Programme of Preparation for Becoming an Analyst
The Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists offers a programme which
prepares carefully selected candidates to become Analytical Psychologists.
Those who successfully complete the programme become members of IGAP and of
the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP).
The programme aims to teach and facilitate study of the theory and practice
of the Psychology of C. G. Jung. Based on an intensive experience of
individual analysis, it emphasises the reality of archetypal and collective
contents and processes of the unconscious psyche as well as personal and
interpersonal dynamics. Special attention is given to Jung’s Collected
Works, and a range of related clinical and psychotherapeutic issues is covered
as well.
IGAP acknowledges that individuation means that each Jungian analyst will
develop personal values and styles of practice, within a strict code of
professional and ethical standards.
The IGAP programme of preparation is accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy
(UKCP) for the
purposes of registration.
Acceptance onto the Programme of Preparation is not a
guarantee of final qualification. At
any stage of its process IGAP reserves the right in its absolute discretion to
refuse any candidate permission to proceed to the next stage and to ask them
to leave the programme. This applies irrespective of whether or not the formal
requirements have been met.
IGAP only accepts one new intake of students a year, and the current
deadline for applications to be submitted to the IGAP office is November 1st
in any given year. Students accepted onto the programme will then commence
their training the following autumn.
