INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY
OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY

A Jungian beacon for the world



WELCOME TO OUR PORTAL!

The International Academy of Analytical Psychology - www.iaap.pt - founded in
2013, is divided into three codependent projects: a school of analytical
psychology and personal development: www.academiajung.com; a multimedia project
- JungLab™ - for dissemination of Jungian content: www.youtube.com/c/junglab;
and, since 2022, a clinical project: the Jungian Clinical Institute: www.icj.pt

WE ARE PROUDLY AN INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION OF JUNGIAN PSYCHOLOGISTS  

Our mission is to spread the ideas of Carl Gustav Jung – whose work remains very
unexplored, even among ‘Jungians.’
We are based in Portugal, but our intentions are global wide. Continuing the
vocation of Portuguese navigators, famous for once having given the world new
worlds, we navigate the psyche. As psychonauts, we embrace this world of
discoveries that the psyche represents.
(*) Note that we do not intend to be connected, nor do we have any connection
with the “International Association for Analytical Psychology.”


WHAT IS OUR POSITION AND IN WHICH WE DIFFER FROM OTHER ASSOCIATIONS? 

First, defending the  substantial reality of the archetype  as the specificity
of analytical psychology. Archetypes are not adjectives or metaphors. Accept
that archetypes are real biological algorithms inherited from our evolutionary
past, human behavior becomes meaningful, especially significant in situations of
high emotional density in which we act according to old rules or patterns.
Unfortunately, given that mainstream contemporary psychology gives little or no
importance to the archetypal framework, it fails to understand human behavior
in-depth. Accordingly, analytical psychology can become the new paradigm in
psychology, bringing together the partial views of cognitive-behavioral
psychology, psychoanalysis, humanist psychology, social psychology, and others’
perspectives in psychology at a superior abstraction level. We are, therefore,
at the shores of a new psychological era. The awareness of archetypes makes them
evolve into more adaptive and updated forms with the reality we live in.

Second, defending that we are not “Jungian psychoanalysts.” Psychoanalysis is
psychoanalysis; analytical psychology is something else. This conceptual retreat
to a different paradigm by some non-psychologists is assumed to be a deviation
from the Jungian realm that we denounce and stand out.

Third, to the same extent that it is expected to be a medical surgeon operating
a patient – and not a lawyer or an economist –, we argue that the clinical
practice of analytical psychology belongs to psychologists or psychiatrists
(provided they specialize in analytical psychology). At the dawn of a new area,
it was not expected to work according to normal science parameters: in heroic
times, like Jung’s, we can’t be surprised that laypeople took on the role of
specialists. But times are different, and Psychology is today the area of
knowledge where psychotherapies fit, as advanced specialties (or practical
aspects) of it.

Therefore, we are really proudly an independent association of Jungian
psychologists. Our mission is to spread the ideas of Carl Gustav Jung – whose
work remains very unexplored, even among ‘Jungians.’
