38<br />
people actively involved in preparation. Structurally, we have re-thought and put into<br />
place <strong>new</strong> procedures which we feel will see us through these times of change. We<br />
pg. 70
thank our Administrative Council for overseeing these developments and in particular<br />
Myfanwy, Johanna, and Robby for their endurance and foresight.<br />
Individual members have had another busy year. Penny Norris was a keynote speaker<br />
at Concordia University, Montreal. She presented a research paper "<strong>The</strong> Frankenstein<br />
Enigma; Between Saint and Monster: Mary Shelley- a Case History", and led a<br />
workshop called “<strong>The</strong> Compelling Libido of the Shadow”. Johanna David, is until<br />
March, part of the IAAP supervision team going to St. Petersburg. She continues to<br />
teach ongoing seminars in Hereford. Carmen Reynal's Gloucestershire group also<br />
continues to thrive, with yet again a list of interesting speakers. Ann Shearer gave a<br />
paper at the IAAP/ IAJS conference. Her chapter on "<strong>The</strong> Goddess <strong>The</strong>mis and Jung's<br />
Concept of the Self" was published in “Dreaming the Myth Onwards”. Her full length<br />
study of the Goddess <strong>The</strong>mis,co-authored with Pamela Donleavy, came out in the<br />
Summer, "From Ancient Myth to Modern Healing: <strong>The</strong>mis, Goddess of Heart, Soul,<br />
Justice and Reconciliation”. Elizabeth Gordon has joined the shuttle analysts working<br />
in St. Petersburg. Earlier this year, to raise money for the Russian Revival Fund, she<br />
walked with friends 200 miles from her home in Oxfordshire to Canterbury! She is also<br />
running regular fairytale/story-telling sessions with the staff of the Child and<br />
Adolescent Mental Health Unit in Andover Hospital. Ffiona von Westhoven Perigrinor<br />
continues with her extraordinary efforts to help train in Guangzhon, China. She writes<br />
so movingly of the courage these people have and the tenacity to overcome nearly<br />
everything except their wish to learn. Books, money and energy are needed to help<br />
her on this one woman adventure of heart, so if you have an interest, please get in<br />
touch with her.<br />
We thank everyone who has contributed to teaching, planning and making this year of<br />
transitions possible. Hope is in the air; please let it be the harbinger of needed<br />
change.<br />

THE SOCIETY OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (SAP)<br />
This year the Society has undertaken a major review of its future, its structure, its<br />
funding and its interface with the C.G. Jung Clinic. Four working groups reported back<br />
to Council with recommendations, and members’ and trainees’ opinions were<br />
canvassed through a questionnaire. <strong>The</strong> process so far has resulted in a discussion<br />
document outlining a range of options which could radically reshape the Society.<br />
Council’s wish is to keep 4x weekly analysis at the heart of the professional life of the<br />
SAP whilst exploring how to make our work less dependent on income from members’<br />
charitable commitment to donate Clinic patients’ fees to the Society. Over the<br />
coming months the membership will debate the pros and cons of the various options<br />
before voting on the matter.<br />
A second avenue of exploration has focused on the theme of diversity. We are<br />
concerned to increase inclusivity and to develop strategies to enable diverse groups to<br />
access training and SAP events. A working group has been established to present the<br />
theme to the membership through a discussion document and various forums and CPD<br />
events. We intend the subject to have an incremental impact to become expressed in<br />
all aspects of the Society’s work, including within the consulting room.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Society has engaged in a further process of discussion prompted by a proposal to<br />
establish an External Applications Programme. Members accepted the programme in<br />
January, following thoughtful and lively debate on the nature of analysis and<br />
intensive work, a theme which has continued since with specially convened ‘scientific<br />
meetings’. <strong>The</strong> programme means that suitably qualified and experienced IAAP<br />
members can apply to join the SAP through a route other than our four-year training.<br />
An External Applications Committee will start to process applications in 2009.<br />
This year we were delighted to accept five <strong>new</strong> trainees on to our training,<br />
particularly welcome after the last year’s failure to run a first-year. In an effort to<br />
ameliorate the financial hardship of the long training, this is the first year we have<br />
been able to offer a Training Bursary funded by the Adult Training Fund. A grant<br />
awarded to a first year trainee according to criteria of need not merit, it covers the<br />
four years of the training, with the annual amount increasing as the costs of training<br />
mount. <strong>The</strong> Society’s Supervision Course continues to flourish and now carries a <strong>new</strong><br />
two tier award: a Certificate to participants who complete the course but do not pass<br />
a written paper of 5,000 words, and a Diploma for those who pass both clinical and<br />
written components.<br />
<strong>The</strong> University Liaison Committee has provided liaison between the Society and the<br />
Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex in support of the<br />
Professional Doctorate. Five members of the SAP are now in the final stages of<br />
completing their theses and most aim to present them by the end of 2008. A further<br />
member of the SAP is enrolled on the PhD programme of the University.<br />
pg. 72
<strong>The</strong> Public Programme Committee has organised a broad range of talks in London,<br />
Oxford and Cambridge this year. <strong>The</strong> Society, together with the British<br />
Psychoanalytical Society and the Journal of Analytical Psychology also organised<br />
‘Freud Meets Jung: a Centenary Celebration’ in November 2007. Speakers and Chairs<br />
from all three organisations came together to celebrate this important moment in the<br />
history of psychoanalysis, and to explore similarities and differences in their current<br />
approaches to the conference theme: “Sexuality: Hysteria or Complex?”. <strong>The</strong> majority<br />
of the participants were from <strong>Jungian</strong> organisations.<br />
We have continued to step up our promotional work, in particular through the update<br />
and redesign of the Society’s website (www.thesap.org.uk) and the result is a <strong>new</strong>,<br />
elegant, user-friendly site.<br />
Looking externally, the move towards statutory registration continues and has<br />
provoked discussion and ongoing consultation as to what this will mean for the Society<br />
as a whole and for individual members. <strong>The</strong> timetable for the introduction of<br />
regulation is uncertain and it now seems that an application to join the Health<br />
Professions Council (HPC) may not go ahead until 2011. In the meantime some<br />
members of the Society have contributed to working groups developing National<br />
Occupational Standards for psychological therapies, while others have been exploring<br />
with the British Psychoanalytical Council, its future strategy in light of demands posed<br />
by statutory regulation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Journal of Analytical Psychology has had a busy and successful year. We continue<br />
to receive a large number of papers from all over the world. In April 2008, we<br />
published a special edition of papers from the 2007 IAAP conference in Cape Town on<br />
the theme of Africa; in June we published a themed edition on the self; A further<br />
edition on contemporary views of the self is planned for late 2009.<br />
In May the Journal’s XVIIIth International Conference took place in Italy at Lake Orta<br />
on the theme of ‘Tradition and Creativity: Reframing Analysis for a Changing World’.<br />
<strong>The</strong> conference was well attended with over 100 people participating from a total of<br />
17 countries worldwide, including six countries from the former East European<br />
Communist Bloc.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next Journal conference will be held in San Francisco from 29 th – 31 st May 2009 on<br />
the theme of ‘<strong>The</strong> Transcendent Function Today: Imagination and Psychic<br />
Transformation in Analysis’. Speakers include John Beebe, Gustav Bovensiepen, Mardi<br />
Ireland, Toshio Kawai, Marica Rytovaara, Joy Schaverien and Jan Wiener.<br />
Always keen to extend the international profile of the Journal, we welcome from<br />
2009 Viviane Thibaudier from Paris and Astrid Berg from South Africa to the Editorial<br />
Board. Thanks are due to all members of our Editorial Board and translators of<br />
abstracts who play such a vital role in fostering the international profile of the<br />
Journal. We offer particular thanks to Elizabeth Adametz our German translator since<br />
pg. 73
November 2004 who has recently given up the role, having taken on the position of<br />
editor-in-chief of Analytische Psychologie. We welcome her replacement, Robert<br />

structural internal and external changes proposals to ensure the Society’s creative<br />

THE C. G. JUNG INSTITUTE OF SAN FRANCISCO (CGJISF)<br />
Recent times in the life of our institute have been dynamic, in both senses of that<br />
word: creativity and change. We have a <strong>new</strong> President, Sam Kimbles, and we have a<br />
<strong>new</strong> Executive Director, Paula Taubman. Our former Executive Director, Stephen<br />
Manning, who was central to our process for more than a decade, left that post this<br />
summer.<br />
Within the Institute community, there has also been a focus on change and creative<br />
re<strong>new</strong>al. We are in the second year of looking at our training program in its entirety<br />
and are in the final stages of approving and implementing our first child analytic<br />
pg. 74
training program. We have found that the creation of a space to look at the training<br />
program and see how it might be improved and expanded has had a healthy impact on<br />
all aspects of our institutional life. We seem to be talking and listening to each other<br />
better than ever, and we are looking harder than ever at how we treat each other,<br />
taking the opportunity to learn and to grow. We have also been looking hard at what<br />
our place is in relation to the wider collective of depth psychology, and to what we<br />
owe the world. Our Board of Governors has found itself addressing, at its quarterly<br />
meetings, two related themes: how we might broaden our mission to include a larger<br />
awareness of the outer collective of depth psychology and its many areas of influence<br />
and how to relate to the increasing diversity of analytic identities within our institute.<br />
Among the recent highlights of our Extended Education program have been two well<br />
attended conferences covering a very wide field indeed--the big Art and Psyche<br />
Conference held in May, 2008 and the well attended day on Psyche, Politics, and<br />
Transformation this October just before the Presidential election.<br />
Our Institute’s publication, now titled Jung Journal: Culture and Psyche is in its first<br />
year being published by the University of California Press. Its entire contents,<br />
including its more than twenty-five years as <strong>The</strong> San Francisco Jung Institute Library<br />
Journal, are now available online.<br />
Our members continue to make important contributions to the field of analytical<br />
psychology that are filled with vigor and variety. A number of our analysts and<br />
candidates have participated in statewide, national and international meetings,<br />
including the big Academic Conference sponsored by the International Association for<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> Studies together with the IAAP at the ETH-Zürich in Switzerland this past<br />
July. Maria Ellen Chiaia contributed a chapter “<strong>The</strong> Field of Relationships in<br />
Supervision” to the <strong>new</strong> book, Supervision of Sandplay <strong>The</strong>rapy. Joan Chodorow wrote<br />
a chapter in Spanish, “Emociones Y Movemiento for the book, La Vida es Danza.”<br />
Brian Feldman wrote two chapters for recently published books, “<strong>The</strong> Observed Infant<br />
and the Analyst” and “Encountering Strangeness and Becoming Oneself: On the<br />
Emergence of Sexual Identity in Adolescence.” As co-author with Virginia Apperson,<br />
an Atlanta analyst, John Beebe published a volume that reflects his lifelong interest<br />
in how psyche makes its appearance at the movies, <strong>The</strong> Presence of the Feminine in<br />
Film.<br />

C. G. JUNG INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES (CGJILA)<br />
This year we put the finishing touches on our beautiful renovations, creating an<br />
ambient atmosphere in the James Kirsch Rom where we hold training seminars and<br />
events, public programs, board and <strong>society</strong> meetings. In this lovely space we host<br />
visiting analysts and our <strong>society</strong> meetings have become dinner events. Each semester,<br />
the training program hosts analytic forums at which candidates make a presentation<br />
and we all enjoy dinner together.<br />
We have gone through a major governance transition this year. In July, 2007 our<br />
Executive Director, Robyn Winslow, who is also one of our analysts, became ill and<br />
the President, Nancy Furlotti, Vice President, Chie Lee, Chair of Personnel, Elizabeth<br />
pg. 76
Strahan, and I became the co-executive directors until September, 2008 when we<br />
hired a <strong>new</strong> Executive Director. In dividing up the responsibilities, each of us agreed<br />
to care for an area and with the intense focus on specific areas, we discovered many<br />
possibilities for adjustments. Particular appreciation goes to Chie who took up the<br />
care of our facility (low-fee clinic, bookstore, library, lecture room and administrative<br />
offices). Working with a contractor, she completed the renovations and arranged to<br />
have our broken city sidewalk repaired, a job the city told us that we might be on the<br />
list for them to provide the repairs in about ten years or so.<br />
Our <strong>new</strong> Executive Director, Christophe Le Mouel, Ph.D. comes to us from Paris with a<br />
Ph.D. in Quantum Physics and a graduate degree in Computer Science. He is<br />
interested in the relationship between physics and the psyche and has lectured in<br />
Spain, Australia, and at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles on synchronicity and<br />
the relationship between physics and <strong>Jungian</strong> Psychology. Currently, he is building a<br />
gorgeous <strong>new</strong> website for us, starting with the data base and we are looking forward<br />
to being able to eventually putting our bookstore on-line, along with the capability of<br />
registering on-line for our public programs and allowing people to download lectures.<br />
Christophe began his tenure with us as a volunteer while he was waiting for his Work<br />
Permit to stay in the USA and was hired as our Public Programs Coordinator last<br />
September. In that role, working closely with the Chair of Public Programs, Wendy<br />
Wyman, who arranges the program, he was able to greatly reduce the cost of our<br />
brochure while at the same time, increasing its attractiveness and appeal. Using<br />
focused e-mail advertising with a monthly <strong><strong>new</strong>sletter</strong> and well-placed flyers, he<br />
greatly increased our attendance at lectures and Saturday workshops. Another change<br />
in governance resulted when he was promoted to Executive Director in that we<br />
eliminated the position of Public Programs Coordinator, which allows us to achieve a<br />
major cost saving in these economically perilous times. Wendy and Christophe will<br />
continue to work together in developing and supervising public programs and we have<br />
hired two assistants, one who serves as events host when we actually host a program<br />
and another who assists with marketing and outreach 10-15 hours a week, seeing to<br />
the layout, publication and mailing of our brochure each quarter.<br />
A major accomplishment this year has been to obtain APA (American Psychological<br />
Association) Continuing Education Approval for our training program and for public<br />
programs. Wendy, with the assistance of our Training Director, Connie Crosby, made<br />
Herculean efforts to develop objectives and learning assessments for every seminar<br />
and workshop that we offer. A sad note was that we gave up our CME approval to<br />
provide Continuing Education for physicians, which we have carried since our<br />
inception. However, with the current emphasis in medicine on evidence based<br />
treatment models we are no longer able to meet the Continuing Education<br />
Requirements set forth by the Board of Medical Quality Control.<br />
Both our Public Programs and our Training Program continue to flourish. We offer a<br />
full spectrum of lectures and workshops every quarter and we have accepted four <strong>new</strong><br />
candidates into the analyst-training-program this year. Our low-fee clinic is also<br />
pg. 77
provides training for interns completing their licensing requirements. Interns stay with<br />
us for two years and we currently have six on board, four who are <strong>new</strong> this year.<br />
Analysts continue to contribute innumerable hours supervising, teaching seminars,<br />
lecturing, and serving on committees and on the board with enthusiasm and good will.<br />
This year, one of our candidates, David Eidenberg, Psy.D. completed training and was<br />
certified. David was also the presenter at our Fall analytic forum and has thrown<br />
himself into the work of the Institute wholeheartedly, serving on several committees.<br />

