The German Society for Analytical Psychology ( DGAP ) is a specialist society of psychoanalysts in Germany who work on the basis of C. G. Jungs analytical psychology and its further developments. The purpose of the specialist society is to maintain, further develop and disseminate analytical psychology in research, teaching and care as well as to promote the application of analytical psychology in psychotherapy and psychosomatics. The DGAP acts on the one hand as a member of the German Society for Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Depth Psychology (DGPT) , the German professional association of all psychoanalysts, and on the other hand as a country group of the International Society for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) , which is the global specialist society for analytical psychology and from which the DGAP has the approval for the training of analytical psychotherapists in Germany.

The DGAP currently recognizes the training of analytical psychologists and psychotherapists at three institutes in Germany: CG Jung Institute Stuttgart, CG Jung Institute Berlin, CG Jung Institute Munich.

The seat of the company and its office are in Stuttgart.

history

In 1960 the German Society for Analytical Psychology was founded. The purpose was to create a professional society that emphasizes the peculiarity of analytical psychology in psychoanalysis and unites the practicing analysts. The global specialist society recognized the DGAP and gave it the status of the German country group. In Germany, the DGAP worked within the DGPT and together with representatives of the other schools of psychoanalysis on common psychoanalytic training standards at the clinics and endeavored to get psychotherapy and psychoanalysis recognized in university research and teaching and in general medical care.

organization

The DGAP has direct members who are each represented with one voice in the process of maintaining and developing analytical psychology. Every three years, the members elect an executive board, which represents the ideas and concerns of the members.

Ordinary members of the DGAP can only be fully trained analytical psychotherapists, who are automatically also members of the global specialist society (IAAP).

For trainee candidates, but also for doctors and licensed psychological psychotherapists or child and adolescent psychotherapists, whose professional interests and subject-specific work particularly focus on analytical psychology, there is an extraordinary membership. The prerequisite for admission is that their qualifications after being examined by the training / further training and examination committee are recognized as equivalent in analogy to the training and further training guidelines of the DGAP and that they have knowledge of analytical psychology in the form of self-experience, supervision and theoretical training can prove.

For people who are not licensed, but who can demonstrate a professional proximity to analytical psychology through self-experience, supervision and theoretical training and / or whose professional interest and subject-specific work particularly apply to analytical psychology, there is finally the possibility of affiliated membership .

activity

The DGAP organizes projects such as conferences and forums where there is a professional exchange and new developments in analytical psychology and from the related scientific areas are presented. In addition, the DGAP supports research and specialist publications in analytical psychology, in particular through the work of the International Network for Analytical Psychology at the Three-Country Level (INFAP3) and the journal Analytical Psychology. The DGAP cooperates with the training institutes on basic and advanced training and with the nine German CG Jung societies and the Jung Journal on public relations.

Almost since it was founded, the DGAP has been organizing an annual symposium at changing locations, at which DGAP members, guests from abroad and other specialist societies meet for professional exchange and where current research results as well as current discussions and developments in the field are presented.
