Meet the EXCO John A. Desteian

I have been on the AGAP Ex-Co since the Barcelona Congress in 2004, and have attended all the ExCo meetings in Zurich since then.

My initial motivation for running for the position had to do with loyalty to colleagues who helped to train me those many years ago when I trained at the Jung Institute-Zurich (I graduated in 1983). I wanted to contribute to the extent I could to a resolution of the difficult situation between the institute and AGAP members in Switzerland, and AGAP as a whole. I also wanted to add an international voice to the deliberations of the ExCo, which for so many years was Zurich centered.

I have developed strong collegial friendships with the other members of the ExCo and had an opportunity to deepen my relationships with many analysts training at ISAP. One of the roles I take is as ExCo liaison to the Ethics Committee, and I have assisted the committee whenever needed in developing a set of guidelines and procedures which are comprehensive, professional, fair, compassionate and psychologically sound.

I am married to Judith Savage who is also an analyst with membership in the Inter-Regional Society, and have one adult son.

EAP Membership For AGAP?

Dariane Pictet

The Exco has looked into and is interested in AGAP joining the European Association for Psychotherapy: www.europsyche.org. The EAP promotes high training standards for psychotherapy across Europe. It represents 128 organizations from 41 European countries and a-wards the European Certificate for Psychotherapy (ECP), which is increasingly recognized as setting up a standard for psychotherapy in Europe.

This certificate will give European members, who have difficulty getting the Zurich Training accredited in their own countries, some legitimacy. European AGAP-members will be protected by the EAP for professional and political problems linked to their activities in the country where they live and work. The EAP is also working at becoming part of the United Nations through the World Council for Psychotherapy (WCP) and thus the benefits would eventually apply to members world-wide. The individual membership dues (€2.5) would be collected along with the AGAP dues of European members only—should we decide to join as a group.

We want to hear from you on this. Please send your input to dariane.pictet@agap.info.

Treasurer’s report

Stefan Boëthius, Treasurer

In 2007 AGAP closed with a surplus of CHF 2,582.93. The total of income added up to CHF 32,047.75 (budget CHF 32,500.00) and the total expenses amounted to CHF 29,464.82 (Budget CHF 29,000.00). Larger deviations to the budget were, on the income side, the membership dues (-CHF 5,575.4); and on the expense side, office and administration (+CHF 3,942.95), as well as communication (+CHF 1,868.15). From the budgeted reserves of CHF 8,500.00 only CHF 2,500.00 were used. By December 31st, 2007 the equity amounted to CHF 20,091.02.

Due to the increase of the membership dues an increase of income of about CHF 20,000 is expected in 2008. This additional income will be used to cover a part of the travel expenses of the executive officers living abroad. It will also help to cover expenses where too little had been budgeted, such as the costs for salaries office, Internet and communication.

Thank You!

We understand that dues payment has become an increasingly complex affair, especially considering the new categories and rates approved at Cape Town. At this opportunity we thank all AGAP members for bearing with the transition, and for the efforts spent to make timely payments. ExCo

News from ISApZURICH

Officers Committee

The Year at a Glance Well into our 4^th year of training, we continue to be encouraged by ISAP’s sustaining vitality and growth—and grateful for the support that makes this possible:

In 2007 donations from colleagues and friends amounted to CHF 41,104. • AGAP members from abroad continue to join us as guest lecturers, while several are formally committed as ISAP Participants. • To date a total of 82 students are enrolled, with 66 in the diploma program, 13 in continuing education, and 3 in the training cooperative with Japan. • Helga Kopecky continues to catalogue the 2600 titles that constitute ISAP’s fledgling library. • In June, Murray Stein, John Hill, Paul Brutsche, Anne Lammers, and Heike Weiss presented a dramatic reading of excerpts of the recently published Jung–White Letters to a large and appreciative audience at the Helferei. • In July the Jungian Odyssey 2007 went forward with some 90 participants on the whole, representing 14 countries.

In the last week of May many of us will depart for Beatenberg, the venue of the Jungian Odyssey 2008, where we will explore the theme, Intimacy: Venturing the Uncertainties of the Heart. Please bear in mind that your analysands are welcome to attend this annual event!