C G JUNG STUDY CENTER OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (CGSCSC)<br />
In October of 2008, the C G Jung Study Center of Southern California was privileged to<br />
welcome Barbara Sadak, Ph.D., as a <strong>new</strong> analyst. Dr. Sadak presented a beautiful<br />
paper to the students and analysts at the annual Fall Gathering.<br />
We also welcomed four <strong>new</strong> students to the Analyst Training Program. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
Jacqueline Feather, Renate Kerris, Susan McGuire, and Katherine Odesmith. Nard<br />
Michals and Joyce Heyraud continue as Co-coordinators of Training and have<br />
organized an excellent year of courses in the Analytic Training program.<br />
This year, the C G Jung Study Center established the Edward F. Edinger Lectureship,<br />
which features periodically a public lecture on a topic close to Dr. Edinger's concern<br />
for the reality of the psyche. <strong>The</strong> Edward F. Edinger Lectureship is funded by gifts to<br />
the Study Center. <strong>The</strong> Study Center Analytic Training program and public events are<br />
now published on our <strong>new</strong>ly established website: www.jungstudycenter.org.<br />
This year, the C G Jung Study Center has been engaged in a discussion among the<br />
analysts about the process of holding and respecting our individual connection to the<br />
Self within the group. We have been discussing how to convey and support honouring<br />
the individual connection to the Self in our Analytic Training program.<br />
pg. 78
<strong>The</strong> C G Jung Study Center is in the process of organizing a public showing of Frazer<br />
Boa’s film “<strong>The</strong> Way of the Dream”, on January 17 and 18, 2009. <strong>The</strong> film screening<br />
will be moderated by Marion Woodman with Ross Woodman and Meg Wilbur. We are<br />
excited to have the opportunity to bring Marie Louise Von Franz to a wider audience<br />
in a medium through which she can be understood and appreciated. As von Franz puts<br />
it: "Dreams show us how to find meaning in our lives, how to fulfill our own destiny,<br />
and how to realize the greater potential of life within us."<br />

SOCIETY OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS OF SAN DIEGO (SJASD)<br />
<strong>The</strong> San Diego Society of <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts meets in Katie Sanford’s home with its<br />
beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. Our main order of business this year was to<br />
welcome two <strong>new</strong> analyst members: Dr. Barbara Sadak and Dr. Charles Asher. Dr.<br />
Sadak has completed her training at the C.G. Jung Study Center of Southern<br />
California. She currently maintains a private practice in San Diego. Dr. Asher is the<br />
former provost at Pacifica Graduate School in Santa Barbara. He has relocated to<br />
North San Diego County. We are pleased to welcome these two analysts into our<br />
Society.<br />
Our analyst meetings center on a topic, which we agree to discuss ahead of time; for<br />
example, Barbara Hannah’s lecture “On <strong>The</strong> Beyond” has been the focus of a few<br />
meetings. Also, Katie Sanford presented a series of dreams that a client of hers<br />
worked on the two years leading up to her death. Katie illustrated that the psyche<br />
anticipates the body passing. In addition, Katie showed that her client experienced a<br />
great deal of meaning and purpose from her analysis in the last year of her life. This<br />
led to rich and profound discussion in our <strong>society</strong> meetings including personal sharing<br />
around illness and death.<br />
Betty Meador and Katie Sanford have lectured extensively this year. Katie has<br />
lectured on her book, “<strong>The</strong> Serpent and the Cross: Healing the Split through Active<br />
pg. 79
Imagination”. She has lectured to large and enthusiastic audiences. Betty Meador has<br />
lectured on material from her recently published third book, “Princess, Priestess,<br />
Poet – <strong>The</strong> Sumerian Temple Hymns of Enheduanna.”<br />

JUNGIAN ANALYSTS OF THE WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION (JAWA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts of Washington Association (JAWA) has had a very productive year<br />
in providing educational opportunities to the Washington area clinicians and<br />
deepening our commitment to the public as well as to our organization. We have had<br />
a unique role in providing 4 seminars to clinicians which have directly influences<br />
several students to move forward in applying and participating in <strong>Jungian</strong> Institutes<br />
and enhancing their desires to explore <strong>Jungian</strong> work with clients. Our work with the<br />
Washington <strong>Jungian</strong> Society providing lectures, courses and workshops to the general<br />
public continues as it has for many years. In June, we held a Retreat for members<br />
only at a lovely location by the waters of the Chesapeake Bay; all left feeling uplifted<br />
and re<strong>new</strong>ed by the experience.<br />
We are privileged to host the 2009 CNASJA conference that will be held in the<br />
Washington, D.C. area October 2-4 and have a very enthusiastic and effective<br />
Planning Committee working hard to ensure a positive experience for all as well as to<br />
focus valuable energy our Nation’s Capitol during this time of transition of power.<br />
Please join us in this important time!<br />

Sadly, we lost a vital member of JAWA, Jim Barnett, who we are still missing. He was<br />
very active in a number of <strong>Jungian</strong> groups in Dallas, North Caroline as well as the<br />
Inter-Regional Society of <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysis (IRSJA). He particularly opened his home to<br />
us during the Christmas season and a good time was had by all! We celebrate his life<br />
and honor the work that continues from his efforts.<br />

THE GEORGIA ASSOCIATION OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (GAJA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Georgia Association of <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts is a funny, nomadic melting pot. We are<br />
small in numbers (8 members), but rich in diversity. GAJA’s membership comes from<br />
four different states (Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina). Three of<br />
our members have deep roots overseas (France, Germany and Italy). Our <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
training experience further reflects our cross-cultural backgrounds (Zürich, IRSJA, and<br />
New York), as do our present <strong>Jungian</strong> commitments (teaching and leadership<br />
commitments in IRSJA, AGAP and ISAP, as well as, writing projects with colleagues,<br />
including Virginia Apperson’s <strong>The</strong> Presence of the Feminine in Film co-authored with<br />
John Beebe).<br />
We, like so many, are spread thin. Our limited time together as a group on a bimonthly<br />
basis is spent building community, discussing papers and cases, and sharing<br />
our own creative endeavors. In light of our patchwork nature, it seems to be nonaccidental<br />
that our <strong>new</strong>est member has created some magnificent quilts that reflect<br />
her life story. We truly are a piece of work and a work in progress.<br />

C. G. JUNG INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO (CSJA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> last year has marked a period of development and change for the Institute. In<br />
September two <strong>new</strong> analysts, Lorna Crowl and Gregory Dray graduated from the<br />
Analyst Training Program and were welcomed into the Chicago Society of <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
Analysts. Earlier in the year the second cohort of the Institute’s Clinical Training<br />
Program graduated, and a <strong>new</strong> class of was admitted to the two-year program. <strong>The</strong><br />
other major development in the area of training was a decision on the part of the<br />
Society membership to move the Analyst Training Program to a weekend model,<br />
meeting once a month rather than the current weekly meeting. This decision was<br />
taken after an extensive review of the current program and an assessment of<br />
attitudes toward the <strong>new</strong> program.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Institute also completely rebuilt its web site under the direction of Gus Cwik,<br />
allowing the members of the Institute to easily post courses and other information. An<br />
interactive search tool allows individuals to locate analysts in their geographic area,<br />
or with special qualifications suited to their needs. <strong>The</strong> web site also upgrades the<br />
Institute’s ability to provide recordings of lectures given at the Institute, and we look<br />
forward in the near future to providing MP-3 downloads of lectures. We welcome<br />
visitors to the site: www.jungchicago.org.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Institute continued to host major lectures by <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts, this year including<br />
Murray Stein, Sylvia Perera and Donald Kalsched. Analysts from Chicago have also<br />
lectured at a variety of conferences and meetings, both in the US and in Europe.<br />
Several members of the Institute have published papers in the Journal of Analytical<br />
Psychology or other journals.<br />
pg. 82
In the coming year the Institute will sponsor a conference on March <strong>28</strong>, 2009, entitled<br />
“Healing the Soul in the Age of the Brain, with psychoanalyst Elio Frattaroli, M.D. as<br />
the featured speaker. Complete details are available on the web site.<br />

THE INTER-REGIONAL SOCIETY OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (IRSJA)<br />
Our spring conference of 2008 was held once again amidst a beautiful backdrop of<br />
clear skies and the sight of snow-covered mountains in Boulder, Colorado. This<br />
location continues to be the home for our spring meetings that traditionally focus on<br />
the oversight of propaedeuticum and final case exams, and theses, as well as the<br />
admission of <strong>new</strong> candidates. At the same time, this meeting is aimed at nurturing<br />
our own analytic community through formal presentations of case material from<br />
members of our <strong>society</strong>. <strong>The</strong> capacity for I-RSJA to maintain quality of training along<br />
with the need to continue to develop our own analytic depths speaks to our<br />
investment in growth throughout this <strong>society</strong>.<br />
This spring meeting saw the transition of leadership in the Executive Committee. Our<br />
<strong>new</strong> officers are President Tim Sanderson, Vice President Pat Berry, Training Director<br />
Nancy Dougherty, Admissions Director Jacqueline Wright, Treasurer Medora Woods,<br />
and Secretary Ronnie Landau. This Executive Committee, “voted into” office in<br />
Louisville, Kentucky, in fall of 2007, decided to arrive a day early to our spring 2008<br />
meeting. <strong>The</strong> intention was to spend quality time together in order discuss our visions<br />
for the <strong>society</strong>. What emerged was then shared with the broader <strong>society</strong>: Our need to<br />
hold the tension between moving towards a corporate style of organization and<br />
containing the space for more organic development that allows room for psyche to<br />
flow. This continues to be a serious challenge for I-RSJA as we grow rapidly in size.<br />
We consider this struggle to mirror our culture worldwide.<br />
pg. 83
<strong>The</strong> theme for our spring conference of 2008 circumambulated the topic of “Secrets.”<br />
Jacqueline Zeller Levine presented a case to the analysts, “Secrets in the Analytic<br />
Process”, and Jutta von Buchholtz discussed a case entitled “Mystery/Secrets of the<br />
Right and Left hand.” Pamela Powers and Claire Allphin brought us two papers,<br />
“Unbearable Countertransference” (Powers) and “Unspeakable Transferences”<br />
(Allphin). Both analysts and candidates were present for these papers. Following<br />
these papers, the entire <strong>society</strong> broke into small groups to explore further the value<br />
of making conscious this matter of “secrets.” <strong>The</strong> Training Committee contributed to<br />
this exploration and presented a panel of senior analysts who discussed “How We<br />
Challenge Each Other and are Challenged on Committees.” Our program concluded<br />
with a lecture by Patrizia Michan on “Analysis and Individuation in the Mexican<br />
Psyche: Culture and Context.” <strong>The</strong> Alchemy Interest Group continues to meet<br />
informally to provide a space for diversity of study. Our <strong>society</strong> was asked to come<br />
together to mourn the loss of three esteemed members, Eugene Qualls, James<br />
Barnett, and Eugene Monick. Analyst Janet Dallett led us in a very meaningful and<br />
moving remembrance ceremony in honor of them.<br />
Finally, on a lighter note, perhaps a bit Dionysian, we ended the spirit of our spring<br />
conference with celebration, dancing to the tunes of Deja Blu Dance Band. We<br />
admitted four <strong>new</strong> candidates who completed training and were awarded diplomas:<br />
Mary Bachman Burke, Tim Pilgrim, James Michel and Stewart Gabel. We also accepted<br />
into training five <strong>new</strong> candidates: Gretchen Deters-Smith (Florida), Mark Dean<br />
(Philadelphia), Linda Denniston (Arizona), Peggy Hanson (Minnesota), and Larry<br />
Rayburn (New Mexico).<br />
<strong>The</strong> I-RSJA convened its fall 2008 conference in Virginia Beach,Virginia. Our <strong>society</strong><br />
maintains an interest in selecting places to meet whenever possible that bring us<br />
closer to nature. <strong>The</strong> theme for this conference was timely, “Fundamental-isms.” We<br />
met less than a month before the election of the next president of the United States.<br />
<strong>The</strong> atmosphere of the election carried us on a wave into this conference topic with<br />
pathos, anxiety, hope and a quest for greater consciousness. <strong>The</strong> Training Committee<br />
introduced the important topic of reviewing requirements for final case exams. Tom<br />
Kelly, Gus Cwik, and Lyn Cowan offered divergent thoughts and philosophies. <strong>The</strong> I-<br />
RSJA strives towards an open process of reflecting on the nature of our training<br />
program. We feasted upon fascinating and penetrating papers on our theme of<br />
“Fundamental-isms” beginning with James Yandell’s “Graven Images, Idolatry in<br />
Religion and Politics.” A panel of alchemists consisting of Janet Muff, Maury Krasnow,<br />
Gus Cwik, Monika Wikman, Stan Marlan, moderator, and Charles Zeltzer presented on<br />
”Fundamentals and Fundamentalisms.” Wynette Barton spoke to us about “What’s<br />
Fundamental about Fundamentalism” and Eberhard Riedel offered “Fundamentalism<br />
and the Quest for the Grail: the Parzival Myth as a Postmodern Redemption Story.”<br />
We heard two moving papers on “Beyond Fundamentalisms: Of Dancing Angels and<br />
Apocalyptic Times” by Marilyn Matthews and Medora Woods. Tom Lavin and Ben Toole<br />
offered “Black Belt Fundamentalists.” We finished with “<strong>The</strong> Mechanization of<br />
Psychotherapy/Possible Alternatives” by Frances Parks and Robert Romanyshyn’s,<br />
“Epistomological Violence.” No doubt one can appreciate the intensity and relevance<br />
pg. 84
of this topic to this moment in our history as expressed by the number of papers<br />
offered and the depth and breadth of their content. It speaks!<br />
We moved from our serious concerns about the condition of psyche both individual<br />
and collective to gather for our traditional “Open Mic” evening. More candidates and<br />
analysts are choosing to present their artistic talents ranging from poetry, painting,<br />
photography, music, singing, acting, and comedy. This unique event brings us<br />
together with Eros and appreciation of the creative spirit. Our conference concluded<br />
with our banquet and the wonderful music of the band, Tidewater Drive where many<br />
of us were pulled to the floor by our dancing feet.<br />
I-RSJA continues to keep its eye not only on our concerns, but also on what delights<br />
us, allowing the psyche to do what psyche does, flow to its own rhythm.<br />

NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (NESJA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> New England Society of <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts (NESJA) and its training institute, <strong>The</strong><br />
C.G. Jung Institute – Boston, continue to thrive while yet facing significant challenges<br />
in the year ahead.<br />
Our <strong>society</strong> recently hosted the Council of North American Societies of <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
Analysts (CNASJA) delegates meeting and conference, the latter of which was entitled<br />
“Explosions and Containment: Our World in Crisis.” 120 analysts, candidates in<br />
training, and other professionals attended the conference, traveling from across the<br />
Americas and Europe to join us in the picturesque New England ocean-side resort of<br />
Sebasco Estates, Maine. <strong>The</strong> setting was conducive to generating a real sense of<br />
warmth and spirit of collegiality amongst analysts and trainees alike. <strong>The</strong> latter felt<br />
welcomed and well supported, financially and otherwise, by our Society and training<br />
program. All agreed that the conference presentations were of a consistently high<br />
quality throughout. One of the many highlights was our own Chris Beach leading a<br />
field trip to nearby Bailey Island, summer residence to New York analysts Drs. Kristine<br />
Mann, Eleanor Bertine, and Esther Harding, and site of Jung’s six day lecture series on<br />
Pauli’s dreams presented in 1936. A festive Saturday evening was marked by a<br />
traditional New England lobster bake and a night of dancing to the drumming of the<br />
women’s group, Inana. We are all grateful for the year-long dedication and hard work<br />
of the planning committee - Sarah Halford, Hope Murrow, Pam Donleavy, Pat Berry,<br />
and Cornelia Dimmitt – the contributions of Stuart Sherman for facilitating continuing<br />
education credits for the conference, and the expert guidance and direction of Toni<br />
D’Anca, conference coordinator, in making the conference the great success that it<br />
assuredly was.<br />
NESJA and our training institute, the C. G. Jung Institute of Boston, continue to grow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Society now boasts 76 members. At our Fall meeting we welcomed two of our<br />
recent graduates, Deborah Gregory and William Furber, into our Society. Deborah’s<br />
pg. 86
diploma thesis is on the money complex, seen historically, against the contemporary<br />
backdrop of American culture, and in clinical practice. William’s thesis is on the<br />
development of the anima at midlife, and as seen against the mythic background of<br />
<strong>The</strong> Odyssey. Prior to our formal business meeting, many of us had the pleasure of<br />
joining with Rainer Kohler in a lively discussion of his paper, “Archetypes and<br />
Complexes in the Womb.” It is a fascinating and timely paper which can also be<br />
viewed online on <strong>The</strong> Jung Page (www.cgjungpage.org) .<br />
This Fall the Institute has admitted four <strong>new</strong> candidates to training, while graduating<br />
two others, as noted above. We currently have 30 candidates in training, the<br />
maximum number we feel we can serve effectively. This November we are expanding<br />
our teaching offerings by inviting two analysts from other Institutes: Paul Brutsche<br />
from Switzerland who will offer a two-day intensive workshop on picture<br />
interpretation, and Margaret Wilkinson from England who will offer a one-day seminar<br />
on neuroscience and early relational trauma. We hope to be able to continue this<br />
practice in the future.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Society’s Public Programs, which are open to all who are interested, and our<br />
Summer Intensive Program, which is geared particularly to clinicians of other<br />
traditions, continue to draw good numbers and reflect positive trends in growth over<br />
the last several years. As for space issues, the lease on our current rented Institute<br />
space will be up in 2010, so in early 2009 we will again start exploring the possibilities<br />
of buying a place of our own for the joint use of NESJA Programs and the Institute.<br />
We continue to be challenged by proposed legislative changes in Massachusetts – and<br />
now Maine - that would restrict the practice of psychotherapy to the licensed mental<br />
health professions. Historically, our Institute has trained qualified individuals who<br />
have a master’s degree or higher in any discipline. But this practice, which we believe<br />
to be true to the spirit of Jung’s intent, is being severely tested here as elsewhere<br />
across the country, and in what seems to be a growing trend. Chris Beach and William<br />
Furber have begun investigating options available for analyst practitioners in Maine. In<br />
Massachusetts, Pam Donleavy - together with representatives from the Boston<br />
Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and a professional lobbyist whose cost we share -<br />
continues to spearhead our Society and Institute’s effort to either get an exemption<br />
for our analysts and candidates, or to defeat the legislation as submitted. While our<br />
intensive and expensive lobbying efforts have been successful to date - current<br />
legislative proposals are stalled in committee - similar restrictive proposals from<br />
other quarters are on the horizon. This critical and defining issue for our Society and<br />
Institute will continue to present itself now and in the years ahead.<br />
In order to meet this challenge in a responsible and effective manner, we as a Society<br />
continue to encourage efforts on the national and international level to articulate<br />
agreed upon minimum standards for training, and so that the qualifications of being a<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> analyst are clearly recognized and respected in the professional, public and<br />
legal arenas of which we are a part. Within our own Society, and as part of this<br />
pg. 87
effort, we continue to work together to develop a more comprehensive and viable<br />
code of ethics, and an ethics process.<br />

<strong>Jungian</strong> Perspective.” <strong>The</strong> program offers no certification and participants can and do<br />
return year after year.<br />
Our 23 Institute members are from Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Taos, and Phoenix. With<br />
our Analyst Training Program continuing to be on hold, we are focusing on community<br />
and our inner and outer identity. <strong>The</strong> monthly business meetings include time for<br />
open discussion on these issues, which are ever present for us. We have retreats twice<br />
a year for two days in which we live away from home and “chase the shadow.” Our<br />
Vision Days, separate from our business meetings, allow us to wander and wonder<br />
through thoughts, dreams and wishes for the Institute.<br />
We have one <strong>new</strong> member, Elizabeth Retivov, MSW, from New York.<br />
Several other analysts have moved to New Mexico from other states and other<br />
Institutes and we continue to have twice a year brunches with these area analysts to<br />
maintain close contact and dialogue.<br />
2008-2009 looks to be a full and enriching year.<br />

THE NEW YORK ASSOCIATION FOR ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (NYAAP)<br />
<strong>The</strong> resignation of the NYAAP President created some turmoil in New York but the<br />
Institute is thriving. Our analysts are doing a good job of handing the economic and<br />
psychological chaos that clients are bringing to their sessions. Our roster of classes<br />
prepares candidates to take the New York State licensing examination as well to<br />
become <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts. Three candidates passed their written and oral midprogram<br />
exams and are entering Control Stage.<br />
Ashok Bedi, MD, <strong>Jungian</strong> Analyst from Wisconsin, gave an extra-curricular seminar on<br />
the relevance of Hindu symbolism and Kundalini energies in analytic practice to<br />
candidates as well as a moving talk to NYAAP on Jung and India. Joan Chodorow from<br />
California presented another two-day seminar at the Institute on Moving Active<br />
Imagination in Analysis.<br />

JUNGIAN PSYCHOANALYTIC ASSOCIATION (JPA)<br />
Now in its fifth year, the <strong>Jungian</strong> Psychoanalytic Association continues to grow and<br />
develop its training philosophy. We now number 37 analysts, and have 24<br />
candidates matriculated for this academic year, with two others on leave of absence.<br />
New members have come from the New York area , from other locales in the U.S. and<br />

abroad, and from three of our own graduates as members. This year JPA welcomed<br />
<strong>new</strong> member Sivanie Shiran and <strong>new</strong> graduate Lee Robbins. Lee presented her thesis<br />
project, “Archetypal Parenting: Towards a Reverie of Origins” at our Fall Weekend<br />
colloquium in Rhinebeck, New York.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second annual Philip T. Zabriskie Lecture took place on November 22, 2008.<br />
James Hillman delivered “Aphrodite's Justice to an audience of approximately 380<br />
people. We were pleased to see many from within and outside the <strong>Jungian</strong> community<br />
in attendance.<br />
A number of JPA members attended the CNASJA conference in Sebasco, Maine, and<br />
two of our members presented papers. Melinda Haas’ paper was entitled “Can Music<br />
Save the World?”, and Alan Jones delivered “<strong>The</strong> Fate of 'Symbol' in <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
Discourse”.<br />
We are hoping soon to receive accreditation by the State of New York to train<br />
individuals who are not otherwise already licensed to be psychoanalysts. Many thanks<br />

NORTH CAROLINA SOCIETY OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (NCSJA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> North Carolina Society of <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts convened for its annual meeting on<br />
Saturday, September 27 th at the Siena Hotel in Chapel Hill.<br />
It is worthy of note that the general environment of our meeting was shaped by a<br />
surprising shortage of gasoline and, more threateningly, by the bad <strong>new</strong>s of increasing<br />
difficulties in the country’s banking system. Disruptive weather along the US Gulf<br />
coast hampered normal distribution of gasoline, leading to shortages that significantly<br />
impacted the southeast and North Carolina in particular.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n, on this morning of the annual meeting, a prominent North Carolina-based bank,<br />
Wachovia, made headlines announcing its failure. This brought home the reality of a<br />
possible catastrophic collapse of the US and international monetary system.<br />
It is not possible to determine how those external events influenced our meeting<br />
except to say that we were confronted with reminders of the transitory forms of this<br />
world in juxtaposition with the perspective of our profession that daily encounters<br />
deeper archetypal realities in our psyches and those of our analysands. Jung refers to<br />
these realities as “beneficent for us that ever and anon have enabled humanity to<br />
find a refuge from every peril and to outlive the longest night” (CW Vol. 15, par. 15).<br />
Meeting at such an intersection of cultural and archetypal dynamics made even more<br />
meaningful the typical opening of the <strong>society</strong>’s meeting when members share<br />
something of their personal and professional experiences over the past year. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>society</strong> has traditionally affirmed a tradition of group process that strives for a<br />
balance between attention to task and to relationships; to spontaneity and to<br />
procedure; gravity and humor.<br />
Two of the significant items on our business agenda were the welcoming of Dorothy<br />
Campbell (see below) into NCSJA, and also a discussion of the Asheville Jung Center<br />
(not affiliated with NCSJA) and its sponsorship of a series of internationally telecast<br />
seminars. A lengthy discussion about the center aired many perspectives and concerns<br />
that might have significance for the greater <strong>Jungian</strong> community. For that reason, a<br />
motion was made and unanimously passed that a letter be sent to the IAAP Executive<br />
Committee to consider these concerns.<br />
Following our morning session and lunch, we concluded our business meeting. <strong>The</strong><br />
afternoon program was devoted to the timely topic: “Analyze This: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Jungian</strong> House<br />
2008.” David Sedgwick, Julia Jewett, and Terrence Lee each made challenging<br />
presentations, viewing our “<strong>Jungian</strong> House” from cultural, personal, and professional<br />
perspectives. Reminding us, as Dorothy says in the Wizard of Oz, that we are “not in<br />
Kansas anymore,” the presentation stretched us to look beyond our old boundaries<br />
toward an emerging future that threatens and entices.<br />

OHIO VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (OVAJA)<br />
After seven years of growth and development as an “official” association, and a<br />
change of officers, we have been looking at ourselves in the mirror and asking: Are we<br />
who we said we were? If so, are we still committed to that? If not, how would we<br />
amend our stated purpose? We are pleased to be nearly finished with the necessary<br />
but tiresome task connected with maintaining ourselves as a Society, namely,<br />
“updating” all our documents (Code of Ethics and Guidelines, Bylaws, and<br />
Constitution). So where is our energy as a group now?<br />
Ironically, as our membership is getting bigger (we have 10 members now), our focus<br />
is getting a bit smaller. We have abandoned some of our loftier ambitions, preferring<br />
instead to draw our attention to the essential – our own souls. To this end we have<br />
amended our purpose statement, topping the common “promoting the study of<br />
analytical psychology” and “promoting high standards of practice” with a seemingly<br />
rather simple idea: we exist as a Society foremost “to provide the opportunity for<br />
members to support each other’s individuation – as persons, as analysts, and as<br />
members of an individuating organization.” We’ll let you know how it goes….<br />
Another change we have adopted -- as a way of addressing the varying levels of<br />
member interest and participation in our Society’s business meetings and professional<br />
programs -- is the establishment of three distinct types of membership: full,<br />
associate, and honorary. Briefly, full membership is held by those members who hold<br />
their IAAP voting rights with us, while associate membership is held by those whose<br />
voting rights are with another IAAP Society. Along with that difference, associate<br />
pg. 93
members are exempt from the requirement to attend meetings but may vote when<br />
present, and are not eligible to hold office. Honorary members, voted to that status,<br />
are non-voting and exempt from both dues and attendance but receive all<br />
communications and are welcome to attend regular meetings. This change seemed to<br />
easily resolve tensions around lack of attendance at meetings by some inactive<br />
members on our roster.<br />
Lastly, I would like to publicly acknowledge gratitude to two of our members: Richard<br />
Sweeney, who led us through the founding of our Society in 2001 (we had been<br />
meeting informally for about seven years prior to that) and served as our first chair;<br />
and Paulette Toth, who served as OVAJA’s delegate to the Cape Town Congress last<br />
year.<br />

PACIFIC NORTHWEST SOCIETY OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (PNSJA)<br />
Greetings from the Pacific Northwest!<br />
As I write this, we are in the dark season of weather in the Pacific Northwest. It’s<br />
often overcast, rainy, and chilly, but I still prefer it to the weather of my youth in<br />
upstate New York where, though sunny, fall was truly cold and we k<strong>new</strong> much snow<br />
was soon coming!<br />

<strong>The</strong> PNSJA web site (www.pnsja.com) continues into its second year, and it contains<br />
our mission statement, biographies (including pictures) of our analysts, and a<br />
summary of our ongoing educational events. Please refer to it for all general<br />
information about PNSJA.<br />
Our <strong>society</strong> elected <strong>new</strong> officers in October 2008 during our fall meeting at the<br />
beautiful Oregon coast. Our terms of office run for a period of two years. Anna Lyons-<br />
Roost was elected President, as Mark Girard had finished his second term as President<br />
and according to our <strong>society</strong>’s bylaws, was required to step down as President. Robert<br />
Stuckey was elected Vice President, as Bonnie McLean, after serving in a distinguished<br />
way for the past four years, was stepping down as Vice President. (Our <strong>society</strong> thanks<br />
Bonnie for all the hard and diligent work she has done these last years.) Jim Soliday<br />
was again elected as Treasurer, and Jenny Gordon will continue as Secretary.<br />
PNSJA is now in our second year of our “Jung in Depth” seminar series, which began<br />
in September of 2007. <strong>The</strong> class is again meeting once a month, beginning in<br />
September 2008, for nine months of a seminar-style program. Each seminar session is<br />
run by one of our analyst members, and each covers one fundamental topic in <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
psychology. Similar to the first year, our second year program generated an overflow<br />
of interest, requiring us to run two seminar sections on consecutive days of each<br />
month. <strong>The</strong> seminar participants are mostly seasoned psychotherapists, all of whom<br />
have a long-term interest in developing better knowledge and skills related to <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
psychology and depth psychology in general.<br />
PNSJA continues to explore the various models of analytic candidate training that are<br />
appropriate for our small group. We sometimes refer to this investigative group<br />
process as our “Journey to the Center” group, which has been meeting for about<br />
three years. We have been examining various training models along the continuum<br />
from a mentorship model of training to a more structured and traditional training<br />
model. At the last meeting of our “Journey to the Center” group, most of our group<br />
members tentatively arrived at a mid-point model between the two poles – a model in<br />
which a trainee would have both a mentor for individualized training and also a more<br />
structured series of mandatory seminars and/or practica.<br />
<strong>The</strong> overall question that PNSJA has been posing to itself, which includes the question<br />
of whether to train analytic candidates or not, is “What is our relationship to the<br />
larger <strong>Jungian</strong> community, and to the general psychotherapeutic and lay<br />
communities?” Over the past few years, we have begun to emerge from our selfimposed<br />
introverted group process (which we referred to as as “inside-out”<br />
approach), which was very rich and fruitful for most of our members. We have now<br />
embarked on a more extraverted orientation (which we call our “outside-in”<br />
approach) in relation to the larger community. From both perspectives, we have<br />
rigorously pondered the question of what our role should be, both as a <strong>society</strong> of<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> analysts and as a <strong>Jungian</strong> training institute. We feel we have made some good<br />
pg. 95
progress in our quest, as evidenced by our successful “Jung in Depth” seminar series,<br />
which has received very positive feedback from our participants.<br />

