LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

I am writing this message to you, having just returned from the first full meeting in Zurich at the beginning of February of the newly elected Executive Committee. At the same time, the Officers took the opportunity to meet in preparation for this first set of meetings, as well as a debriefing meeting afterwards, which for some of us meant that we spanned ten full days of IAAP work.

During this time, the Program Committee also met to discuss and recommend to the EC the theme for the next Congress. The XVIII IAAP Congress will take place in Montreal in August 2010. You will have further information about this, including its theme, from the Program Committee Chair, Tom Kelly, in this Newsletter. The Program Committee has chosen a wonderfully evocative theme which, I am sure, will elicit many creative proposals for presentations.

Before reporting to you the current situation of the IAAP and its many activities, I would like to put the present situation of the IAAP into its historical context. Thereby we may also have a glimpse, a vision, into its future. In 2005, we celebrated 50 years since the first group of 29 analysts founded the IAAP on the occasion of C. G Jung’s 80th birthday. Today, the IAAP numbers its membership at almost 2900 analysts around the world, with 51 constituent Societies, 60 Individual Members, and 19 officially recognized Developing Groups. The almost hundredfold increase in membership since 1955 attests to the robustness of interest in, and commitment to, Jungian clinical practice and scholarship around the globe.

This increase in membership is paralleled by an increase in the complexity in the responding structures and content of IAAP activity. From its beginnings, when the President and a small number of VicePresidents carried out the bulk of the activities of the IAAP, we now have three Standing Committees (the Ethics Committee, Program Committee, and Organizing Committee), eight SubCommittees (Developing Groups; Individual Membership; Academic; Honorary Membership; Society Applications; Publications and Communication; Finance; Fund Raising), and four new Working Parties. At the end of this report, you will find a list of all the IAAP working groups and their current membership. You will also find an organizational chart showing the structure of the IAAP, with lines of accountability. The striking principle in the current organizational structure is the devolution of responsibilities into the SubCommittees and Working Parties, where membership in some instances includes those who are not members of the EC, but who have expertise to contribute in particular areas of IAAP activities.

The new Executive Committee put in place a number of innovations to support the burgeoning activities of the IAAP, so as to respond organizationally through evolving structures and methods of good governance. A pivotal change was to appoint a Finance Officer and a Finance SubCommittee, in response to a felt need to set out the finances in order to diminish confusion and anxiety. Joe Cambray, our new Finance Officer, worked in close collaboration with Mr. Daniel P a g e | 6

Gubser, the IAAP accountant, and myself, to reorganize our financial statements in a more understandable way. We trust that this will provide the Executive Committee with a comprehensible working document for the next three years, such that at the next Delegates’ meeting the explanation of the IAAP finances will be clearer. We all need to feel that the finances that underpin our IAAP activities are viable. I am very pleased to report that a thorough review by the Officers and the Executive Committee of the 2007 financial statements, supported by an internal audit conducted by Angela Connolly and Marianne Muller, found that the IAAP finances are in a healthy state, and that we have the means to continue prudently with the activities which we already have agreed upon.

Alongside this initiative, four new Working Parties were also put in place. Firstly, the Child and Adolescent Working Party, cochaired by Jörg Rasche and JoAnn CulbertKoehn, has been established. At present, there is no official designation within the IAAP of child and adolescent practitioners, nor is there a forum for shared information about training and practice in Jungian child and adolescent analysis. The first task of the Working Party is to gather information about current child and adolescent training and work within the IAAP community. The membership of the Working Party has been drawn from across the IAAP, representing societies working and training now or in the past in this area.

Secondly, the Training Models Working Party, chaired by Jörg Rasche, has been established to continue the work begun by Denise Ramos, who, in a previous administration, had researched across the IAAP constituent societies about the various models of Jungian analytic training. We are very fortunate that Denise has returned to the Executive Committee, and will participate in the work of this group.

Thirdly, it was decided to evolve the previous Study Group for Professional Organization and Development into the Governance Working Party, chaired by Paul Kugler. This Working Party will have sight of the overall governance of the IAAP and expand on Guidelines already worked out by the Study Group. One of its first tasks is to consider the feasibility of revising the IAAP’s Constitution and Bylaws in light of various inconsistencies in it that can impede smooth functioning. Since its first ratification on 31 August 1962, the Constitution has been revised 9 times, and the Bylaws 6 times. The accumulation of so many changes has meant that the Constitution can be difficult to interpret, resulting in discrepancies that necessitate the expense of legal consultation on a number of occasions during the course of an administration.

Fourthly, it was also decided to constitute a Working Party on Mediation, chaired by Marjorie Nathanson, which had previously been a subgroup of the Study Group for Professional Organization and Development. There has been an increasing call on the IAAP to act as a resource in situations where disputes within or between societies needed facilitation, and to help clarify conflictual situations in order to help find an optimal outcome, whether that be reconciliation or P a g e | 7

differentiation. Currently, the IAAP wishes to develop an area of expertise where it could act in such a way as to help its constituent societies in such situations.

One of the most important areas of concern for me as I begin this Presidency is how to reach out to and exchange views with all members of the IAAP community, such that the membership feels included under the IAAP umbrella and thus more engaged with our activities. We have several important means of communications to our membership: the Website, the Newsletter, and the Congress Proceedings. Don Williams, our diligent Webmaster, also maintains several email lists, such as the one to all Society Presidents, to the whole of the IAAP membership, and to the Developing Groups.

Many of you will have been aware of the calamitous event in October 2007, when the whole of the contents of the IAAP’s website was lost when the server went down. It was a tremendous blow to the IAAP, but, even more, a trauma for Don Williams, who suddenly perceived that his work of years had been eradicated. Since October, careful work has gone on to reestablish, and to revise, the Website, such that we are set to have a more userfriendly communications tool by which to gain information and facilitate exchange about Jungian activities around the globe.

Our Newsletter is now ready, with this communication, to be reinstated on the Website. We have also agreed to publish in hardcopy one issue of the Newsletter per administration in order to save on expenses. A new Newsletter Editor will be announced in due course. Angela Connolly, as Communications Officer and Chair of the Publications and Communication SubCommittee, is overseeing all this essential IAAP activity. With respect to the Congress Proceedings, Pramila Bennett is editing these, an important tool for communicating the content of our work as Jungian analysts as it emerges from the presentations at our Congresses. Herewith is a statement from Don about audio and video available on website:

At the IAAP website (www.iaap.org), hold your mouse over "Media" on the top horizontal menu, then move your mouse down to "Audio," then horizontally to "Cape Town : Plenaries" and click. The next page lists the Plenaries‐‐click the red play button. On the next page make your selection from the "dropdown" menu of links to the audio files. Be sure your speakers are on, click on your selection, the audio file will begin playing as the file loads, and you can use the pause and play buttons and the slider bar to control your listening experience. When one audio file ends, the next begins automatically.

