And

Preliminary Announcement of
A Joint Conference of

THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR JUNGIAN STUDIES

And the

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY

Texas A & M University, July 2005

AN INVITATION TO JOIN THE NEWLY CREATED INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR JUNGIAN STUDIES

A Forum for Jungian and Post-Jungian Research

Following the highly successful first academic conference of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (organized at the University of Essex in partnership with the Center for Psychoanalytic Studies), a decision was taken to set up the International Association for Jungian Studies. The idea had been in currency for many years but it took the face-to-face meetings between academics from many disciplines with an interest in Jungian and post-Jungian Studies to bring the conception to life.

ABOUT THE IAJS

The IAJS exists to promote and develop Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies and scholarship on an international basis. Its areas of interest include (but are not restricted to) analytical psychology in a multi-disciplinary context. For example the Association will promote scholarship relating analytical psychology to the arts and humanities, social sciences and philosophy as well as clinical, methodological and theoretical research. The application of the concepts of Jungian and post-Jungian analytical psychology to literature, theatre, film and media studies, religious studies, in addition to applications in the disciplines of medicine, physics, and the philosophy and history of science are welcome. The IAJS additionally aims to promote practice-based research in education, culture, therapy and the arts, and hopes to include practicing artists as members. The IAJS will therefore be a multi-disciplinary association dedicated to the exploration and exchange of views about all aspects of the broader cultural legacy of Jung's work, including the history of analytical psychology itself. Through the development of Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies, the IAJS aims to aid the understanding of contemporary cultural trends and the history of psychological and cultural tendencies.

The IAJS will organize conferences, facilitate academic exchange, maintain a website and keep in contact with existing professional organizations of Jungian analysts and psychotherapists worldwide. It is committed to the ideals of academic freedom and equal opportunities and is not partisan in respect of debates and disputes amongst professional analysts and psychotherapists. The IAJS is committed to pursuing opportunities for scholarly publishing as an important method of disseminating academic research.

MEMBERSHIP

Membership of IAJS is open to those from any discipline, artistic or cultural practice with an interest in Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies at a scholarly level including analysts and psychotherapists. Masters and doctoral students and candidates undertaking clinical trainings pay dues at a reduced rate. All members shall have equal voting rights.

Dues: These have been kept as low as possible and there are two fee bands. For members from the United States and Canada, W.Europe, Japan and Australia the annual fee is $42.00. Those from the rest of the world will pay $21.00. Students and candidates in training will pay half the appropriate rate.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

Following the IAAP Academic Conference, a group of about 30 academics and analysts held preliminary discussions that led to the formation of a steering group. The main tasks of this steering group, which continues to report to the larger group, are to establish the initial membership of the Association prior to elections and make arrangements for the website and electronic communication. The Steering Group consists of the following members:

Susan Rowland (Convenor)
Terence Dawson
Don Fredericksen
Leslie Gardner
Ien Hazebroek-Buijs
Luke Hockley
J. Craig Peery
Andrew Samuels
David Tacey

Following elections, there shall be an Executive Committee of between 7-9 members who shall elect from their number a Chair, Honorary Secretary and Treasurer. This committee will be elected on the basis of self-nomination by the initial membership on a provisional basis pending the writing of a detailed Constitution. Terms of office and similar matters shall be proposed by the Executive Committee to the membership for approval at a later date. It will be important to stagger retirements from the initial executive Committee so as to preserve continuity. One or more members of the committee shall have special responsibility for the website and electronic communications. One or more members of the committee shall have special responsibility for relations with the International Association for Analytical Psychology.

In the event that no person belonging to the International Association for Analytical Psychology be elected, the Executive Committee must co-opt such a person into membership.

The Executive Committee can, at its discretion and for specified periods of time co-opt no more than three members (including the IAAP member if required). Co-opted members have the same rights and responsibilities as other committee members (i.e., they can vote).