Janet Tatum finished her analytic training in October 2008, and is now a full member<br />
of PNSJA. Janet is a clinical social worker, and has had more than 30 years<br />
experience as a psychotherapist. She has been an advanced training candidate with<br />
PNSJA for the past four years, having transferred to PNSJA from the San Francisco<br />
Jung Institute after her move to the Pacific Northwest. She is an expert in the area of<br />
sand play, where she has published various articles and has made many public<br />
presentations to psychotherapists and lay people. She defended her thesis in October<br />
2008, the title of which was “<strong>The</strong> Double Quaternity: Image, Idea, Insight.” We<br />
welcome Janet with warm and open hearts.<br />
James Witzig died on July 2, 2008, after a long illness. He was 84 years old, and was<br />
married for more than 50 years to his lovely wife Lyris, who survives him. Jim was<br />
born and raised in Corvallis, Oregon. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he<br />
went to Zürich in 1948 for graduate studies in psychology at the University of Zürich.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re, he “stumbled upon” the <strong>new</strong>ly founded C. G. Jung Institute, and became a<br />
serious student of Jung’s analytical psychology ever since. Over the intervening years,<br />
Jim practiced as a clinical psychologist and as a <strong>Jungian</strong> analyst in Eugene, Oregon,<br />
and he taught lectures and seminars on <strong>Jungian</strong> and depth psychology at the<br />
University of Oregon. He was a founding member of both the Oregon Friends of Jung<br />
and the Eugene Friends of Jung, and he was one of the primary faculty members at<br />
the C. G. Jung Institute of the Pacific Northwest. While at the Jung Institute in<br />
Zürich, Jim did analysis with both C. A. Meier and Toni Wolff, and he had an<br />
individual interview with C. G. Jung himself. He attended classes, parties, and group<br />
functions where the analytic students and Jung’s inner circle would gather, and Jim<br />
would later recount fascinating stories of his interactions and perceptions of the<br />
luminous figures from the early days of <strong>Jungian</strong> psychology in Zürich. Jim wrote<br />
various articles for a range of journals on clinical psychology and analytical<br />
psychology. He also published a primer on <strong>Jungian</strong> psychology in 2002 entitled <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
Psychology: <strong>The</strong>ory and Practice, which is an excellent introduction for training<br />
candidates on the basics of <strong>Jungian</strong> psychology. Jim was a man of dry wit and<br />
intellectual rigor. He was unassuming (though sometimes feisty), and he possessed a<br />
remarkably generous spirit. Besides being a clinical psychologist, a <strong>Jungian</strong> analyst,<br />
and an academic, Jim was also a rancher. Indeed, he was truly a pioneer, and he will<br />
be greatly missed.<br />

PHILADELPHIA ASSOCIATION OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (PAJA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Philadelphia Association of <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts (PAJA) is pleased to usher in its<br />
thirteenth year as both a training institute and a place of serious study for the<br />
psychology of C.G. Jung. Our programs take place in the Ethical Society, an historical<br />
building located off beautiful Rittenhouse Square Park in Philadelphia. Our faculty has<br />
grown considerably over the years. We are a geographically diverse association that is<br />
reflected in varied training backgrounds of our analyst members who have graduated<br />
from institutes in Zürich, Los Angeles, New York, and the Inter-Regional Society of<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> focus of our curriculum for 2008-9 follows our interest in providing a rich and<br />
expansive range of course material. In addition to our own talented faculty, we invite<br />
analysts from other parts of the United States and abroad to participate in our<br />
programs. When planning our curriculum, we consider issues that are present in the<br />
collective and attempt to address them from the standpoint of Jung’s psychology. In<br />
addition to our training program, PAJA offers a monthly seminar that includes not only<br />
professional psychotherapists but also individuals with a deep interest in <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
psychology that come from a variety of professional worlds.<br />
Three years ago we added a Public Program in order to offer the community an<br />
opportunity to learn about Jung’s work. James Hillman, James Hollis, and other<br />
distinguished analysts have participated in PAJA’s mission to bring Jung’s work to a<br />
broader listening public. This year we will welcome analysts Jerome Bernstein M.A.,<br />
James Hollis Ph.D and Virginia Apperson Ph.D as public program presenters.<br />
Currently, the Philadelphia Association of <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts has eight candidates who<br />
train in conjunction with the Inter-Regional Association of <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts. To<br />
support our desire to provide a temenos for the exploration of archetypal material,<br />
candidates will participate in a Weekend Intensive designed around fairy tales and led<br />
by visiting analyst, Mara-Lea Rosenbarger, who is Zürich trained. Included in this<br />
Intensive will be a group process.<br />
We anticipate with much delight the publication of the Red Book in the fall of 2009,<br />
realized through the heroic efforts of the Philemon Foundation, established and<br />
directed by one of PAJA’s founding members, Dr. Stephen Martin.<br />
Beginning in March of 2008, we voted in a <strong>new</strong> set of officers. <strong>The</strong>y are as follows:<br />

PITTSBURGH SOCIETY OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (PSJA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> primary pursuit of the members of the Pittsburgh Society this past year has been<br />
our training activities within the Pittsburgh local seminar of the Inter-Regional Society<br />
of <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysts (I-RSJA), in which most of us hold dual membership. After five<br />
years of service as the seminar’s Coordinator of Training, David Cordisco stepped<br />
down at the end of the academic year in June 2008, and Jan Marlan was elected the<br />
<strong>new</strong> Coordinator. Sandra Miller was elected to Jan’s former position as Coordinator of<br />
Educational Programming. <strong>The</strong> administration of our Seminar is primarily the<br />
collaborative effort of these two elected individuals.<br />
Virginia Ashmun, Ron Curran, Stan Marlan, Pauline Napier (AGAP) additionally<br />
comprise the Pittsburgh Seminar’s core faculty, along with Ohio faculty members<br />
Dianne Braden, Vocata George, and Jody Wainer. New York member, Paul Kugler,<br />
although not currently as active due to his commitment as Honorary Secretary of the<br />
IAAP, is a core faculty member as well. Massachusetts member, Brian Skea, is<br />
currently not as active in the Seminar due to more local commitments, but he served<br />
as our CNASJA representative this past year. In addition, we have two local adjunct<br />
faculty members who provide diverse expertise: Lacanian-oriented psychologist, Terry<br />
Pulver, and phenomenological psychologist (and recently elected Affiliate Member of<br />
the I-RSJA), Roger Brooke. We value having such a varied faculty, which has helped<br />
the Pittsburgh Seminar to become a solid training seminar within and under the aegis<br />
of the I-RSJA. Interest in and support for the seminar runs high, and we are pleased to<br />
note that many of our analyst members, in addition to their teaching responsibilities,<br />
also attend our visiting analysts’ lectures, which we believe to be somewhat unique<br />
among other seminars of the I-RSJA and other training groups in general.<br />
pg. 98
Our ongoing collegial conversation has been about the convergence and divergence of<br />
our training roles in the Pittsburgh Seminar and our roles as analyst members of PSJA.<br />
We have concluded that the two official bodies need to maintain some separation; for<br />
example, that the Coordinator of Training should not hold executive office within the<br />
Society, but serve instead in a liaison role.<br />
PSJA analysts generally meet formally twice per year—once at one of the bi-annual<br />
national meetings of the I-RSJA (as most of us are present at that time), and again at<br />
a more socially-oriented meeting held at one of the analyst’s homes in either<br />
Pittsburgh or Cleveland. <strong>The</strong> last of these was an August barbecue gathering at the<br />
home of Jan and Stan Marlan—primarily a collegial dinner, but we enjoyed an Edward<br />
Edinger film and discussion together as a group as well.<br />
With no formal additions or resignations this year, our PSJA membership remains the<br />
same.<br />

Guevara, have become the first graduates to have completed our training program<br />
with distinction. We were also joined by the economist Ismenia Morales, who<br />
graduated this year from the Jung Institute in Zürich.<br />

office. For this we thank Axel and Rita Capriles who shared their knowledgeable<br />
administrative skills with us. In Quinta Katyna, all of our training programs, courses<br />
and activities for the general public, as well as for the training program, finally found<br />

We are happy to report that Rafael López-Pedraza reached his 88th birthday, in the<br />
company of his loving wife Valery and in a true Dionysian spirit and reasonable good<br />
health. A very important activity, <strong>The</strong> “Club de Los Sabados” led by Rafael since the<br />
early nineties, continues to be conducted regularly twice every month. In this way<br />
Rafael, who has withdrawn exclusively to his private practice and writings, remains<br />
engaged with us in the <strong>society</strong> and his teachings and personal approach to Archetypal<br />
Psychology are kept alive.<br />
Lastly, we would like to announce as well, that the position of Convener carried by<br />
Vesna Luger, has been taken over since last year by Rita Capriles. Rita’s energy and<br />
enthusiasm enrich our activities. She is joined by the rest of the Staff as well as all<br />
the members of SVAJ. We hope that under her continuing leadership, 2009 will be a<br />
truly fruitful year.<br />

BULGARIAN SOCIETY OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY, C. G. JUNG (BSAP)<br />
During 2008, the main activity of the Bulgarian DG has been to continue the<br />
educational program for psychotherapists with a <strong>Jungian</strong> approach. This program<br />
started in October 2007. Following the initiation of the study program, the Bulgarian<br />
Jung Society DG has been enriched with about 30 <strong>new</strong> members.<br />
It is the policy of our <strong>society</strong> to be open to <strong>new</strong> members. For this reason we have<br />
different kinds of membership – regular and associated members. <strong>The</strong> latter are those<br />
who do not fulfil certain educational criteria, though most of them are expected to<br />
reach the appropriate level of psychotherapeutic education and training, in order to<br />
eventually become regular members.<br />
In 2007, four honorary members were accepted in the <strong>society</strong>: Helga Thomas, Erel<br />
Shalit, Rina Porat and Annette Lowe. <strong>The</strong>se are persons who have greatly contributed<br />
to our Jung movement, but they do not have voting rights in BSAP. At the moment<br />
there are seventeen regular, full members. <strong>The</strong> present students in the recently<br />
started study program for psychotherapy with <strong>Jungian</strong> orientation are expected to<br />
become associate members at our annual meeting, November 17, 2008.<br />
This year, the plan of study program was succesfully fulfilled. It included seminars,<br />
personal analyses/psychotherapy and supervisions. This is possible not the least due<br />
to the important contribution of our guest lecturers, who are simultaneously members<br />
of the extended study-committee: Erel Shalit (liaison person), Helga Thomas,<br />
Waltraut Koerner, Andreas von Heidwolf, Christian Vojtschizki.<br />
Simultaneously, a <strong>new</strong> and important tendency in our training is that we increasingly<br />
rely on our own resources; three of our members, who have formally finished the<br />
program in <strong>Jungian</strong> psychotherapy (Krassimira Baychinska, Petya Horozova and<br />
Svetlana Nikolkova) are engaged as lecturers and personal therapists in the training.<br />
Study Program – 2008<br />
<strong>The</strong> basic module for the beginners is divided into five units, and includes:<br />
“Introduction to Analytical Psychology” (lectures, workshops and discussions)<br />
by Dr. Krassimira Baychinska;<br />
“<strong>Jungian</strong> approach to Bulgarian folklore” by Dr. Anatol Anchev (folklorist,<br />
Bulgarian Academy of Sciences);<br />
Clinical seminars – <strong>Jungian</strong> approach to a) anxiety disorders and depression,<br />
and b) to schizophrenia, as well as biological and psychological theories by Dr.<br />
Svetlana Nikolkova.<br />
pg. 104
Furthermore, we have profited from visits by <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts:<br />
Dr. Andreas von Heydwolff has visited three times, providing individual and<br />
group supervisions, and lectured on „Analytical Psychology and religion”.<br />
Dr. Helga Thomas has likewise visited three times, for extended periods, giving<br />
personal analysis and individual supervision, as well as a seminar: “Arthemida<br />
and the other goddesses within: the structure of feminine development” and<br />
another seminar on: "Analytical work with fairytales." She also gave a workshop<br />
on this at the V National Congress of Psychology, Sofia.<br />
Helga also delivered a public lecture on "Archaic forms and movements in art,<br />
nature and humans," and gave a workshop on this subject, as well as a<br />
workshop on "Eros & Psyche."<br />
Christian Vojtschizki from Berlin has visited us during extensive periods, giving<br />
both personal analyses and individual supervisions.<br />
Dr. Waltraut Korner has visited twice during 2008, providing group supervision,<br />
and giving two workshops on "Introduction to Dream work.”<br />
During two visits in 2008, Dr. Erel Shalit, liaison person of IAAP, gave two<br />
clinically oriented workshops, one on "Concepts in praxis" and one on<br />
“Complexes: <strong>The</strong> path of transformation.” <strong>The</strong> latter workshop is based on his<br />
book on the subject, which during the year was translated and published in<br />
Bulgarian. His recent book "Enemy, Cripple and Beggar" is also expected to be<br />
translated during this coming year.<br />
We have also planned the study program for 2009, relying both on our guest lecturers<br />
from abroad as well as our local resources.<br />
A tremendously important result of the study program in <strong>Jungian</strong> Oriented<br />
Psychotherapy was that as of June 2008, BSAP became a member of the Bulgarian<br />
Association of Psychotherapy, under the umbrella of the European Association of<br />
Psychotherapy. This is a profound acknowledgment of our program, since it reaffirms<br />
that we meet the criteria for psychotherapy programs, as recognized by the European<br />
Association of Psychotherapy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> popularization of ideas of Analytical Psychology is one of the main goals of the<br />
Bulgarian Jung Society. <strong>The</strong> members of our developing group participated in national<br />
congresses and conferences, such as the National Conference of Psychotherapy and<br />
the National Congress of Psychology, where BSAP was one of the sponsors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> internet site of our <strong>society</strong> (www.Jungbg.com), which was set up in 2007, has<br />
also proven valuable to spread information about Analytical Psychology and the Jung<br />
<strong>society</strong>.<br />

We want to express our gratitude to the liaison team, our guest lecturers, to IAAP and<br />
the subcommittee for the developing groups, as well as all those who locally<br />
contributed to our successful development.<br />

GRUPO DE DESARROLLO C.G. JUNG CHILE<br />
1. ACADEMIC AND DIFFUSION ACTIVITIES<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have been many activities during 2008. Our main goals have been academic<br />
development and diffusion for the general public. <strong>The</strong>re is a growing interest in<br />
learning more about Jung‘s work and thought.<br />
<strong>The</strong> academic activities have resided at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Santiago de<br />
Chile. In December, 12 students will complete their Masters in Analytical Psychology.<br />
It is probable that four or five of them will continue their development as analysts.<br />
We have now seven certified Chilean analysts who will lead the training of <strong>new</strong><br />
routers. In teaching and formation of analysts we also have the collaboration of<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> analysts from Uruguay and Brazil.<br />
2. LATIN-AMERICAN CONGRESS OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY<br />
<strong>The</strong> V Latin-American Congress of Analytical Psychology will be held at the<br />
Convention Center and Hotel Sheraton, in Santiago, Chile, from the 4 th to the 8 th of<br />
September, 2009. <strong>The</strong> central topic of the Congress will be “Eros and Power in<br />
Clinics, Education and Culture”. <strong>The</strong> topic confronts us with the challenges and<br />
demands of the XXI century and was suggested in the meeting of the CLAPA at the<br />
end of the IV Latin-American Congress of <strong>Jungian</strong> Psychology, at Punta del Este,<br />
Uruguay, in 2006.<br />
pg. 106
At the moment we are busy organizing the congress, with the close cooperation of our<br />
colleagues from Brazil, Uruguay and other Latin-American countries, as co-organizing<br />
members. Up to now, everything has gone well and we hope and trust that this will be<br />
a great encounter among <strong>Jungian</strong>s, a space kindly opened to Iberoamerica and to the<br />
rest of the world, and a space where deep thought and reflection can be generated.<br />
We would be pleased and proud to have the presence of <strong>Jungian</strong>s from all over the<br />
world in this meaningful and so important event for all <strong>Jungian</strong>s, and a support in our<br />
efforts to diffuse and deepen the knowledge of <strong>Jungian</strong> thought. It will also be an<br />
honor for us to have active participants at the conference, either presenting posters<br />
with a specific theme, participating in round tables, directing a thematic coffee<br />
meeting or organizing a workshop. <strong>The</strong> basis to present any form of work can be<br />
found on the Web page of the Congress: www.congreso.cgjung.cl<br />
3. NEW TRENDS IN THE GROUP ORGANIZATION<br />
In the framework of these activities, we found it necessary to reorganize the group. In<br />
a Group General Assembly that met in May this year, the group voted in 4 members to<br />
make a revision and generate a <strong>new</strong> constitution. This will help to attract <strong>new</strong><br />
members to a well structured organization. <strong>The</strong> document has been studied together<br />
with the IAAP laws in order for it to be consistent with the national and international<br />
laws. We will call for a <strong>new</strong> Directory election in October 2009.<br />
4. DECEASED<br />
On June16 2007, the chief priest Juan de Castro Reyes, (74) passed away, after three<br />
years of suffering with severe lung cancer. He was a Doctor in <strong>The</strong>ology at the<br />
University of Letran Rome, and Psychologist at the Catholic University of Chile. He<br />
had many noteworthy responsibilities as Dean of Sciences at the Catholic University of<br />
Chile, and many public and community church duties. In all of his specialized work he<br />
was well known as one of the first to establish the academic teaching of Jung’s<br />
psychology in the country. He wrote the well known “Introduction to Jung’s<br />
Psychology”, and the last 2006 edition “Para mejorar la Vida”. (“To better up your<br />
Life, Introduction to Jung´s Psychology”). His bright, thoughtful and open personality<br />
was an inspiration for many, and his death has certainly been a big loss for the<br />
Chilean <strong>Jungian</strong>s.<br />