Many of you will know of our outreach projects, whether these are in the Developing Groups, the Individual Router program, or else where we sponsor research projects, cosponsor conferences, engage in relations with allied organizations, or give seed money to those conferences under the aegis of the IAAP. P a g e | 8

Regarding cosponsorship of conferences, there is the forthcoming IAAPIAJS conference in Zurich in July, 2008, the next China conference in March 2009, and the first European conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, in June 2009. We have given seed money for a conference on the Origins and Development of Analytical Psychology in Italy (November 7 9, 2008), and a conference on Jungian Child and Adolescent work (November 27 – 30, 2008), in Italy. It is also envisaged that future conferences on topics close to the Jungian opus will be cosponsored.

Please pay close attention to the report of Tom Kelly, Chair of the Program Committee, regarding the 2010 Congress in Montreal. I agree very much with Murray Stein when he stressed in the 2003 Newsletter that our Congresses are essential to the life of the IAAP. They are especially important because they set the rhythm for IAAP work, providing the focus for professional exchange and international embodiment, at the global level, ensuring that our identity continues to evolve through our ongoing contact, as we recently experienced to such overwhelming success at Cape Town. We certainly have regional centers that mount their local conferences – the North American Conference and meeting of CNASJA (September 18 – 21, 2008 in Sebasco, Maine), the South American Conference (set for September 2009 in Santiago de Chile), the China conference in Shanghai (from March 27 – 29, 2009) and, more recently, the first European conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, in June 25 – 28, 2009. These important vehicles for regional identity and exchange are a part of our global identity, as spokes on the wheel of a hub, and contribute to the IAAP’s evolution. But it is at our triannual Congresses, and at the Delegates’ Meeting embedded in them, where we ensure the organic development of the IAAP as a whole, providing a vehicle whereby we can be responsive to the entire membership, and where the IAAP as an entity can emerge, evolve, and grow. This arises through our personal contacts with each other at our Congresses, our debates there, our exchanges, and, finally, through the decisions which we vote upon democratically at the Delegates’ Meetings. It is through the interaction of all of these that the IAAP moves forward.

Finally, I want to thank our administrative support ‐‐ Yvonne Trueb who helps us in our Zurich office, and Mariuccia Tresoldi who takes care of the IAAP secretariat from Milano. Mr Martin Amsler, our Tresurer and Lawyer, is our constant legal guide in Zurich. Mr. Daniel Gubser ensures that our finances are accurately recorded and presented. None of the work of the IAAP could continue safely and securely without their invaluable assistance. P a g e | 9

I will end this report by saying how very pleased I am to serve the IAAP membership as its President. It is a great privilege and honor, and one of its most important personal benefits is the opportunity to communicate and meet with so many wonderful colleagues around the globe.

With all my good wishes

Hester McFarland Solomon

President, IAAP P a g e | 10

HONORARY SECRETARY’S REPORT 2007

As this is my first report as Honorary Secretary, I would like to begin by giving a brief history of my relation to the IAAP. Between 1995 and 2001, I served on the Executive Committee during the Verena Kast and Luigi Zoja Administrations. This was a time when the IAAP was just beginning to expand its administrative structure, increasing the number of elected representatives on the Executive Committee and starting to develop subcommittees and working parties. Robert Hinshaw served as Honorary Secretary during the Kast Presidency and Andrew Samuels held the position in the Zoja Administration. During my time on the Executive Committee, I helped draft the IAAP NonDiscrimination Clause and served as the first chair of what is now called the Society Applications SubCommittee. Hester Solomon and I also worked together to draft the brief for the establishment of the IAAP Ethics Committee.

At the Florence IAAP Congress in 1998, Verena Kast presented constitutional amendments setting term limits for serving on the Executive Committee which were accepted by the Delegates of the IAAP. This further encouraged greater participation of the IAAP Membership in the international affairs of the organization. As the IAAP has grown and moved towards more diverse representation on the Executive Committee, the need for administrative infrastructure has also grown. From 2001 to 2007, during the Murray Stein and Christian Gaillard Administrations, careful organizational ground work has been done to build solid governance structures in areas ranging from Ethics and New Society Applications to Individual Members and Developing Groups. Today the EC has eleven Standing Committees and three Working Parties, all actively engaging the talents of the Officers and elected representatives in fulfilling the obligations laid out in our Constitution.

The year 2007 has been very active for the IAAP. The Council of Societies met in Zürich in February to prepare for the Cape Town Congress Delegates’ Meeting. Among the many items on their agenda, perhaps the most important were the proposed amendments to the IAAP ByLaws. The first proposed amendment addressed the time frame defining when the Council of Societies could meet prior to the IAAP Congress. The second proposed amendment addressed the requirement for “Group Membership” in relation to where the founding members live in relation to the site of the new Group. And the third proposed amendment removed the submission date of “Applications for Membership”. The statement in the ByLaws, prior to the amendment, stated that the applicants must “reach the Chairman of the Executive committee at least 28 days before the Meeting of the Delegates.” The proposed amendment removed “at least 28 days” and referred the applicant to the P a g e | 11

Secretariat. (“Applications for membership shall be made in accordance with particulars obtainable from the Secretariat.”).

This later amendment was intended to bring the Bylaws in line with the other working documents of the IAAP. Since its ratification on the 31st of August 1962, the Constitution has been revised nine times and the ByLaws have been revised six times. The accumulation of so many amendments to the Constitution and ByLaws since 1962 has led to a kind of patchwork document. One of the tasks needing to be addressed by the Executive Committee in the future will be the careful revision of the constitution so as to remove inconsistencies and craft all the past amendments into a more accessible and integrated document.

The Amendments approved at the Delegates’ Meeting in Cape Town were the following:

“The Council of Societies is convened by the President of the IAAP. It shall take place every three years in conjunction with the meeting of the Executive Committee no later than five months prior to the IAAP International Congress. The members of the Executive Committee will be invited to participate.”

“Applications for membership shall be made in accordance with particulars obtainable from the Secretariat.”

“It is expected that the founding members reside in the applicants general locality.”

