INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT
The Individual Membership Sub-Committee has a double function. As its name
suggests, on the one hand, it provides containment for the Individual Members and
functions as their official link to the IAAP, much like an IAAP Society. It is the
responsibility of this sub-committee to ensure that the Individual Members are
represented as a group at the Delegates’ Meeting and that their voice be counted
among the delegates. On the other hand, it also responsible for managing the
screening interviews as well as the intermediate and final exams for the Routers.
Routers are professionals who are working, en route, if you like, to become members
of the IAAP but who live in a country with no IAAP training society and often with
limited resources for Jungian analysis or supervision. The IAAP provides financial
support for these professionals to pursue their desire to become analytical
psychologists.
With respect to this second function, the Individual Membership Sub-Committee has
had another very active year in 2008. A total of eleven Routers from countries
including the Czech Republic (1), Ireland (1), Serbia (1), and Russia (8) successfully
completed the final exam. After ratification of the exam results by the Executive
Committee of the IAAP, these Routers will become Provisional Members. Routers who
complete the final exam can only become full members of the IAAP after a vote of
the delegates to accept them into membership at the Delegates’ Meeting of the
International Congress in Montreal in 2010. In the interim, they are considered
Provisional Members and as such they must agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of
the IAAP; they do not pay IAAP dues and are not listed on the IAAP Analyst Database
on the website.
Twelve intermediate exams with Routers from the Czech Republic, India, Serbia and
Russia and Poland were also given. Of these, ten Routers passed the exam and two
were unsuccessful.
A total of 55 screening interviews were given in 2008 of which 52 applicants were
recommended for acceptance as Routers. Upon ratification by the Executive
Committee, these successful applicants will officially become Routers of the IAAP.
2008 was a year where screening interviews were held for the first time in four
different countries: Colombia, Georgia, Slovenia and Ukraine. In May, Angela
Connolly and Catherine Crowther travelled to Slovenia for the first set of screening
interviews in that country. Both interviewing analysts were impressed with the five
applicants and recommended they be accepted. In July, John Hill and Christian
Gaillard held screening interviews in Georgia and then in the Ukraine. In Tbilisi, five
and in Kiev nine applicants were interviewed and recommended for acceptance.
In November, Luigi Zoja and Eva Pattis held seven screening interviews for applicants
in Colombia. All seven were recommended for acceptance as Routers. The work in