Hong Kong<br />
HONG KONG INSTITUTE OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (HKIAP)<br />
Attractions: How do people get interested in Jung, particularly those in the Eastern<br />
World? People come into the group on their own impulse in line with Jung’s ideas. It<br />
could be a mid-life crisis, a dream, or a symbol, fairytale, or myth, a curiosity about<br />
depth psychology, life & death, the I-Ching, Luo-Chi, religion, sex or marriage, or<br />
even a concern with individuation, etc. It comes into collective unconscious as well<br />
as the humanistic characteristics of people from different cultures. <strong>The</strong> knowledge in<br />
analytical psychology behind the <strong>Jungian</strong> practice embraces the professionals,<br />
whereas the down-to-earth personal material contains each and every individual.<br />
Jung brings the tools to open up the mysteries into the Chinese cultures for more<br />
accessible, readable and applicable reflections and experience.<br />
Journey - Five-years of journey are like building flesh into a<br />
fishbone. Members express their personal interests around<br />
fairytales & myths to identify their where they stand with<br />
their specific interests, to crystallize Jung from “matters of<br />
the heart” through interviews with analysands, to explore on<br />
dreams for transference and archetypes (Ursula Weiss), to<br />
get the timeline of historical developments (Tom Kirsch), to<br />
learn the importance of supervision from a documentary about “Sabina Spielrein” as<br />
the first patient of Jung’s under Freud’s mentorship.<br />
Milestones - This is the 5 th year of our HKIAP development, started by a small group<br />
of matured professionals (university professors, psychiatrists, counselors, trainers and<br />
therapists etc). Up till now we have around 10 core members and 29 memberships in<br />
all, two Liaisons officers, (Eva Pattis, Ursula Weiss) and three Presidents (Geoff<br />
Blower, Hana Li and Mable Lam). 46 people sign-up as HKIAP Yahoo Group members.<br />
We had participated in the first three Jung & Chinese Culture Conferences in China,<br />
and I believe we will have a bigger group to join the 4 th Int’l Conference (Shanghai) in<br />
April 2009 too. <strong>The</strong>re will be around four router applications in 2009 soon. So far, we<br />
have collaborations with the City University and the University of HK. Next, we are<br />
planning to network with the Hospital Authority as well as the Chinese University.<br />
Recently, we have stretched a little bit by meeting up with groups in China as well as<br />
Taiwan. <strong>The</strong>refore I would say nowadays, we are gradually moving from an<br />
introverted group to a more extroverted one.<br />
2008-2009 program plan – After some workshops on Dreams in the past year, Ursula<br />
Weiss and some other speakers who are being invited, will be helping us on areas of<br />
Complex <strong>The</strong>ory and Archetype, Consciousness and Psychology Types.<br />
What is special about HKIAP? - Indeed, we are grateful to IAAP for the subsidy and<br />
for bringing important speakers/analysts (14 analysts) into the group. HKIAP in fact,<br />
has not just passively invited the guests, but we do serve our members in the learning<br />
pg. 108
process as well – for example, we have monthly reading groups to bring joint efforts<br />
to understand difficult material and to encourage personal analysis and make group<br />
supervision available too. HKIAP is still a very simply structured group, with minimum<br />
network circulations and clerical support. Yet we are flexible enough to be a bunch of<br />
volunteers with lots of passion and commitment. In the future, I would hope more<br />
people will be encouraged to join with us and make a very constructive team with a<br />
mix of mature professionals as well as young professional groups. <strong>The</strong>y will<br />
respectively bring in a solid foundation and working energy - which will help to<br />
further explore <strong>Jungian</strong> practice in the Chinese Cultures.<br />
How to serve IAAP? – Asians are similar in appearance but there are so many<br />
differences amongst people from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Hong Kong was<br />
colonized by Britain and has been influenced by a western mentality for a long period<br />
of time. <strong>The</strong> mastering of English and Putonghua enable us to be a mediator of<br />
different regional groups. Although we are not as wealthy as Taiwan to invite<br />
speakers, nor are we as big as the China market, I believe in some way the Hong Kong<br />
group can share our integrative learning experience and work together with other<br />
<strong>new</strong>ly formed groups.<br />

Developing Group Reports : 2007-2008 : China (Guangzhou / Shanghai)<br />
ASOCIACIÓN PARA EL DESARROLLO DE LA PSICOLOGIA ANALITICA EN COLOMBIA<br />
(ADEPAC)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Colombian Developing Group is organized on the basis of six programs as follows:<br />
1) Visits of Analysts<br />
2) Coordination of Events<br />
3) Routers in training by IAAP<br />
4) Study Groups<br />
5) Diffusion<br />
6) Social Projection to Communities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Program of Visits of Analysts to Colombia kept similar levels of activities to those<br />
of the previous year. We continued to count on the participation of Dr. Nancy Sarquis<br />
(Ven) for sessions of individual analysis, while case supervision we had the visits of<br />
Drs. Trudy Bendayán (Ven), Eduardo Carvallo (Ven), Eva Pattis (Ita) and Luigi Zoja<br />
(Ita). <strong>The</strong> number of visits has gradually increased since July 2005, when we were<br />
recognized as a Developing Group, and continues to the present. In 2005 we had only<br />
one visit, then three in 2006, eight in 2007, and finally nine in 2008. Once again, we<br />
want to emphasize the contribution of some of these analysts who have met their<br />
expenses –totally or partially- from their own personal resources, which has permitted<br />
us to have at present a greater number of supervision sessions than what we had<br />
initially planned with our available resources.<br />
pg. 111
Another visible advantage the group has gained has been in the field of increasing<br />
experience in the organization of events, which is now in the care of a specific<br />
committee. <strong>The</strong> aspects related to hosting visitors, which three years ago<br />
represented a stressful work, at present run very efficiently. Perhaps the greater<br />
achievement from the increase of visits has been the development of a strong sense<br />
of continuity in the Group members interested in receiving training from the IAAP.<br />
Although some members who started in 2005 have provisionally retired from the<br />
initial group, other members have taken their place, keeping always a total of six<br />
members.<br />
In the Routers Program last October we were visited by the analysts Drs. Luigi Zoja<br />
and Eva Pattis who carried out the screening interviews for four candidates. This is a<br />
significant step towards the stability and consolidation of the Group. Another issue<br />
worth mentioning is that some of our qualified members have retired from the Group<br />
due to the fact they moved away from Colombia in order to pursue studies and<br />
training abroad in countries such as Brazil and Switzerland. Despite the fact of not<br />
being “active members” they keep in permanent touch with us having in mind their<br />
commitment to come back to our Group once they have completed their studies,<br />
which will increase our possibility to become a Society in the future.<br />
In the Study Program the members applying for Routers continue to hold weekly<br />
meetings for reading and discussion of selected works according to the Reading<br />
Program approved by our Liaison Person, Dr. Luigi Zoja.<br />
In the Diffusion Program our most efficient activity has been the Study Groups which<br />
constitute a permanent benefit that ADEPAC offers to its members. At present there<br />
are four Groups, three in Bogotá and one in Medellín, working on a wide range of<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> themes. Another strategy for diffusion has been our website<br />
(www.adepac.org), which is updated monthly with publications from <strong>Jungian</strong> authors.<br />
Several of these materials are translated from other languages, and in the selection<br />
process we seek to include papers presented in national or international events. To<br />
date, the number of visitors to our website has reached over 12000.<br />
Another important resource for diffusion comes from the collection of <strong>Jungian</strong> works<br />
we have available to members in Bogotá and Medellín, reaching now over 90 volumes.<br />
Finally, we would like to mention other strategies such as lectures, forums, and<br />
workshops conducted by visiting analysts and by members of the Association, on areas<br />
of their interest and experience.<br />
As a very positive result of the activities developed in 2008, we can mention our<br />
social contribution to vulnerable communities in terms of mental health. Looking for a<br />
projection of our work towards this type of community has been a concern and an<br />
integral part of our goals since the beginning of the Group. We have finally been able<br />
to start such a project with the visit of Dr. Eva Pattis who is coordinating a project of<br />
pg. 112
Psychotherapy with <strong>Jungian</strong> Approach using imaginal means such as “Expressive<br />
Sandplay”. This project is aimed at mistreated, abused and/or traumatized children<br />
in Guangzhou (China), in Johannesburg (South Africa), and is now being applied in<br />
Bogotá, Colombia. We plan to continue developing this project on a long term basis.<br />
Also, we are working towards developing the same type of project in the city of<br />
Medellin, Colombia, during 2009. We consider this commitment of our Developing<br />
Group an effective contribution to a <strong>society</strong> experiencing so many forms of violence<br />
as does Colombian <strong>society</strong>.<br />

Developing Group Reports : 2007-2008 : Colombia (Bogota)<br />
CZECJ SOCIETY FOR ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (ČSAP)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Czech Developing Group has four individual members of IAAP. This year another<br />
colleague, Martin Skála, passed the final exam in the router programme. Thus, our<br />
capacity for providing a theoretical training as well as analysis of <strong>new</strong> candidates has<br />
increased at present. <strong>The</strong>re has also been a higher number of routers this year. In<br />
November, during the visit of T. Kelly and M. Müller to the Czech Republic, two<br />
colleagues passed the screening interview and another three passed the intermediate<br />
interview. <strong>The</strong>se routers, together with others, have still required support since there<br />
has not been a sufficient number of analysts and supervisors available to them in our<br />
country. Some routers have been getting both supervision and analysis from analysts<br />
from abroad so that it is ensured that the roles of an analyst and a supervisor are not<br />
mixed up.<br />
We have become more self-reliant in giving instruction in basic themes of <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
psychology, however, with regard to special topics and techniques we still need<br />
foreign lecturers who could share their knowledge and long-term experience with us.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se special topics include trauma therapy, sandspiel (sandplay), developmental<br />
psychology, working with transference, etc.<br />
pg. 113
<strong>The</strong>re has been a <strong>new</strong> direction in our activities recently. Our candidates have been more<br />
active, creative, they have been interested in the latest developmental trends and the<br />
need for a discussion and an exchange of opinions has increased. We have continued in<br />
publishing a magazine of analytical psychology, in which lecturers from our country as<br />
well as from abroad contribute. So far, two isssues have been published. Although we<br />
have had enough material for at least two more issues, there was not enough money to<br />
cover all necessary expenses. For this reason, we have started thinking about issuing the<br />
magazine in an electronic form.<br />
In April of this year we held a two-day conference in Brno, during which 12 colleagues<br />
presented papers on different topics. Beside members of our association, other people<br />
participitated in the conference. Overall, there was a positive response to it. We have<br />
already started organizing the third conference that will take place in 2009.<br />
Our members have also taken part in international conferences this year. Two<br />
colleagues attended the JAP VIII International Conference in Italy. Apart from that,<br />
Ludvik Betak took an active part in the conference in Zürich and Jolana Buckova in<br />
Berlin. We would like to extend our active participation in conferences abroad in<br />
order to get <strong>new</strong> stimuli for our therapeutic work as well as <strong>new</strong> experience.<br />
However, a large disparity between our salaries and international conference fees has<br />
been an ever present obstacle in fulfilling our wish.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of members of our Developing IAAP Group has increased. We have<br />
opened, so far, the sixth run of a training programme in analytical psychology and<br />
psychotherapy. In spite of the fact that there has been an effort to delegate roles and<br />
responsibilities to <strong>new</strong> members, most responsibilities for running the association are<br />
still on the founding members.<br />

Psychology started. It is a graduate level course for college students in their last year<br />
of Psychology, the Humanities, as well as for other interested professionals.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program has been somewhat modified in relation to previous years. Even though<br />
it concentrates on the complete works of C.G. Jung, contributions of Post <strong>Jungian</strong>s<br />
have also been included, among other reasons, because these allow easier access to<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> thought and consequently there is less difficulty in going to the primary<br />
source. Participants are mainly young psychologists, students of psychology, writers,<br />
homeopaths, and people who have undergone psychological analysis.<br />
In addition to the mentioned course, psycho-spirituality lectures in the framework of<br />
analytical psychology are still being offered every Thursday and there have been<br />
repeated requests for the presentation of conferences about different <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
subjects to groups seeking alternative lifestyles and to cultural studies circles.<br />
Group members, Vladimir Serrano and Ana Tibau, have continued the analytical<br />
psychology course for interested academics in the city of Ambato and next semester<br />
Francisco Prado will also teach this course. Furthermore, this course is also being<br />
offered in the city of Riobamba.<br />
<strong>The</strong> same professionals organized a practical course (workshop) about affectivity,<br />
sexuality and analytical psychology for the Ecuadorian Conference of Church<br />
Members, aimed at religious women doing different kinds of pastoral work mainly in<br />
psychiatric hospitals. Participants were 40-60 years old and some of them were going<br />
through a midlife crisis. Due to this, the organizers asked the instructors to see them<br />
in consultation.<br />
As in previous years, we still offer classes in Dynamics of the Psyche, Typology and<br />
Psychotherapy, as well as Conscience and Interculturality and Social Evolution of<br />
Conscience at the Superior Institute of Ancestral Knowledge “Jatum Yachai Wasy”,<br />
located in Balbanera, Chimborazo Province, which has the largest Indian population.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se classes are part of general studies and especially of the Andean Medicine<br />
program.<br />
In August, we were visited by analysts, Gonzalo Himiob and Alejandro Suárez,<br />
members of the Venezuelan Association of Analytical Psychology AVPA, in order to<br />
continue with the formation of analysts in the group, according to the IAAP program.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y conducted movie discussion forums on femininity, which turned out to be very<br />
pg. 115
didactic and to a great extent enhanced participation in the workshops. Alejandro<br />
Suárez gave a lecture on Transference and gave analysis. Gonzalo Himiob was in<br />
charge of supervisions.<br />
A trip to Ambato was organized so both analysts could participate in meetings of the<br />
Juan Montalvo Lodge study circle of that city.<br />
Next year, we hope to continue with the training program.<br />