The Cape Town Congress in August with its theme of “Journeys / Encounters: Clinical – Communal – Cultural” was a great success with over 500 registrants and a balanced budget. The Program Committee, chaired by Joe Cambray, produced one of the most exciting and stimulating Congresses to date. Astrid Berg and the local Organizing Committee also did an excellent job setting up and running the Congress which resulted in a rich and memorable experience for all in attendance.

The Delegates’ Meeting took place on Wednesday afternoon of the Congress, and the officers for the new administration were elected. Hester Solomon (BAP) was ratified as President; Joe Cambray (NESJA) was elected PresidentElect; Tom Kelly (IRSJA) and Jörg Rasche (DGAP) were elected VicePresidents; I was appointed Honorary Secretary; and Mariuccia Tresoldi was appointed the IAAP’s President Secretariat (iaap.president.secretariat@usa.net). The following Societies were elected to be represented on the new Executive Committee: AJAJ, AJB, CGILA, CGJISF, CIPA, IIJP, SAP, SBrPA, and SGAP. The representatives from these Societies on the new Executive Committee will be: Walter Boechat (AJB), Angela Connolly (CIPA), JoAnn CulbertKoehn (CGJILA), Toshio Kawai (AJAJ), Tamar Kron (IIJP), Marianne Müller (SGAP), Marjorie Nathanson (CGJISF), Denise Ramos (SBrPA), and P a g e | 12

Jan Wiener (SAP). Immediately following the Delegates Meeting, the new Chair of the Ethics Committee, Richard Willetts (CGJISF), was also appointed. The new Executive Committee met briefly in Cape Town to begin the process of making SubCommittee and Working Party appointments and the first extended meeting of the Executive Committee will take place in February 2008 in Zürich.

During the presentation of the Financial Report at the Delegates’ Meeting in Cape Town, a certain frustration was expressed in relation to the need for more clarity in presenting the IAAP’s finances. In response to this need, Hester Solomon, with the Executive Committee’s agreement, has created the new role of Finance Officer as a member of the Executive Committee. Joe Cambray has agreed to take on this position and with the help of Martin Amsler, the IAAP treasurer, he will be responsible for overseeing the IAAP finances to ensure that the Executive Committee closely monitors budgetary matters. The careful oversight of the IAAP finances had already begun in the previous administration with the establishment of a system of internal audit. Angela Connolly and Jörg Rasche conducted the first internal audit in February 2007 and Angela Connolly and Marianne Müller will conduct the internal audit for the coming year in February 2008. The Delegates also voted in favour of a 3% (8 CHF) IAAP dues increase per year for each of the next three years.

At the Delegates Meeting we also had the pleasure of admitting 38 new Individual Members from 11 different countries: Chile, Czech Republic, Ireland, Korea, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Serbia, Sweden and Russia. These new members are all professionals who have fulfilled the requirements for Individual Membership in the IAAP and were recommended to the membership by the Executive Committee. They were officially welcomed into membership by the president, Christian Gaillard, and received a warm applause from the delegates.

The Cape Town Delegates’ Meeting concluded with the selection of Montreal as the site for our 2010 Congress. This is the first time an IAAP Congress will be held in Canada and we look forward to being hosted by our Canadian colleagues. Tom Kelly has been appointed Chair of the Program Committee, and Jan Bauer has been appointed Chair of the Organizing Committee. In February 2008, the Program Committee will meet in Zürich to decide on the theme for the 2010 Congress.

A milestone of the Congress was the presence of Alain Gibeault, SecretaryGeneral of the International Psychoanalytic Association. He attended the Congress and copresented a plenary session with Christian Gaillard on Paleolithic rock art. This marked a further step forward in the professional collaborations between the IAAP and IPA. The photograph of Christian Gaillard, Alix Gaillard and Alain Gibeault is from the Friday evening banquet celebrating the closing of the Congress. Participants at the banquet had their faces painted in traditional designs with white paint. The warmth, generosity of spirit and hospitality of our South African hosts will long be remembered! P a g e | 13

The Officers next met in late November in London to prepare for the first extended meetings of the Executive Committee and Program Committee in Zürich in February 2008. The three day meeting allowed the Officers time to review all the reports of the major SubCommittees, prepare for the upcoming Executive and Program Committee meetings in Zurich and, perhaps most import, to begin to get to know each other and come together as a working group. The meeting was very productive on an administrative level and deeply rewarding personally. I look forward to the next three years of this administration and working closely with the Officers and other members of the Executive Committee.

Respectfully submitted,

Paul Kugler, Honorary Secretary

PUBLICATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE

The primary task of the Publications and Communications SubCommittee is to coordinate and monitor the functioning of the various organs of communication of the IAAP: the website; the Newsletter; the List of Members and the Congress Proceedings. The SC is also concerned with optimising and speedingup communications through the use of new and innovative technologies.

The vital importance of the website was dramatically brought home to us on the 11th of October when our web host crashed and the website suddenly went offline. Thanks to the hard work of our webmaster Don Williams and Lucian Apostol, our database manager, the times of this crisis were relatively short and a temporary website is now up and running. Although the crisis is now almost past and the website is partially functioning again we hope to use this moment to address the problem of making the IAAP website more secure and userfriendly. We would welcome any suggestions and feedback from our members. Further details on the crisis and on the use of the website are available in the report of the IAAP Webmaster.

The 28th Newsletter will once again be online rather than in hard copy in order to cut down costs as much as possible and it should be ready for posting early P a g e | 14

in 2008. The call for a new editorship for the Newsletter has once again been made and hopefully a new editor should be appointed in 2008.

A new IAAP Members’ List, edited by Karen Hodges, was published in March 2007 and we will soon begin to work on an new edition to be published in 2010.

Pramila Bennett, the Proceedings Editor for the South African Congress is already hard at work collecting and editing all the papers and Robert Hinshaw of DaimonVerlung has agreed in principle to publish the Proceedings of the Cape Town Conference which as before will take the form of a book accompanied by a CDROM.

The SC is also looking into the question of video conferencing technology and we will continue to investigate the various possibilities.

INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT, 2007

The Individual Membership SubCommittee is the container for those IAAP members who are live and work in isolated areas of the world where there is currently no IAAP Constituent Society. Prior to the International Congress in Cape Town in August, there were 42 Individual Members in total. This SubCommittee is also responsible for the Router program which helps professionals in countries where there is no IAAP training society who wish to become Jungian analysts.

