ABSTRACT
Analytical psychology in Australia and New Zealand developed later than comparable professional associations in Europe and the United States. Distances and expense of travel from other countries, and internally, were prohibitive until recently. Australia itself is approximately the size of the continental United States, and population centers are located mainly on the eastern seaboard, with the exception of Perth on the west coast and Alice Springs in the interior. The long distances, both within and to the outside world, have precluded intensive person-to-person contact with colleagues, slowing down the development of professional affiliations. Analysts settling in New Zealand and Australia practiced in relative isolation after obtaining their training in England or Switzerland.