ESTONIAN C.G. JUNG ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATION (EJS)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Estonian <strong>Jungian</strong> <strong>society</strong> has existed already for eight years. Last year was quite<br />
interesting and intensive for our group. While the number of seminars has not been<br />
very impressive comparing to year 2007, this year we are dedicated to working with<br />
literature and creating <strong>new</strong> a organizational structure for our <strong>society</strong>. During the past<br />
years the needs and purposes of the <strong>society</strong> have changed and also have become<br />
clearer and more specific. It is pleasant to see how the motivation and good energy is<br />
rising because of supervision opportunities. We are really thankful to Geraldine Godsil<br />
and Maggie Cochrane for their support and interest that makes it possible for us to<br />
have supervisions in Estonia twice a year and via Skype 1-2 times a month. <strong>The</strong><br />
supervision had been a really big problem for us till last year. It was reducing the<br />
motivation, because people did not have much hope to gather all the hours of<br />
supervision required. Now this problem is almost solved.<br />
Valborg de Gier Thornfeldt (Denmark) continues to visit regularly once a month to<br />
give individual analysis for 8 people. It is already the sixth year that we get analysis<br />
locally. Now all the people who have joined analysis are already or will soon become<br />
routers. We are really very thankful to Valborg for her generosity and endurance in<br />
coming to Estonia every month for six years. During these 6 years some members<br />
completed the requirements for individual analysis and are working on their<br />
pg. 116
examinational case reports. Currently we have 6 routers in the group, and two<br />
members are preparing for the screening interview.<br />
Talking about challenges, after termination of sand tray seminars we lost some people<br />
who were mainly interested in more active and imaginational approach. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />
always less active members of our <strong>society</strong> and after the last two years they have<br />
become more and more distant. However, we still have good contact with them and<br />
sometimes they participate in seminars. Consequently, the number of participants has<br />
clearly decreased this year and it strains our financial situation. At the same time the<br />
majority of more active members who already are or will soon become routers are<br />
very satisfied with concentrating on clinical work in seminars.<br />
During the year 2008, we have had seminars and supervision twice with Geraldine<br />
Godsil, Maggie Cochrane (UK) and also Ursula Wirtz (Zürich), who were here holding<br />
our eighth summer camp. Unfortunately, we had to cancel some seminars, but after 7<br />
seminars last year we really needed a bit lower tempo this year.<br />
Our program for 2008:<br />
January 26 Keith Bramall (UK)<br />
Impossible love: erotic transference.(8 hours of lecture and workshop)<br />
April 18-20 Gereraldine Godsil, Maggie Cochrane (UK)<br />
<strong>The</strong> importance of the setting and the dangers of seduction. (4 hours of lectures; 3<br />
sessions of group supervision; 6 sessions of individual supervison)<br />
July 25-30 Ursula Wirtz, (Zürich)<br />
Eighth Summer Camp<br />
Yearning to be known, Individuation and the broken wing of Eros. (22 hours of<br />
lectures and workshop; 6 sessions of individual supervision)<br />
October 17-19 Geraldine Godsil, Maggie Cochrane<br />
Workshop on shame. (4 hours of lectures; 3 sessions of group supervision; 6 sessions of<br />
individual supervision)<br />

Georgia (Tbilisi)<br />
THE GEORGIAN ASSOCIATION OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (GAAP)<br />
Preamble: Having been elected liaison person for the DG Georgia in February 2008,<br />
my first task was to gather information about the group, its history, achievements and<br />
goals. When I first visited Tbilisi, I was pleasantly surprised to encounter a group of<br />
sophisticated, sincere and highly motivated individuals, who functioned well as a<br />
group in support and understanding of one another. I believe this was due to the good<br />
work of my predecessor, Françoise Caillet , her colleagues and the integrating<br />
endeavour of the DG president, Rezo Korinteli.<br />
<strong>The</strong> obvious task was to work on a plan, which promised realistic goals within a<br />
foreseeable future. This involved the continuation of what had already been in place:<br />
offering personal analysis with Marina Conti, supervision and theoretical knowledge<br />
with François Martin Vallas and John Hill. It soon became clear that much more is<br />
needed if any of the DG members could become IAAP analysts within a foreseeable<br />
future (six to ten years). <strong>The</strong> two areas that needed immediate attention were choice<br />
of router candidates and finding <strong>new</strong> sources of funding to complement the IAAP<br />
annual contribution.<br />
Routers and Funding: In a visit to Tbilisi in July, Christian Gaillard and John Hill were<br />
impressed by the quality of the Candidates in the screening interviews and all five,<br />
Manana Kechkhuashvili, Manana Duduchava, Maia Botchorishvili, Giorgi Geleishvili,<br />
Rezo Korinteli were recommended to become Routers. A major step in the project<br />
had been accomplished. Funding also had met with some success. Christian Gaillard<br />
managed to receive for Tbilisi CHF 8230 from the Sauer/Hörni Fund in 2008 and a<br />
further 3000 euros for 2009 from the Rotraud/Sauer Fund and John Hill raised CHF<br />
10’700 by an appeal to friends and colleagues whom he knows personally. <strong>The</strong> latter<br />
would hardly have been achieved without an excellent homepage in five languages set<br />
up by François Martin Vallas with images by the DG Georgia and text by John Hill:<br />
www.georgian-training.org<br />
Supervision and theoretical Knowledge: François MV has set up a model for supervision<br />
in which he plans two annual visits of four full days to be complemented by internet<br />
supervision. In it there is a differentiation of supervision for routers and non-Routers<br />
as also between clinical supervision and clinical presentation. He aims to provide 30<br />
hours of group supervision and 12 hours of individual supervision for Routers per year.<br />
John Hill also provided individual and some group supervision. François and John have<br />
and will provide theoretical knowledge: reading and discussion of Jung texts, lectures<br />
on themes related to the training project and possibly access to an internet discussion<br />
by a team of analysts. Christian Gaillard gave a public lecture in the National Library<br />
of Tbilisi on Prehistoric Art and <strong>Jungian</strong> Psychology in July 2008.<br />
Personal Analysis: <strong>The</strong> work with Marina Conti remains extremely important and<br />
seems to be working well. Marina will have been three times to Tbilisi in 2007 and<br />
pg. 118
hopes to go four times in 2008. Eventually Router candidates need to experience a<br />
regular, intensive analysis, over a period of several years. This would involve some<br />
kind of shuttle analysis and would require a considerable amount of funding. All<br />
concerned would need to evaluate its risks and opportunities before it being<br />
operative. I would gather around CHF 15’000 per year is necessary for one analyst to<br />
make ten visits a year to Tbilisi. Private funding has got off to a good start. It is<br />
crucial that this money be saved in order to finance a regular intensive training<br />
analysis.<br />
Library Facilities and Translations: John Hill hopes to bring books of <strong>Jungian</strong> interest<br />
on each visit. One member of the group, Nino Siradze, has translated into Georgian<br />
Helen Hörni-Jung’s book on Icons, which is now in the process of editing. Next the<br />
group hope to translate Jung’s MDR and Edinger’s Ego and Archetype. <strong>The</strong>se are<br />
important projects in order to make Jung known in this part of the world.<br />
Conclusion: Considering there is no resident analyst in Georgia, no connection with<br />
Moscow, made worse due to the unfortunate war in August, travel to Tbilisi is<br />
expensive and the DG members have very little private means, the Georgian IAAP<br />
training project will continue to be a difficult undertaking. <strong>The</strong> motivation and<br />
professional standards of the DG are of course varied but in general of excellent<br />
quality. A great effort on behalf of all concerned is needed in order that the project<br />
succeeds.<br />
Words of thanks from the DG Georgia: “All members of our association want to<br />
express endless gratitude and deep appreciation to the IAAP, its sub-committee for<br />
developing groups and everyone who took part in giving support and donations. We<br />
are very happy that our training became an experience of the deeper levels in <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
psychology.”<br />

India (Bangalore)<br />
THE JUNG CENTER (BANGALORE)<br />
<strong>The</strong> major public event in 2008 was a collaboration between the Swiss Embassy and<br />
<strong>The</strong> Jung Center Bangalore as a part of the celebrations of the 60 th year of the signing<br />
of the friendship treaty between the two countries.<br />
We celebrated the connections between <strong>Jungian</strong> psychology and the Indian psyche by<br />
organizing two public seminars entitled “Jung and India: dialogues between depth<br />
psychology and the Indian psyche”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first was held on the 25 th of July, the day before Jung’s birthday, at the India<br />
International Center in Delhi. <strong>The</strong> second was held on the <strong>28</strong> th of July at the Max<br />
Mueller Bhavan in Bangalore. As a part of the seminar in Delhi I gave a talk on “C.G.<br />
Jung: Re-souling the world”. Dr. Ruedi Hoegger, invited by the Swiss embassy, gave a<br />
talk entitled “ Buddha and Naga: contemplating Indian images from a <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
perspective”. Both seminars were well received with a lively and open exchange of<br />
ideas and questions from the audience.<br />
An exhibition on Jung accompanied both events. This exhibition was put together by<br />
the Jung Center with a lot of help from Anjali D’Souza, a Jung Center member who is<br />
a psychotherapist and IAAP router.<br />
In October 2008, Dr. Jody Schlatter from ISAP Zürich, visited Bangalore and conducted<br />
a two-day seminar on “<strong>The</strong> Negative Animus: its role in our psyche”. We immersed<br />
ourselves, nine of us, in an intensive exploration of this subject through fairytales and<br />
personal experiences.<br />
We are slowly adding to our library through generous gifts of books from Dr. Jody<br />
Schlatter and Frau Helga Kopecky of ISAP Zürich. Our IAAP liaison, Dr. Ashok Bedi,<br />
has been very active in getting together a large number of CDs of talks given at the<br />
Jung Center in Wisconsin and sending them to us in Bangalore. Listening to them has<br />
been an important way for our group to feel a part of the larger <strong>Jungian</strong> collective.<br />
Over the next year we want to strengthen our experience of belonging to a <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
community so as not to feel so isolated in different parts of a large country.<br />

THE IRISH ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATION (IAPA)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Irish Analytical Psychology Association continues to thrive.<br />
Our <strong>new</strong> committee was elected in March 2008 and is headed by Aileen Young as<br />
Chairperson. Vice-Chair is Carol Cunningham and the Honorary Secretary is Kathy<br />
Morrison. Jean Fitzgerald is Treasurer and other committee members are Orla<br />
Crowley and Ruth Kearney. Máirín Ní Nualláin acts as Liaison person with the IAAP.<br />
We had a very good programme of lectures and seminars for our 2007 – 2008 season<br />
and most events were well-attended. This year we enjoyed contributions from many<br />
of our own members which proved very popular. Christina Mulvey presented two<br />
teaching seminars on the fundamental theories of the psychology of Jung, and a<br />
course of three teaching seminars on “Classic Fairytales and Irish Analogues” was<br />
conducted by Toni O’Brien Johnson. Máirín Ní Nualláin gave two seminars –“‘A<br />
Reflection on the work of Michael Fordham on Early Childhood Development” and “A<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> Approach to the Analysis of Altrom Tige da Medar – an Ancient Irish Myth”.<br />
Benig Mauger presented a public lecture entitled “<strong>The</strong> Inner Marriage; Love,<br />
Relationship and the Search for Wholeness”, followed by a seminar on suffering and<br />
the psychotherapeutic process. Marian Dunlea’s public lecture was entitled “<strong>The</strong><br />
Dancer becomes the Dance”, and her workshop was called “This is your Body.” Orla<br />
Crowley lectured on the Tarot as Map and Measure and conducted a seminar entitled<br />
“Confusing reflections; Reflecting Confusion”, which dealt with the issue of<br />
narcissism. Bill Callanan spoke about “<strong>The</strong> Entwined Snakes as a Symbol of Healing”<br />
followed by a seminar concerning working on dreams. International speakers included<br />
Donald Kalsched who lectured and conducted a seminar, and Ffiona von Westhoven<br />
Perigrinor finished our programme with a lecture “In Sickness and in Health” and a<br />
seminar on “Touching the Body in our Clinical Practices”. We would like to thank all<br />
our presenters for their valuable contributions.<br />
One of our members, Ingrid Safvestad Nolan, has returned to live in her native<br />
Sweden; we will miss her greatly and wish her well in her <strong>new</strong> life. Ingrid was a<br />
committee member of the IAPA for some years and worked very hard for us.<br />
At our AGM in March, we ratified the Code of Ethics of the ICP, which is the<br />
accrediting body for psychotherapists in Ireland. <strong>The</strong> ratification was adopted<br />
following a vote of all our full members. Members were also informed of the ICP<br />
decision to require evidence of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) from all<br />
accredited psychotherapists.<br />

POLISH ASSOCIATION OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY (PTPA)<br />
Year 2008 has been significant for the development of analytical psychology in<br />
Poland. Many people have taken up a training analysis; a group has strengthened its<br />
position in the professional circles and the training activity has been continued and<br />
extended.<br />
In 2008 Mrs. Fiona Palmer Barnes has retired and stopped being a liaison person. She<br />
had been performing this function for the past several years after Patricia de Hoogh<br />
Rowntree. Nowadays, Mrs. Fiona Palmer Barnes has offered help in sharing her<br />
experience and advising those routers who would apply for this kind of help. On<br />
behalf of the group, we would like to thank Mrs. Fiona Palmer Barnes for her work as<br />
a liaison person and we wholeheartedly wish her success and satisfaction in her <strong>new</strong><br />
role. <strong>The</strong> post of a liaison person has not yet been occupied, and so, for the time<br />
being, it is performed by Mr. Joe Cambray and Mrs. Jan Wiener.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main part of PDG in 2008 has constituted a training course in analytical<br />
psychology. Six <strong>Jungian</strong> seminars were organised; at the same time, the first course in<br />
the Sandplay <strong>The</strong>rapy was organized in Poland in strict cooperation with Dr Joerg<br />
Rasche, and seven meetings of this course have already taken place. <strong>The</strong> following<br />
were directing the seminars in 2008: Maggie Hammond, Tomasz Jasiński, Thomas<br />
Mantel, Dale Mathers, Joerg Rasche, Krzysztof Rutkowski, Gert Sauer, Michael Whan,<br />
and some of them came to Poland several times. We would like to thank all the<br />
lecturers from the bottom of our hearts for their engagement and readiness to share<br />
their experience with us. <strong>The</strong> meetings were greeted with great enthusiasm by the<br />
participants and the lecturers’ work was highly appreciated. We hope that for the<br />
lecturers, the participation in meeting with PDG members was valuable as well as<br />
pleasant.<br />
pg. 122
Training courses will be continued in 2009: seventeen meetings have already been<br />
booked, and John Beebe, Joe Cambray, Grazyna Czubińska, Harriet Friedman, Mario<br />
Jacoby, Tom Kelly, Linde von Keyserlingk, Carola Mathers, Rie Mirchell, Joerg Rasche,<br />
Sachiko Reece, Gert Sauer, Murray Stein and Jan Wiener have confirmed their<br />
participation. We would like to invite members of other development groups and<br />
other societies to take part in our meetings.<br />
In 2008, all meetings took place in Kraków and they were organised by Mira Marciak,<br />
Łukasz Müldner-Nieckowski and Krzysztof Rutkowski (the course director). We hope to<br />
organise seminars in other cities soon.<br />
Education is directly associated with PTPA participation in legislative works<br />
concerning psychotherapy in Poland. Most probably the Parliament will soon pass a<br />
bill on this matter. <strong>The</strong> PDG representatives took part in preparing the content of that<br />
bill. <strong>The</strong> project enables all PTPA members and <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts to freely practice in<br />
Poland and even to do so within the health insurance cover.<br />
Krystyna Węgłowska-Rzepa continued activities in <strong>Jungian</strong> psychotherapy<br />
systematically in Wrocław in 2008. She organised the 6 th <strong>Jungian</strong> Wrocław Seminars<br />
with Don Fredericksen (IAJS), a one-day conference “A Trip Inside Yourself” and<br />
seminars for students. She also edited a book "Around the Idea of C.G. Jung's<br />
Analytical Psychology. Reflections, Inspirations, Applications". Her activity has<br />
undoubtedly contributed to the popularization and strengthening of <strong>Jungian</strong><br />
psychotherapy in Poland.<br />
Two <strong>new</strong> people enrolled in PDG in 2008. Altogether, PDG/PTPA has 38 members, 6 of<br />
them are routers, though others have already applied for this position. An analysis of<br />
4 people, which was directed by Jean Carr, was continued in Katowice. Jean Carr’s<br />
visits have been financed by IAAP for 5 years. Altogether, 15 people in the PDG take<br />
part in the training analysis. In PTPA there is one <strong>Jungian</strong> analyst who is an Individual<br />
Member of IAAP.<br />
Many PDG members have published their works and they took part in IAAP conferences<br />
in London, Zürich, Berlin and Orta San Giulio. During the conferences in Orta San<br />
Giulio and Zürich there were meetings with members of the IAAP board.<br />
In 2009 these activities will be continued. A <strong>new</strong> management board of PTPA will also<br />
be elected as a four-year term of the present management is expiring. Since the<br />
occasion presents itself, I would like to thank all people who, free of charge, engaged<br />
themselves in the development of analytical psychology in Poland and wholeheartedly<br />
supported PDG. I would also like to thank all those people from whom I received a lot<br />
of support during my personal training and development.<br />
On behalf of the whole PDG, we would like to invite everybody to Poland. We would<br />
like to ask all those interested not to wait until the next report, because all updated<br />
information about the PTPA activity can be found on a website www.cgjung.org.pl,<br />
which is partially in English.<br />