2007 was a very busy year with much activity for the Individual Membership SubCommittee in the buildup to the Congress in Cape Town. In the course of the past year, sixteen screening interviews, twelve intermediate exams and seventeen final exams were given. This momentum culminated at the Delegates’ Meeting in Cape Town where the Delegates of the IAAP voted to accept the following, all of whom had completed the rigorous requirements of the Router program, as Individual Members of the IAAP: P a g e | 15

from Chile: Marta Bachino, Maria Paz Abalos, Arlette Gillet, Claudia Grez Villegas;

from the Czech Republic: Ervin Siroky, Jana Vaskova, Pavel Zach;

from Ireland : Inger Nolan; Aileen Young;

from Korea: Lee DoHee, Hyunsoon Park, Moonsung Rhee;

from Lithuania: Elona Ilgiuviene, Goda Ruksaite, Andzela Rybakoviene, Algirdas Petronis, Agne Sadauskiene, Ieva Bieliauskiene;

from Mexico: Claudia Juvin, Hector Moran;

from the Netherlands: Marlies van Boxtel, Marcel van den Akker;

from Poland: Krzysztof Rutkowski;

from Russia : Natalia Alexandrova, Elena Bashkatova, Vsevolod Kalinenko, Elena Pourtova, Tatiana Rebeko, Rinat Galiev, Nikita Chetverikov, Irina Zubova, Madina Slutskaya, Marina Shamonina, Elena Zamfir, Olga Lebedeva;

from Serbia: Zanet Princevac de Villablanca, Svetlana Zdravkovic ;

and from Sweden: Gunila Midböe.

These new members were warmly welcomed into membership by everyone at the Delegates’ Meeting. On behalf of the entire membership of the IAAP, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate each new member and to wish them well in their future endeavours as Jungian analysts.

Many of these newly certified members, for example those from Korea and Russia, will have the opportunity to become members of their local society and will thus not remain Individual Members of the IAAP. Others will join the members of their local community and, when there is a sufficient number of analysts, they will qualify to apply to become a non Training Society.

The record number of newly certified Individual Members of the IAAP reflects well the efforts that are being made worldwide by Routers and the many analysts involved in their teaching, analysis and supervision. As any one of these newly certified members can testify, becoming an Individual Member of the IAAP through the Router program is a long, demanding and arduous process which requires patience, resourcefulness, determination and stamina. As we look ahead to 2008 with this new administration at the helm of the IAAP, we intend to turn our attention to examining ways of improving what is offered to the Routers and the quality of the training they receive. This represents a major challenge since the resources available locally for training vary tremendously from one country to the next. This challenge represents an opportunity to stimulate the creative energies of the members of the Individual Membership SubCommittee and it is a challenge we look forward to taking on. We also look forward to keeping you informed of our efforts in these yearly Newsletter reports. P a g e | 16

The Ethics Committee of the IAAP was instituted in August 2001 through an Amendment art 10 – of the Constitution. P a g e | 17

Its main functions are to:

               maintain and periodically revise a document to be approved by the Executive Committee entitled “ Responsibilities and Procedures of the Ethics Committee”;

               receive complaints as defined in the document;

               consult with Individual Members and Group Members, analyst members of Group Members and Developing Groups of the IAAP on ethical matters;

               hear complaints about Group Members not having followed their own complaints procedures and, if necessary, ask the Group Member to review their action;

               advise the IAAP on ethical matters;

               act as a resource for all IAAP members on ethical matters;

               review and approve the Codes of Ethics and Procedures of new Group Members to insure that the minimal standards have been met, upon their application for recognition by the IAAP.

 

Up to the present date the designated functions have been accomplished, and both annual and ad hoc reports sent to the Executive Committee.

Two documents were completed: the above mentioned “Responsibilities and Procedures of the Ethics Committee,” and the one entitled “Guidelines for Minimal Standards in Codes of Ethics for the Member Groups of the IAAP” a basic model for Ethics Principles, rules and procedures to be observed by all IAAP’s Constituent Societies.

The IAAP’s Ethics Code for Individual Members has been updated and the specific codes of Societies that so requested have been revised.

Cases forwarded to the Committee were evaluated upon detailed, careful analysis of information.

Numerous requests for guidance on diverse issues were attended to, especially doubts regarding the Code of Ethics and forwarded complaints. It is important to point out that the adjudication of an ethics complaint is the responsibility of the Society in which such complaint was made, and that the Committee has jurisdiction only for complaints against Individual Members or where a complaint shows that local Society did not follow its own ethics rules and procedures.

The Committee aims for a consulting organization geared mainly towards guidance and counseling work, with the function of judging when necessary.

The Committee carried out research on Ethics in Training, asking for returns on the issue from the IAAP Societies. This exploratory research aims to facilitate discussion on the theme amongst the diverse Societies and Institutes, building on a common reflection. P a g e | 18

A “case book” was also planned, with analysis of stimulating situations.

A guideline for the path to be followed can only be delineated in its general principles, providing an adequate model for the proposed work and aim of the Committee:

               respect for diversity and distinct opinions,

               collaboration amongst Committee participants and willingness to share experiences,

               careful analysis of the variables in ethical complaint cases, and openness to hearing with equal attention and respect all parts involved,

               interest in encouraging an ethical culture, a reflection on ethics principles amongst the IAAP Societies,

               principally, awareness that judging is a task of responsibility visàvis the other and one’s own self, differentiating complexes, be they individual or cultural, that influence the result of the judgment,

               marked democratic accessibility, attentive to values, whether common human values or those belonging to different cultures,

               respect for the integrity of individuals and groups requesting an appraisal.

 

These were the guiding principles for work accomplished and member interaction, to be continued as general indicators, with each task being approached in its specificity.

CONGRESS ORGANIZING COMMITTEE REPORT

XVIIth IAAP CONGRESS IN CAPE TOWN

12th – 17th AUGUST 2007

The Congress is now successfully behind us. 520 colleagues from 36 countries attended and the vast majority had a unique experience – for many this was the first time they had ever been in the Southern Hemisphere and in Africa. Initially there had been much concern about the feasibility of hosting a Congress so far from the original source of Analytical Psychology; we had to deal with much real and imagined fear, but also with considerable shadow projections.

The Cape Town International Convention Centre proved to be the perfect location for this event. The fact that we were in one place all the time, including the lunch breaks helped with creating an atmosphere of togetherness. The exhibit organized by an enthusiastic group of local artists transformed parts of the building into a visual feast.

The collaborative relationship I had with Deborah McTeer of the Conference Management Centre deserves special mention: without her and her team, particularly Jolandi Ackermann, none of what was there in terms of organization, would have been possible. Deborah’s meticulous attention to detail, her open and common sense attitude, her honesty and fearlessness in naming a spade a spade, made working together with her a privilege and a learning experience. This is also concretely reflected in the sound budget which in the end had only a relatively minor deficit.

