ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the influence of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) and of Jungian analysts. It focuses on the development of the Jungian professional analytic community from the time of the Sigmund Freud/Carl Gustav Jung split in 1913. Jung’s work touches people in different fields. On the one hand, Jung started out as a psychiatrist and moved from studying psychosis, namely schizophrenia, to studying neuroses and then to normal people. Jung was the leader of the psychoanalytic group in Zurich at the time of the split in 1913. The graduates of the Institute in Zurich became members of IAAP by being part of a graduate’s organization entitled Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists of the Jung Institute of Zurich. The IAAP has no official connection to either academia or to any government. Therefore, the IAAP has no legal authority to decide who can call himself/herself a Jungian analyst or not.
