The International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) is the umbrella professional body for Jungian analysis worldwide. It was founded in 1955 by Jung and a group of analysts close to him and is headquartered in Zurich. The IAAP sets professional and training standards across approximately 58 member societies, groups, and affiliates worldwide, organises the triennial international congress (the field's principal academic gathering), and runs the Developing Groups and Router programs that bring training to regions where no full society exists.