The opening and closing ceremonies – with the Procantu Youth Choir and the Masilande Endulo children’s dance group from Khayeltisha set the frame for much of the content of the Congress.

We were fortunate to have had so many prominent South African speakers who gave impressive plenary papers which received standing ovations. A special edition of the Journal of Analytical Psychology is being put together with these contributions.

The lively debates regarding traditional healing brought outside reality into the intellectual discourses, which usually exist very separately in different worlds – a bringing together which should be fundamental to an IAAP Congress.

Ian McCallum’s talks too were a combination of nature and theory conveyed with his infectious enthusiasm. We were only sad that Ian Player, who was made an Honorary Member of the IAAP, could not be present to receive this distinction.

Lee Roloff, who originally came from Chicago and now lives in Seattle, celebrated his 80th birthday on the Wednesday 15th August 2007. As he was one of the first analysts to help establish the South African group, this was a special event; P a g e | 20

he was deeply moved to have come back and be so warmly received. We will also all remember the play “Out of the Shadows” about Emma Jung and Toni Wolf which he was very closely involved with.

The final dinner at Moyo proved to be a fitting closure – the food was wonderful, the dancing was joyous and in the end, the waitresses were our choreographers: this too made perfect sense!

This Congress has resonated widely within the general IAAP membership and many emails and letters of appreciation have been received.

I am grateful to the Local Organizing Committee members of SAAJA for their support. My colleagues’ readiness to host our guests – for accommodation and for the hospitality evening – is acknowledged and much appreciated.

I also thank Joe Cambray and the Programme Committee for the good working relationship that was maintained.

My special thanks however go to all who could understand the importance of this IAAP event having taken place away from the northern safe ‘home’, in a developing country where shadow dynamics of power and prejudice have to be confronted on a daily basis dynamics which contain the essence of what has to be dealt with globally, now and in the future.

XVII IAAP CONGRESS PROGRAM COMMITTEE REPORT

In the first IAAP Congress to be held in Africa, at its southern edge, Cape Town, South Africa, a remarkable number of professionals attended, about 520 from 36 countries. The experience of Africa permeated the Congress, from its opening cocktail party that featured the Procantu Youth Choir, to the thrilling dance performances at the closing. Our local hosts, SAAJA did a splendid job under the leadership of the chair of the Organizing Committee, Astrid Berg, ensuring that everyone had many opportunities for a rich experience. P a g e | 21

Having the Congress venue in a country with a complex political, social and economic history caused the Program Committee to consider opening presentations to nonJungian speakers from the region. This was reflected in the title and theme of the Congress: Journeys__Encounters, with Clinical—Communal—Cultural dimensions. Thus the Program Committee opened the program to include representatives of the culture of the site, a decision which was well rewarded. The keynote address by a remarkable South African woman with many credits to her name, Mamphela Ramphele, brought to audience to a standing ovation. We were quickly taken in the heart of many of the political and historical dilemmas of South Africa with the talk “How to speak of sociopsychology in a Nation in transition.” This was followed by a presentation on “Trauma, Forgiveness and the Witnessing Dance: Making Public Spaces Intimate” by South African psychologist author Pumla GobodoMadikizela. Again the audience was on its feet in appreciation after the talk. The two other plenary sessions of the opening day were also on South Africa, given by IAAP members who have had long histories of involvement there: Cathy Kaplinski (SAP,) and Renos Papadopoulos (IGAP) together with honorary member Graham Saayman.

Several other South Africans from outside the Jungian community gave plenary sessions through the week: journalist, translator and author Antjie Krog spoke on the complexity and difficulties of translation, especially as this impacted the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC); artist and photographer Karina Turok joined a panel put together by John Beebe (CGJISF), with Michael Vannoy Adams (JPA) and Sam Kimbles (CGJISF), discussing imagery in contemporary perspectives on Africa; psychoanalyst and neuroscientist Mark Solms spoke on “Brain Mechanisms of Dreaming,” responded to by Margaret Wilkinson (SAP).

IAAP members from various countries gave plenary sessions in a number of different languages. These explored a wide range of cultural and clinical topics from race, racism and interracialism in Brazil, by Walter and Paula Pantoja Boechat (AJB) to the figure of the stranger in the analytic setting by Uwe Langendorf (DGAP), to a study on the “transferential chimera” by François Martin Vallas (SFPA). Encounters with native healers were discussed both in a plenary session by Suzanne Maiello (AIPA) and in several breakout sessions, and the final plenary sessions focused on aspects of the numinous, from a paper on African oracles by Sherry Salman (JPA), to a panel explicitly on the idea of the numinous chaired by Ann Casement (AJA), with John Dourley (AGAP), Murray Stein (SGAP) and Ann Ulanov (JPA).

In the afternoons there were multiple, simultaneous break out sessions loosely arranged in topical bands, often with group presentations going over several days. From “rock art” to research, AIDS, ethics, and voids; from academics to sandplay, with mediation, as well as worldwide reactions to Jung, the mix was extraordinary. The clinical, communal and cultural aspects of our theme were thoroughly explored. Presentations demonstrating the value of traditional P a g e | 22

approaches were alongside innovative talks drawing on other disciplines (e.g., literary, philosophical, and scientific).

To allow a place for works in progress, the Program Committee invited poster sessions and 13 presentations from around the world were selected. There was also a installation, a reconciliation labyrinth that participants visited and walked.

Prior to the actual Congress, Joan Chodorow (CGJISF) organized a group of presenters who gave a preCongress movement workshop that was fully subscribed. This carried over into the Congress itself as somatic awareness was a topic in various presentations. The Social Dreaming Matrix formed an important early morning point of entry for a number of registrants as was a late afternoon reflective process each day.

The fullness of the schedule included lunch time activities: films, such as on the TRC, and theatrical performances, notably one on the relationship between Toni Wolff and Emma Jung were among the events. Evening events rounded out the days. On one evening there was a showing of “Jung in Africa,” home movie of Jung on safari assembled and discussed by Blake Burleson. Tracking and wilderness experiences were also presented by Ian McCallum. Ian also accepted the plaque of recognition of Honorary Membership for Ian Player who was unfortunately ill and could not attend to receive this recognition. The generosity of our hosts again came to the fore with the Hospitality evening, where out of town guest were invited into the homes of local members. On the final evening an African banquet in grand tents on a wine farm outside Cape Town provide a needed opportunity for dancing and revelry after the intense week of programs.