ROMANIAN ASSOCIATION FOR ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY(RAAP)<br />
Being one of the <strong>new</strong> Developing Groups of the IAAP, the Romanian Association for<br />
Analytical Psychology (RAAP) was established in November 2000 by only three<br />
founding members, and two years later an Analytical Psychotherapy Masters Program<br />
was already in place and running, having official recognition as a university based<br />
program.<br />
In the following few years, the community of members was enlarged and between<br />
2005 and 2007 RAAP members started to spread <strong>Jungian</strong> views to the public through<br />
two public workshops given at the National Psychology Fair of 2005, as well as 36 bimonthly<br />
conferences addressed to the general public.<br />
Our initial encounter with IAAP took place in June 2007, when Joe Cambray and<br />
Angela Connolly visited our group for the first time and spent two full and very<br />
rewarding days with us, delivering us three group-supervision sessions as well as a<br />
conference and establishing an authentic connection between our group and IAAP.<br />
Following this important meeting, the Developing Group in Romania was recognized<br />
and IAAP allocated an annual budget of CHF 3000 to our group. We send our gratitude<br />
to Angela and Joe, for their dedicated work in supporting us.<br />
By the end of 2007, our association comprised 63 members, out of whom 32 members<br />
are practicing as therapists or counselors.<br />
Our Developng Group activities during 2008 are summarized below:<br />
pg. 124
Concerning our Analytical Psychotherapy Masters Program, the 2008 students<br />
delivered their final papers during the month of March, thus finalizing their<br />
propaedeutic training.<br />
During the same month, our Continuing Education Program started with the first oneday<br />
training module: Constellation of destructivity, the evil shadow in analysis. This<br />
program is designed to train our licensed therapists and counselors wishing to gain<br />
deeper understanding of <strong>Jungian</strong> psychological theory and clinical practice. <strong>The</strong> above<br />
mentioned module was the first from a series of three scheduled for 2008. <strong>The</strong>se are<br />
one-day training sessions where senior members deliver case study reports and the<br />
participants, therapists and counselors working under supervision, are able to learn as<br />
well as discuss examples from their own practice.<br />
In april 2008, we were glad to meet Robert Hinshaw, our designated liaison officer<br />
travelling to Romania to meet us and work with our grup on setting our priorities and<br />
evaluating our needs as a Developing Group. After many rewarding meetings with<br />
Robert during his trip to Bucharest, our conclusions were clustered around the idea of<br />
receiving visits of IAAP senior analysts and trainers who would like to travel to<br />
Romania for supervision and personal analysis sessions as well as for delivering<br />
workshops and conferences. We take this opportunity to kindly thank Robert for his<br />
advice and support for our group and for our quality time together.<br />
During July, our Continuing Education Program went one step further with the second<br />
training module: Clinical techniques in analysis; Parental Complexes and Couple<br />
Relationships.<br />
Another training activity for therapists and counselors practicing under supervision<br />
took place in September and was dedicated to the Sandplay technique. A few months<br />
prior to this activity, participants were asked to complete a series of 12 sandtrays,<br />
and the main part of our three-day “out-of-town” workshop was to discuss the<br />
individual processes shown by each of the participants in their trays. <strong>The</strong> next stage<br />
will create sandplay supervision groups, while the participants will continue using the<br />
sandplay technique in their personal analysis as well as in working with their patients.<br />
During October, we were glad to welcome a <strong>new</strong> group of 23 people starting the first<br />
semester of their propaedeutic training within our four- semester Analytical<br />
Psychotherapy Masters Program.<br />
In November, it was time for the third module of our Continuing Education Program:<br />
Using counter transference in analysis.<br />
Another part of our Continuing Education Program is aiming to instruct supervisors and<br />
training therapists. This activity took place throughout the second part of 2008 and<br />
consisted of a series of meetings and workshops on various issues, such as: enhancing<br />
the supervisee's work, elaborating technique, elucidating transference and counter<br />
transference issues, proposing direction and focus to clinical inquiry.<br />
pg. 125
We are very pleased to announce the first official issue of the only Romanian online<br />
Analytical Journal: Chiron. <strong>The</strong> journal can be found on our website<br />
http://www.psihoterapieanalitica.ro/meniu_6_cheiron.php<br />
In addition, this year a <strong>new</strong> book was printed by the Romanian Academy Editorial<br />
House. <strong>The</strong> book title is <strong>The</strong>ology and Analysis and it was a collaboration among<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> analysts, philosophers and orthodox theologians. <strong>The</strong> coordinators of the book<br />
were M. Minulescu, M.Vasile, N. Branzea, I. Popescu.<br />
At the end of November 2008, our association counts 75 members, out of which 52<br />
members are practicing as therapists or counselors and 23 members are still in<br />
training. Our General Assembly meeting is schedued for December 5th and will discuss<br />
17 <strong>new</strong> membership requests waiting for approval. We estimate that by the end of<br />
December 2008, RAAP will be proud to report a total of 92 members.<br />
For the next year, our Developing Group is planning to continue the programs started<br />
in 2008, while adding <strong>new</strong> activities which will include IAAP’s participation and<br />
support. Our propaedeutic program will continue with the second and third semester<br />
of the Analytical Psychotherapy Masters Program, and during October a <strong>new</strong> group will<br />
start their training.<br />
Within our Continuing Education Program, we are planning for another set of sessions<br />
for psychotherapists and counselors working under supervision. One of the sessions<br />
will build upon last year’s work and will concern Sandplay in analysis; another<br />
workshop will discuss Fairy tales and symbols in analysis; and last but not least, we<br />
are planning to organize five training modules of theory and case studies concerning<br />
the Clinical techniques in analysis. <strong>The</strong> modules will cover the following issues:<br />
interpretation of symbolic materials, therapeutic relationship, modern perspectives<br />
on psychopathology, analytical relationship with terminally ill people, couples and<br />
relationships.<br />
Our current difficulties are related to the management of the high number of<br />
therapists working under supervision. We work in individual and group supervision as<br />
well as intervision groups in order to cover the needs for supervision. <strong>The</strong> real<br />
problem is that there are only ten supervisors, out of whom only four are very<br />
experienced in supervision activities. Given our difficulties in this area, we are hoping<br />
that one of the IAAP support areas in 2009 will consist of supervision visits and<br />
activities. We would be glad to receive IAAP support in other areas as well, such as<br />
personal and group analysis, intensive courses on various issues of interest (i.e. Ego<br />
development, Transference and counter transference; Sandplay practice),<br />
international support for our Continuing Education Program for supervisors and<br />
training psychotherapists.<br />
pg. 126
We would like to thank IAAP for their financial support and technical assistance and<br />
we look forward to the next year’s activities, visits and meetings as opportunities to<br />
share <strong>Jungian</strong> thought.<br />

MOSCOW INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP REPORT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Moscow supervision programme supported by the IAAP continues to thrive. During<br />
the course of 2008 eight candidates took their final exams in Moscow and qualified for<br />
membership of the IAAP:<br />
Lia Kinevskaya Maria Lomova<br />
Elena Rezanova Maria Shchapova<br />
Olga Sidelnikova Anna Skavitina<br />
Julia Vlasova Dmitry Zalessky.<br />
Seven of them joined the <strong>Jungian</strong> group in Moscow, bringing the total number to 14,<br />
and the other became the first <strong>Jungian</strong> analyst in Kiev, Ukraine.<br />
Demand for places on the programme remains high, and we are fortunate in being<br />
able to select good candidates for the training. All those taking part are academically<br />
well-qualified, experienced therapists working in hospitals and clinics, with private<br />
practices, who want to build on their <strong>Jungian</strong> knowledge by having IAAP-backed<br />
supervision, and in some cases, shuttle analysis.<br />
Penny Pickles and Martin Stone continue to coordinate the programme and supervise<br />
on it, and have been lucky to be supported by an enthusiastic team of supervisors and<br />
by shuttle analysts. We are sorry to lose two of the supervisors, Alex Esterhuyzen and<br />
Martin Schmidt, who will leave at the end of the year, having been on the programme<br />
since it started. Two of the shuttle analysts, Graham Fuller and Sally Jakobi, have<br />
pg. 127
also sadly just left the programme, and will be replaced by Ann Hopwood and Norah<br />
Smith.<br />
<strong>The</strong> analytic scene in Moscow (and in Russia as a whole) is expanding and fluid, with<br />
several different groups teaching in different institutes, putting on conferences,<br />
workshops and lectures, separately and in cooperation, and there is growing good will<br />
to work together within the IAAP-recognised RSAP, and in peer supervision. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
organised two big international conferences in 2008, in St Petersburg last winter and<br />
in Moscow in the summer, with participants from throughout Russia - Chelyabinsk,<br />
Kirov, Krasnoyarsk, Krasnodar, Perm, Niznevartovsk, Rostov-on-Don, Ryazan and Tula<br />
- and from Ukraine, Moldova and Kazakhstan. Several of the qualified Moscow<br />
analysts continue in their shuttle analysis, and many travel throughout Russia and<br />
other parts of the post-Soviet space, teaching and supervising, and encouraging the<br />
development and knowledge of <strong>Jungian</strong> psychology.<br />
<strong>The</strong> generous funding from the IAAP has now come to an end, and the programme is<br />
now financially supported solely by individual contributions from the candidates (in<br />
addition to the fees they pay), and by the Russian Revival Fund. <strong>The</strong> RRF raises<br />
money from concerts and other events, and has been supported by donations from the<br />
UK and Russia.<br />

Developing Group Reports : 2007-2008 : Russia (Moscow)<br />
ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY DEVELOPING GROUP -- ST. PETERSBURG (APDG)<br />
Initially, at the end of January 2008 (from the 18th of January to the 20th), our<br />
developing group carried out an annual theoretical and practical conference,<br />
“Analytical therapy: separation and individuation”. This conference has become<br />
traditional. That is why we are planning to hold the next one in January 2009, which<br />
will be devoted to the problem of individuation in a family. Usually, by that date, the<br />
pg. 1<strong>28</strong>
process of the publication of a compendium composed of the reports and articles (a<br />
part of which is provided by the community of analytical psychologists), presented<br />
during the previous conference, is completed.Thus the participants have the<br />
possibility to look through the materials of both conferences simultaneously.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next remarkable event ,which took place in October, was the visit of the board of<br />
examiners represented by Murray Stein and Angela Connolly. Over two days the initial<br />
and intermediate exams were held and this year there were no final exams. Most of<br />
the candidates succeeded in the examinations and some were proposed to try next<br />
year. All in all, the membership of the group has not changed, but soon two clinical<br />
psychologists will join the group. We are glad to accept them as we are interested in<br />
candidates who have a fundamental education and clinical experience.<br />
It was a pleasure that our supervisors from the British Council of Psychotherapy, Jan<br />
Wiener and Catherine Crowther, took part in the conference. Supervisions and<br />
masterclasses headed by them gave us a wonderful opportunity to obtain <strong>new</strong> clinical<br />
experience. <strong>The</strong> number of those who desired to participate in these supervisions<br />
exceeded the physical capacities of our guests. <strong>The</strong> greatest impression was made<br />
by the viewing of the film about the events in the inner world of a child after a birth<br />
and several weeks and months after it. We appreciate the availability of such<br />
materials.<br />
This summer, the negotiations concerning the creation of an analytical psychology<br />
section within the structure of the National Federation of Psychoanalysis has been<br />
completed. It is important for the developing group to keep in touch with colleagues<br />
of the other analytical schools, participate in discussions, conferences and have the<br />
opportunity to represent concepts of Carl Gustav Jung in the psychoanalytical<br />
community.<br />
In the framework of a developing group, we are continuing to search for optimal<br />
decisions concerning the organisation of theoretical educational programmes.<br />
Seminars devoted to discussions on different topics should be combined with regular<br />
meetings of the members in closed reading groups and discussions of Jung's and other<br />
analysts’ works. It seems that steps towards this organisational process are starting to<br />
yield results.<br />
Concerning the clinical education of members of the group, we highly appreciate the<br />
efforts of the project's coordinators, Jan Wiener and Catherine Crowther, to provide<br />
the realisation of the training programme. We are conscious of the importance of the<br />
main visits of teaching analysts and supervisors, as well as we are grateful for the<br />
additional possibilities, beyond the planned visits of specialists, and the provision of<br />
methodological and scientific materials. Unfortunately, we had to finish our<br />
cooperation with analysts Jane Knite and Mary Wilson , as their contracts expired. We<br />
are very much obliged to them for their work and participation in our progress in<br />
analytical therapy.<br />
pg. 129
<strong>The</strong> group regularly implements translations of articles into Russian; works of modern<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> analysts are especially interesting for us. <strong>The</strong>y are important for the<br />
members of the group to observe the dynamics in the development of analytical<br />
psychology from Jung to today, in all its variety.<br />
We are sure that the experience of our colleagues will stimulate further professional<br />
growth of the developing group in St. Petersburg.<br />

SERBIAN ANALYTICAL SOCIETY (SAS)<br />
Serbian Analytical Society ( SAS ) continued the programme of training in analytically<br />
oriented psychotherapy, during the academic year 2008, which was agreed at the<br />
meeting SAS members had with Dr Murray Stein, Dr Renos Papadopoulos (IAAP liaison)<br />
and the officials of the (Serbian) National Association for Psychotherapy, which took<br />
place around the time of the Mini Conference held in Belgrade in 2003.<br />
Participants of training in analytically oriented psychotherapy, had to take part in<br />
public lectures organized by SAS, workshops given by visiting IAAP analysts, and after<br />
a second year of education to start with personal analysis and supervisions. With 13<br />
trainees and 9 old members, SAS now has 22 members.<br />
SAS usually organizes two regular monthly meetings from September to July: the first<br />
lecture is aimed at introducing basic concepts of analytical psychology to the wider<br />
public (both professionals and non-professionals) and the second is peer supervision.<br />
<strong>The</strong> members of SAS had the great pleasure of working with visiting analysts and<br />
attending stimulating lectures presented by: Dr Mario Jacoby (SGPA), Dr Murray Stein<br />
(AGAP), Dr Josip Pasic (CSJA), Dr Jozef Magdic (AGAP) and Dr Mary Addenbrooke<br />
(SAP).<br />