The plenary session were captured in digital recordings and are being made ready for listening on the IAAP website with the assistance of our webmaster, Don Williams. The Proceedings are being edited by Pramila Bennett and will probably be out in the later part of 2008. Copies of the Proceedings will be sent to all IAAP members who attended the Congress as well as to the Developing Groups and can be purchased through Daimon Verlag the publishers.

The composition of the scientific program was the work of the Program Committee. I would like to thank its members: Astrid Berg from South Africa (IAAP VicePresident, SAAJA), Gustav Bovensiepen from Germany (DGAP), Christian Gaillard from France (IAAP President, ex officio, SFPA), ToshIo Kawai from Japan (AJAJ), Tom Kelly from Canada (IAAP Honorary Secretary, IRSJA), Patrizia Michan from Mexico (Individual Member), Denise Ramos from Brazil (SbrPA), Joy Schaverien from the United Kingdom (SAP), Hester Solomon from the United Kingdom (IAAP Presidentelect, BAP), Marta Tibaldi from Italy (AIPA) and Beverley Zabriskie from the USA (JPA). Toni D’Anca served as the program coordinator; her help was invaluable. P a g e | 23

THE ONLINE IAAP NEWSLETTER 27

Once again the IAAP Newsletter will be posted online. For those members of the IAAP who prefer something less virtual, it is also available as a PDF file that can be easily downloaded. For the future a hard copy of the Newsletter which will give details of the activities of the administration and those of all the Group Member Societies and the Developing Groups will be available at the end of the present administration and we are hopeful that we will soon be able to appoint a new editor.

2007 was a rather special year for the IAAP as for the first time our international congress was held in Africa. The different reports reflect the importance of this occasion and its significance for the participants.

A special thanks must go to Astrid Berg without whose vision and hard work this congress could not have taken place.

The Newsletter has grown enormously over the years as the IAAP has expanded and become ever more complex and multicultural. What has remained constant is the vital function it plays in creating contacts and facilitating communication between our members. The Newsletter has however another function which is equally important as it provides a living record of our past, who we were and where we are coming from. For me personally, one of the most moving moments of the South African Congress was my visit to the District Six Museum of Cape Town as it brought home to me the importance of creating and preserving memories of the past for without the past the present and future are incomplete.

This edition of the Newsletter was collected, assembled and edited by the chair of the Publications and Communications SubCommittee, Angela Connolly and by Don Williams (consulting member), under the careful guidance of Joe Cambray. My thanks to Don Williams for without his devotion and patience, this Newsletter would never have seen the light. The reports from the Developing Groups were collected and edited by Jan Wiener (chair of the Developing Groups SC.) and by Joe Cambray. P a g e | 24

Finally a special thanks is due to all the society reporters for their hard work and for their remarkable communicative capacity.

As always, comments feedback and suggestions are welcome and can be addressed to Angela Connolly at: angdragosei@yahoo.com.

My warmest wishes to all our readers,

IAAP WEBSITE REPORT

The IAAP website and mailing list was very useful throughout the year in providing information about the 2007 Cape Town Congress program and about unique opportunities available in Cape Town and other areas of South Africa. For several months now “streaming audio” files of the Congress Plenary Sessions have been available online under the “Media” tab. Other conferences and events throughout the year were also served by the website, and now the 2007 IAAP Newsletter is online in the “Download” area…either as one PDF document or as several PDF files organized according to theme—committee reports, society reports, etc. Since the Newsletter is an internal document, you will need to login to the IAAP site with your unique username and password before you can visit the Download area and see the Newsletter files available.

As I am sure most of you know, the server which held our website “crashed” on October 11, 2007. This is the email I received :

I'm afraid the hardware node that your server is hosted on has failed.

I am in the process of provisioning you a new environment and will keep you up to date as this occurs.

I apologise for the inconvenience.

I both didn’t understand the message and was afraid to. My dealings with the webhost only got worse; in the weeks that followed I was never able to get an adequate explanations for any of the questions I had and was never responded to with a recognizable “human voice.” I had entered Kafka territory. P a g e | 25

I was under the impression that backups by webhosts were routine but I was wrong; I subsequently found out that webhosting companies do not recognize and are not bound by any standards of professional service. Some webhosts make backups for their customers, some do not; some educate their customers on available backup options, some do not (and ours didn’t). I now understand that we are living in an “Age of Due Diligence”— whether we are dealing with webhosting companies, hospitals, educational institutions, insurance companies, etc. Unfortunately, the “price of instruction” for “due diligence” is often very high as are the occasional costs of “continuing education.”

Fortunately, our database manager, Lucian Apostol, had recently backed up the entire database so he was able to rather quickly restore the IAAP Database/Directory for analysts as well as all of the features of the website that contained material in databases. Within perhaps 2 weeks we had an IAAP website online. However, half of the website depended on documents rather than a database (documents such as graphic files, html files, Word docs, PDF files, etc.) and these documents were lost with the website. Most of these documents reside on my computer and I am in the process of restoring them as soon as time allows. Eventually you will see old and new articles, some of the earlier photo galleries/archives, and the list of books, publishers, and current journals that we hosted prior to October 2007.

Lucian Apostol and I agreed immediately to move the IAAP website to another webhost and after considerable research, we agreed upon a webhost called “LunarPages” : http://www.lunarpages.com. We purchased their backup plan and Lucian is also making backups of the site; I will begin doing the same in the next month. I am very pleased with the features offered by LunarPages and from the beginning have been grateful by the readiness of the support staff to listen carefully, to speak openly and clearly, to share responsibility.

As you can see immediately from the website, the look and organization of the website were changed and new features have been added. I hope you will be pleased with the additions and changes being made. Please let me know if you have requests or suggestions related to the website and the mailing lists; my email address is : dwilliam@earthnet.net.

PRESIDENTIAL REPORT TO DELEGATES MEETING, CAPE TOWN

The IAAP today

Currently, our Association now counts 50 Constituent Societies. There were 48 when we came together for our last congress in Barcelona in 2004, that for the most part had the status of training Societies, and others without training status.

Since 2004 the Executive Committee has received and considered the applications of several groups wanting to become Constituent Societies of the IAAP. We will recommend the acceptance of two groups with the status of training Society : they are the Associacion Venezolana de Psicologia Analytica (AVPA) and the Korean Association of Jungian Analysts (KAJA).

We will also recommend the acceptance of the Russian Society of Analytical Psychology (RSAP) as Society with non training status.

In fact, each of these requests for recognition is the result of a long process. For example, in the case of the Russian Society, this request reflects the fact that progressively, and especially thanks to the outstanding work of our British colleagues in charge of our programmes in Russia, young Russian colleagues have be able over many years to be trained in Analytical Psychology and Jungian analysis. Then, progressively, they have become Individual Members of the IAAP, and now finally there are enough Individual Members for them to be able to propose to form a Society together.

This is a long, and sometimes difficult process, but it is extremely heartening. One of the very important tasks of the Executive Committee is to follow this process, accompany these groups, and draw the relevant lessons for the future of the IAAP. This task and the questions connected with it is particularly addressed by the Developing Groups subcommittee, the Individual Membership subcommittee, and the Society Applications subcommittee.

As far as the Individual Members of the IAAP are concerned, they currently number 38. The Executive Committee will recommend to recognise a further 38 new members, who have come to the end of their long path of training and successive examinations that we call the “route” to Individual Membership. There are currently 116 Routers, including the 38 who will receive their certificate of membership at this meeting.

Concerning the Developing Groups recognised by our Executive Committee, they have gone from 17 in 2004 to 19 today. The requests for recognition are numerous, serious and insistent, especially from Eastern Europe. But our means, be they human resources or financial means, are evidently limited. The Executive Committee has therefore recently decided for the meantime to consider only the requests for recognition already practically underway.

As my predecessor as President, Murray Stein, already emphasised in his report in Barcelona in 2004, the attentive monitoring of these Developing Groups, P a g e | 27

and of the procedures we use to examine the applications for the status of new Societies, have convinced the Executive Committee that in the future we will need to think more and more deeply and practically about questions of governance, and the training standards that many of us consider we will have to work out and progressively set up.

Some members of the Executive Committee will submit a proposal to our discussion on this matter.

In the same vein, that is to say drawing practical lessons from the experience we have acquired and preparing for the future, we have begun to think about the processes of mediation that it could be wise to put in place in the future. This is a very particular way of addressing and dealing with situations of tension and conflict. We have indeed acquired a certain amount of experience in this matter, but we will have to develop from here a whole frame of thought that is currently only in its early stages.

The Executive Committee, its subcommittees and working groups

You will no doubt have understood from listening to what I have said so far that over the last three years the work of the Executive Committee has been developed and differentiated into different subcommittees.

The Individual Membership subcommittee has been chaired by our Honorary Secretary, Tom Kelly. Joe Cambray, as coordinator for Asia, also participated in its work.

The Developing Groups subcommittee has been chaired by our PresidentElect, Hester Solomon, who has worked in close collaboration with the Officers, and has also made sure that a very large proportion of the members of the Executive Committee have been involved.

I proposed that the former Publications subcommittee become the Publications and Communications subcommittee, so its chair, Joe Cambray, has in fact become our Communications Officer, which, it has seemed to us, is now necessary to ensure the coordination and liveliness of our public relations. Angela Connolly, Pia Skogemann and Jan Wiener have collaborated, with Don Williams as consulting member.

These three subcommittees have become largely autonomous, even in financial terms, which is a new event, but they remain of course under the authority of the president, within the framework of the decisions and recommendations of the Executive Committee, in accordance with the positions you expressed yourselves at the Delegates Meeting.

The Society Applications subcommittee has been chaired by Ann Casement. Astrid Berg, Debbie Egger, and Marjorie Nathanson have taken part in its work.

The Academic subcommittee, which has integrated the functions of the Grants and research subcommittee as well as of the Translation and dissemination P a g e | 28

of Jung’s works of the previous administration, has been chaired by Astrid Berg. Ann Casement, Danila Crespi, Jörg Rasche and Jan Wiener have collaborated.

The Honorary Membership subcommittee has been chaired by Pia Skojeman. Angela Connolly and Marianne Müller have participated. This subcommittee will recommend a vote for the recognition of a new Honorary Member. The Executive Committee approves this recommendation.

The work of the Financial Development subcommittee has been essentially ensured by Jan Wiener, with the collaboration of a few colleagues from outside the Executive Committee, notably John Beebe.

These subcommittees were originally set up by my predecessors Luigi Zoja and Murray Stein. Some of them were partially redefined at the moment when the current administration in Barcelona took up its functions. I proposed that another working group be added to this setup, the Advisory Board for Institutional Issues and Congresses, which has collaborated closely with the local organisation Committee for this Congress in Cape Town. The Advisory Board will propose several institutional modifications over the course of this meeting.

This new working group has been composed of Tom Kelly, our Honorary Secretary, and my predecessor as president, Murray Stein. I would like to thank them personally for their work, their advice and their constant help.

For the control of our finances, I also proposed and we decided in the course of this administration to set up an internal audit. This audit was undertaken by Angela Connolly and Jörg Rasche. They had access to all our accounts, and were asked then for a report on the state of our finances and recommendations for the future. They will give you their observations later on, after our Treasurer’s report.

Finally, to take up and explore the questions of governance I evoked earlier, we created a Study Group for Governance and Professional Development. This Study Group was chaired by our President Elect, Hester Solomon. Marjorie Nathanson and Richard Willets, member of the Ethics Committee, have been very involved in this group, as well as a large number of members of the Executive Committee.

The Organisation Committee of this Congress and the Programme Committee

In parallel to these subcommittees and working groups, the Local Organising Committee for this congress has worked without rest and with a constantly renewed enthusiasm to ensure the best possible working conditions for us here in Cape Town. This committee has been chaired by Astrid Berg. Rod Anderson, Paul Ashton, Sheila Cowburn, John Gosling, Tony Kelly, Peter Hodson, Elisabeth Martiny, Gary May, Gill Mudie, and Ursula Ulmer have been involved in its work.

The Programme Committee has had the eternally weighty and delicate task of making choices between the very numerous and different propositions for presentations which were submitted for this congress, and to organise them into a coherent yet open whole, as far as possible. This committee has been chaired by Joe P a g e | 29

Cambray. Astrid Berg, Toshio Kawai, Hester Solomon, Gustav Bovensiepen, Denise Ramos, Beverley Zabriskie, Patricia Michan, Marta Tibaldi, Joy Schaverien, Tom Kelly, and myself, ex officio, have been involved.

Our two VicePresidents, Astrid Berg and Joe Cambray have thus closely and actively collaborated to ensure the success of this congress. May they be warmly thanked here for all their work.

The Ethics Committee

In conformity with our tradition, the Ethics Committee was constituted immediately after our last Delegates Assembly in Barcelona in 2004. It has been chaired by Luigi Zola. Henry Abramovitch, Viviane JullienPalletier, Gert Sauer, Ellen Sweeney, Liliana Wahba, Richard Willets, and Ursula Wirtz have participated in its debates.