Developing Group Reports : 2007-2008 : Serbia (Belgrade)<br />
<strong>The</strong> ASSOCIATION FOR ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY IN SLOVENIA<br />
This group has been meeting together since 2002 and was accepted as a developing<br />
group of the IAAP in 2007. Our Association has 20 members who meet regularly bi-monthly.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Association now aims to hold nine seminars a year, six conducted by the liaison person<br />
and a further three by visiting IAAP analysts. Some of the seminars have begun our<br />
exploration of the foundations of <strong>Jungian</strong> thought. Some have focussed on clinical practice.<br />
pg. 131
Premises have been kindly made available for these seminars by the Psychiatric Clinic of the<br />
University of Ljubljana.<br />
In May, Angela Connolly and Catherine Crowther visited Slovenia and interviewed five<br />
candidates on behalf of the IAAP for admission to the Individual Router Programme. A sixth<br />
member hopes to put in an application by the end of the year. A further programme of group<br />
supervision and also a reading discussion group for this group was begun in September of this<br />
year, conducted by the liaison person at the invitation of Tom Kelly. Meetings for this group<br />
will be held bi-monthly and the group will meet in between to plan and discuss their reading.<br />
Premises for these meetings have been generously lent by the Centre for Child and Adolescent<br />
Psychiatry. Some members are also in individual <strong>Jungian</strong> supervision with Dr Magdič, a<br />
Slovenian member of the IAAP.<br />
As much as possible, the material from Jung himself has been drawn from texts available in<br />
Slovene. This year the Association has discussed “Memories, dreams and reflections”. This<br />
text was available in Slovene. <strong>The</strong> seminars have explored the reframing of certain key<br />
<strong>Jungian</strong> concepts, using the helpful chapter ‘Analytic methods revisited’ in “Analytical<br />
Psychology. Contemporary perspectives in <strong>Jungian</strong> Analysis” by Joe Cambray and Linda Carter<br />
in order to do this. In June, Dr Caterina Vezzoli gave the first seminar in the series to be given<br />
by visiting analysts and will return to speak again in March 2009. Through her the Association<br />
has received a warm invitation from the President of CIPA in Milan for Individual Routers to<br />
attend their programme of events. We are very grateful to CIPA and to Dr Vezzoli for<br />
welcoming our trainees in this way and we look forward to developing this link in 2009.<br />
<strong>The</strong> group would like to thank the IAAP for the financial help that has been given towards the<br />
costs of developing the Association, Jan Wiener and Tom Kelly for generous support and<br />
advice, and Angela Connolly and Catherine Crowther for time generously given in order to<br />
conduct interviews as part of the Individual Routers programme. We look forward to<br />
developing our understanding of <strong>Jungian</strong> thought in the coming year.<br />

GAUTENG DEVELOPING GROUP<br />
<strong>The</strong> Gauteng Developing Group is looking back on a successful and stimulating year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> highlight of our year was undoubtedly the visit from Dr. Naomi Lowinsky from San<br />
Francisco. Naomi spent a whole week with us, giving us several seminars and supervision. It<br />
was a most thought provoking and interesting time. Through her sharing and openness she<br />
helped us to reflect on our inner self, which was very enriching.<br />
Another highlight was Julian David’s visit from England. Julian annually spends a week with<br />
us. His input is very much appreciated; we always look forward to his time with us. This year<br />
we arranged a weekend away with him in a beautiful place in nature. Nature enhanced his<br />
seminars about dreams and myth, which are always rich in content. Furthermore, we enjoyed<br />
visits from Patrick Tummon, Sheila Cowburn and Paul Ashton from SAAJA, Cape Town. It is<br />
important to us that analysts from SAAJA are willing to come to Johannesburg and present<br />
seminars which are always stimulating. Our own analysts from Gauteng, Elizabeth Martiny,<br />
Fernand Schaub and Leslie Zimmermann are of great value to us with their input. Of note<br />
were the seminars by Elizabeth about Gilgamesh.<br />
Some of our members attended the Mantis seminars of SAAJA in Cape Town during October.<br />
Peter Ammann and Robert Bosnak were the guest presenters. One of our members attended<br />
the joint IAAP/IAJS conference in Zürich in July, and also in July, the IASD (International<br />
Association for the Studies of Dreams) annual conference in Montreal.<br />
Last year we sadly said goodbye to Astrid Berg as our long standing liaison person. <strong>The</strong><br />
beginning of this year Patrick Tummon was appointed by the IAAP as our <strong>new</strong> liaison person.<br />
We are very pleased with this appointment and we enjoy a good working and also personal<br />
relationship with him.<br />
Our Developing Group seems to have developed somewhat differently from other Developing<br />
Groups in the world. We are one of the first groups. We seem different in that we mostly<br />
organize input from analysts ourselves. We don’t have a worked out teaching program for the<br />
year, we invite analysts who are willing to come to visit us. As a result we have had a variety<br />
of most respected and interesting analysts from all over the world presenting to us. Patrick<br />
is allowing us to continue in this way.<br />
We try to introduce Jung to the public by organizing reading groups and occasionally some<br />
members give a public lecture.<br />
Last year we started a so called second tier to our DG which consisted of therapists who had<br />
had very little or no input about<br />
C.G. Jung’s teachings. We put together a program of introductory lectures which were well<br />
attended. <strong>The</strong>rapists who were interested in continuing studying Jung have now been<br />
integrated into our group.<br />
pg. 133
Sadly, we lost a valuable member due to emigration. We like to wish Susan Ingle a<br />
prosperous future in her <strong>new</strong> country.<br />
We have currently two members who are training to become analysts following the Individual<br />
route and one member has just applied for the training.<br />
For next year we are looking forward to a visit from Tom Kelly in August. We are very<br />
pleased he is willing to come to South Africa.<br />
We would like to thank the IAAP for their generous contributions to us. <strong>The</strong>se contributions<br />
make it possible to invite overseas analysts, which makes our learning so rich.<br />
We would also like to thank Patrick Tummon for his time and valuable input to us as our<br />
liaison person. And last but not least a sincere thank you to all the analysts participating in<br />
our programme.<br />

GROUPE TUNISIEN D’ÉTUDES DE LA PSYCHOLOGIE ANALYTIQUE<br />
Following in the footsteps of the theoretical and clinical work we have carried out in<br />
previous years and according to the experience and the reflection that three of us had<br />
as participants in the IAAP international congress in Cape Town in 2007, we decided<br />
to devote the most important part of the IAAP grant for 2008 to the intensification of<br />
visits from the IAAP analyst in charge of the personal analysis of a large number of us.<br />
pg. 134
As a result, Dr Massimo Caci from Palermo, Italy, visited Tunisia 7 times, staying for 3-<br />
4 days each time, and making it possible for 11 of us to develop our personal<br />
experience of analysis. <strong>The</strong> sessions of personal analysis were paid at a local rate. We<br />
are extremely grateful to Dr. Caci for being so available and attentive to each of us.<br />
Concurrently, we met as a group on a regular basis, each session being devoted to the<br />
discussion of a key concept in Analytical Psychology or to the discussion of a clinical<br />
case in terms of peer supervision. Every session of this kind was introduced by one of<br />
us and led to further readings.<br />
As the majority of our members have a clinical practice as psychologists,<br />
psychotherapists or medical doctors, we deeply need, of course, to work with<br />
supervisors as well. This dimension of our personal and professional development has<br />
been unfortunately terribly limited. In the end, we only had the opportunity to have<br />
two visits of this kind during the course of this year: one from our IAAP liaison person,<br />
Prof. Christian Gaillard, from Paris, and another one from Dr. Bernard Sartorius, from<br />
Switzerland who, besides the theoretical and clinical working sessions he had with the<br />
Group, also gave a public lecture that was greatly appreciated by a large audience of<br />
Tunisian psychologists, practitioners in mental health and academics.<br />
Unfortunately we have recently had to deal with some difficult tensions among us,<br />
mostly concerning governance issues. We do hope that we will find the best possible<br />
solution to these current difficulties in the very near future.<br />
While one of us has been acknowledged as an IAAP Individual Member in the past and<br />
another of us who has been involved for some years in the “route” towards IAAP<br />
Individual Membership recently passed her “intermediate exam”, three others are<br />
actively preparing the documents required for admission to the “screening<br />
interviews” according to the IAAP rules. Many of our younger members wish to<br />
develop their skills as clinicians in the same way in the future.<br />

KIEV SOCIETY OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY<br />
Our group was recognized as an official IAAP Developing Group in 2003. It consists now of 21<br />
members, most of them being psychotherapists or psychiatrists.<br />
Since 2004, thanks to the support of IAAP, regular visits of IAAP analysts from Italy and France<br />
have been established. <strong>The</strong>se visits consisted of theoretical seminars, group or individual<br />
supervision sessions and individual analytical sessions. We are very thankful to Marina Conti<br />
from Milan, Italy, who was our liaison person from 2004 till 2007, as well as to Francois<br />
Caillet, from Paris, who regularly visited us as well, and to Francois Martin-Vallas who also<br />
came more recently from France to Kiev. <strong>The</strong>ir dedication and invaluable efforts allow our<br />
Group members to develop and identify themselves as <strong>Jungian</strong> therapists. We are also very<br />
happy that Christian Gaillard has accepted to become our liaison person since 2008. In<br />
collaboration with him and with the IAAP Executive Committee we can now set up a further<br />
stage of our educational and training programme.<br />
Dmitry Zalessky passed his final exam as “router” in April 2007, and we hope he will be<br />
officially recognized as IAAP Individual Member at the next IAAP international Congress in<br />
Montreal in 2010.<br />
At the beginning of August 2008, Christian Gaillard and John Hill visited us in Kiev and made<br />
the “screening interviews” for 9 members of our Group. It was a great event for us that all<br />
these 9 DG members have been recommended as IAAP “routers” : Yelena Pozdeeva, Olga<br />
Sikorskaya, Sergey Nedbaevsky, Yulia Kobzeva, Yuri Danko, Inna Kyrilyuk, Olga Kasyanenko,<br />
Yelizaveta Molostova and Konstantin Slepak. Oxana Zalesskaya has been an IAAP “router”<br />
since 2004, and she is now preparing her “intermediate exam”.<br />
For the time being, we are setting up and beginning with a consistent programme of<br />
supervision that will include regular visits of IAAP analysts to Kiev who will offer group and<br />
individual supervision sessions, theoretical lectures and seminars, which is vitally needed for<br />
the further development of our “recommended routers”. Richard Wainwright from London<br />
made a first visit to Kiev as supervisor between October 30 and November 2. He provided<br />
group supervision sessions for all our DG members and some specific sessions in small groups<br />
for our recommended routers. We feel inspired after his visit and we do hope that in 2009 he<br />
and possibly some other supervisors will continue to ensure our supervision training.<br />
As regards personal analysis, two <strong>Jungian</strong> analysts visited Kiev in the course of this year 2008 :<br />
Marina Conti from Milan, Italy, and Anna Konstantinova from St Petersburg, Russia. <strong>The</strong><br />
analytical sessions they offer are open to every member of our DG, within the limits of their<br />
time. Three members of our Group go to Moscow on a regular basis and have their personal<br />
analysis with IAAP analysts members of the Russian Association of Analytical Psychology. We<br />
are also waiting the visit of Yelena Pourtova, an IAAP member from Moscow, Russia, who will<br />
offer us seminars in December.<br />
Our programme has been made possible thanks to the financial support of the IAAP and to<br />
donations generously offered by the Wilhelm Bitter Stiftung in Stuttgart, the Hoerni-Jung<br />
pg. 136
Family, and the Network for Analytical Psychology in Eastern Europe-Gert and Rodtraud<br />

We are now building our plans for 2009 and hope that our further programme will develop<br />
with the active support of the IAAP and of the international <strong>Jungian</strong> community. We are<br />
deeply thankful to all who take part in our development, especially to Professor Christian<br />
Gaillard, who is our active IAAP liaison person, and to Marina Conti, Anna Konstantinova and<br />
Richard Wainwright, who have accepted to contribute to our personal and professional<br />
development.<br />

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY<br />
Analytical Psychology originated in<br />
the work of the Swiss psychiatrist<br />
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961).<br />
Offering a comprehensive model of<br />
the human psyche, analytical<br />
psychology includes a<br />
psychotherapeutic approach for<br />
improving mental health and<br />
facilitating maturation of the<br />
personality as well as a theoretical<br />
body of knowledge with wide<br />
applicability to social and cultural<br />
issues.<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />
<strong>The</strong> International Association for<br />
Analytical Psychology (IAAP) was<br />
founded in 1955 and is the<br />
accrediting and regulatory<br />
organization for all professional<br />
analytical psychologists’ groups. <strong>The</strong><br />
main objectives of the IAAP are to advance the understanding and utility of analytical<br />
psychology worldwide, and to ensure that the highest professional, scientific and<br />
ethical standards are maintained in the training and practice of analytical<br />
psychologists among its Member Groups.<br />
<strong>The</strong> IAAP addresses these objectives, in part, by organizing a regular triennial<br />
international congress and offering assistance to various regional and professional<br />
meetings. In addition to overseeing and financing the publication of the Congress<br />
Proceedings, the IAAP supports relevant research projects, and promotes the<br />
translation and dissemination of important contributions to the <strong>Jungian</strong> literature. As<br />
part of its mission to promote analytical psychology worldwide, the IAAP actively<br />

encourages the formation of Developing Groups in countries and regions without<br />
existing IAAP Groups and furthers their progress by organizing local courses and<br />
conferences, by supporting the growth of their libraries, and by assisting in ways that<br />
foster their integration into the larger community.<br />
As an international body, the IAAP promotes communication among its member groups<br />
and coordinates their activities. This is done by publishing a yearly Newsletter,<br />
maintaining a website (www.iaap.org), coordinating information about the<br />
professional status of analytical psychologists in different countries, and assisting its<br />
member societies to negotiate with the state authorities and with one another.<br />
Overall, the IAAP endeavours to facilitate the growth of local initiatives while<br />
remaining respectful of the autonomy of its member groups.<br />

FEES FOR IAAP MEMBERS : YEAR 2008<br />
IAAP SECRETARIAT NOTICE BOARD<br />
Dear Presidents, dear Treasurers and Secretaries of the IAAP Groups and Individual<br />
Members :<br />
May I remind you of the IAAP dues for this year. Most of you will know my letter sent<br />
in 2007 and know also the article 12 of the Constitution regarding membership fees.<br />
<strong>The</strong> IAAP constitution is available on the IAAP website after you login with your<br />
username and password: www.iaap.org.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Delegates at the last IAAP Congress in Cape Town in August 2007 voted on a slight<br />
increase of the membership dues from CHF 250.00 to CHF 258.00 for Groups and<br />
Individual members. <strong>The</strong>refore the dues are calculated as follows:<br />
Numbers of analysts belonging to your Society per 1st January 2008 (all members<br />
holding voting rights with your Group), minus the members holding voting rights with<br />
other Groups, minus possible Honorary Members, minus the members in your Group<br />
aged 75 years and beyond, multiplied by CHF 258.--. New members who join a Society<br />
after 30 June 2008 pay only half the amount of CHF 258.-, namely CHF 129.--.<br />
I kindly ask you to forward the current membership list of your Society to the IAAP<br />
secretariat, Postfach 6, CH-8042 Zürich, email: iaap@swissonline.ch . Please indicate<br />
which members are voting with your Group which members are voting with other<br />
Groups and indicate these Groups and how many members are exempted from dues<br />

addresses when available. Thank you.<br />