This committee is particularly important for our institution because it assumes, on the one hand, the very delicate and necessarily rigorous task of being the internal judicial body of our Association, while on the other hand actively contributing to our general thinking on ethical questions in our profession, and especially in the training of future analysts.

As judicial body, this committee is of course totally independent from the Executive Committee. In its other tasks, it collaborates closely with the Executive Committee. These rules concerning the independence of judicial powers from executive powers have been constantly observed over the course of these three years, in particular thanks to the excellent relationship and sound distance that have been put in place by Luigi Zoja from Barcelona, for which I would like to thank him.

My thanks

In fact, my thanks, and yours, go to each of the colleagues I have already mentioned, and in particular to the members of the Executive Committee, which I have had the honour of chairing, and especially to my closest collaborators: our admirable and extraordinary polyvalent Honorary Secretary, Tom Kelly, without whom nothing would have been possible, our President Elect, Hester Solomon, with whom I have had many exchanges between Paris and London over these last three years, our two very active VicePresidents, Astrid Berg and Joe Cambray, and of course our two parttime secretaries whose dedication is without limits, Gloria Smith in Montreal and Yvonne Trueb in Zurich. I have the pleasure of informing you that our collaboration has been daily, active and harmonious.

We have also had the competent and constantly attentive collaboration of our Treasurer and Judicial Advisor, M. Martin Amsler, who is helping us even today P a g e | 30

for the running of this meeting, beside our Parliamentarian, Mrs Pamela Donleavy, member of NESJA.

And we have been lucky enough to work closely with our accountant in Zurich, M. Daniel Gubser.

Our finances

All of which brings me to speak briefly about the state of our finances, which we will come back to later in more detail.

Our finances are still relatively fragile, because they depend almost exclusively on the contributions of our member Societies. But having said this, as you will see, they remain healthy.

We have be able to maintain a reserve of capital amounting to more than 550 000 Swiss Francs, which is a reasonable sum considering our annual budget that is based on incoming revenue of about 580 000 Swiss Francs.

You will be able to compare the budget we are proposing today with those of previous years. This budget structurally resembles the incomes and expenses of previous years. Because our Association continues to increase prudently but regularly in numbers, and therefore is becoming ever more complex, we will propose, in conformity with the recommendations of the last Delegates Assembly, an increase in membership fees of 3% per year for the next three years, equal to an increase of about 8 CHF per year.

We must add here that our financial equilibrium could well change in the future, if we have to move from the very light administrative infrastructure we have today to more permanent administrative services, that is to say if the members of our Executive Committee, and especially the Officers, can no longer themselves account for the heavy load of daily work which they currently undertake.

Moreover, we will no doubt have to develop fund raising actions in the future, which we have started to do recently, but it has not been easy for we are clinicians – and for a small proportion of us academics – which does not really equip us for this type of activity.

Our publications

You know that you can find all sorts of other information on different aspects of our work in our Newsletter. The latest edition has just been published on our Web site, thanks to our webmaster Don Williams, who continually sends out all the information you might need. Like me, no doubt, you might prefer to have this Newsletter physically arrive on your desk. If our finances allow it, this will, I think, be the case for its next edition. P a g e | 31

You have also recently received our Member’s List. There is also an online version in the Analyst Database. I would like to remind you that it is the responsibility of each Society to put and keep this online version up to date.

As far as the Proceedings of our Congresses are concerned, those of Barcelona have been published by the Daimon Verlag, with a CDROM attached to allow the circulation of all the contributions to that congress. This formula, if you find it acceptable, could be used again for the Proceedings of this congress in Cape Town.

Pramila Bennett, who you no doubt know from her work with the Journal of Analytical Psychology, is the editor of this publication.

As I have already indicated, Joe Cambray as Communication Officer has coordinated these different publications with his subcommittee over the last three years, for which I would like to thank him.

Our external relations

Our external relations have consisted in a whole number of actions lead, for the most part, jointly with other institutions.

In September 2006 we organised a conference in Guangzhou in China. This conference was a success, and marked the beginning of a new and important step for our presence in China.

After the first conference in 2002, jointly organised with the International Association for Jungian Studies at the University of Essex, in England, thanks to Andrew Samuels and Renos Papadopoulos, another event of the same type was held in 2005 at the Texas A and M University, and another encounter is currently being organised which will take place in Zurich in July 2008. Our colleagues Angela Connolly, Murray Stein and Marianne Müller, along with Raya Jones and Kristine Connidis of the IAJS make up the Programme Committee for this next conference, with John Beebe and Susan Rowland as cochairs.

In April 2007 a conference was held in Lausanne, Switzerland, on the life and work of Sabina Spielrein, organised by the University of Lausanne, with the participation of the IAAP, whom I represented.

This coming November a Jung/Freud encounter sponsored jointly by the IPA and the IAAP will be held in London. Ann Casement represents us for the organisation of this event.

As you know, it was at the IPA Congress in New Orleans in 2003, under the impulse of Murray Stein and myself, that the first Freud/Jung conference was held at this institutional level since the rupture between Jung and Freud ninety years earlier. Since then, as you know, several encounters of this type have taken place successively at our Congress in Barcelona in 2004, at the IPA Congress in Rio in 2005, earlier this year, in 2007, less than two weeks ago, at the IPA Congress in Berlin, and finally here at our Congress in Cape Town. P a g e | 32

I hope that this new and fruitful work with our Freudian colleagues and cousins will be developed further, in all the areas where we can meet, be they for questions on the history of the psychoanalytic movement, clinical questions, theoretical debates or questions as to our interactions with other disciplines.

I also have the pleasure of announcing that the International Society for Sandplay Therapy has been recognised as an Allied Organisation of the IAAP, which will lead us to better coordinate our respective teaching and training programmes, especially concerning our Developing Groups, and which in the same spirit of coordination and exchange allows the members of this organisation to participate in our Congresses.

Finally, though our Academic subcommittee, we have funded several research projects among those that have been proposed to us by our members, or other institutions. This is notably the case in our implication, alongside the Philemon Foundation, in the research for the project of Jung’s ETH lectures, developed in Zurich by this same Foundation.

You can see that our dear IAAP is being prudently, but constantly renewed, both on the inside, and in its relationship with our clinical and research colleagues who through their own endeavours are close to us.

It is on this double favourable observation, that I must emphasise is the result of the implication and competence of your representatives, that I have the pleasure of concluding my President’s report.