Governance At our Annual Assembly in February 2008 resounding tribute was paid to the resigning members of ISAP’s Officers Committee, Paul Brutsche, President—and Katharina Casanova, Director of Studies. Elections at that event resulted in the 1^st major renewal of ISAP’s leadership: We look forward to working with Co-Presidents Murray Stein and Ursula Ulmer—and with Christa Robinson as Director of Studies.

International Part-Resident Training All interested AGAP members are urged to contact us about the possibility of participating as supervisors in ISAP’s International Part-Resident training (IPR). Launched as a pilot-project, the IPR is an off-shoot of the original, international full-resident training (now IFR). IPR students may return to their home countries to fulfill certain requirements for the 2^nd half of training—provided that, prior to going home, they complete at least 4 full semesters on campus, pass all the propaedeutical exams, and return to Zurich for a minimum of 4 weeks of training each semester until graduation. The IPR was created in an attempt to provide a consistent frame for containing the heretofore ad hoc exceptions to the standard training regulations. This project will be carefully reviewed as it is exceedingly important that we uphold high standards in line with the rich tradition of training in Zurich.

Training Candidate Cooperative ISAP is now offering to other IAAP Training Societies a cooperative model of propaedeutical level training. This is exclusively for candidates who have been accepted by IAAP training societies that wish to take advantage of full-time theoretical instruction offered by a large and diverse international faculty. Upon successful completion of the propaedeutical exams candidates return to their home societies to continue with the 2^nd half of training and earn their diplomas. We welcome all enquiries on this program, which has proven already successful in collaboration with Japan.

Finances ISAP continues to run as a self-sustaining business—that is, according to the budget and at no expense to AGAP at large.

This has been accomplished despite the expansion of our premises and employed staff, required by growing enrollment—and also thanks to the generous donations in 2007.

The picture would be incomplete without mention of a surplus brought in by the Jungian Odyssey 2007, and the 90 analysts who pay annual participation fees of CHF 600.00–1000.00 while also running the school and conducting training for symbolic remuneration only.

Meet the EXCO Stacy Wirth

In 1980 I moved from Washington DC to Zurich, finding fertile ground to pursue my goals as dancer and choreograph-er. But the real mo-tive for this trans-plant was to take up life with Markus, who was to become my husband. We have two daughters, the older engaged as an actress in Switzerland, and the younger studying dance and biology in the US.

When I graduated from the Zurich Institute in 2003, society life within the Jungian world was, in my mind, less than a vaguely formed idea—apart from the invitations to join AGAP and SGAP, which seemed to point to some kind of professional belong-ing. Forthwith I paid up to join both. Little did I fore-see becoming so actively involved, so soon. Like John Desteian, I joined the AGAP ExCo in 2004, motivated to serve by feelings of loyalty to the body of analysts who had made of my training such a fine one. In short order I began to work also as ISAP’s vice president.

In service to the two, I have faced many challenges in the aim of balancing the interests of AGAP mem-bers worldwide. From the handling of differences in values, to the range of adminstrative and technical jobs, to the caring for soul in the crush of laws and regulations, the learning curve has been great. I am most grateful for the collegial relationships and friendships that have ensued—and hope that these signal the possiblity for bridge-building within our Jungian community.

Think Tank 2007

John Hill

Beginning in 2004 as an informal gathering of analysts from AGAP, SGAP, CGJI, ISAPZURICH, the Psychological Club and Marie Louise von Franz Zentrum — the Think Tank continued to be active in 2007. Meetings were held five times during the year at the Kulturhaus Helferei, with an average of 20 colleagues attending. The Think Tank’s overall focus continues to be the significance of ‘Zürich’ for Jungian psychology today. From the start, the format has remained more or less the same: 30 minutes for dreams and fantasies, followed by the main presentation and ending with discussion.

The first meeting of 2007 opened with an excellent presentation on psychodrama and trauma by Marco Della Chiesa. Afterwards he staged a sociodrama of the six Jungian organizations in Zürich. Colleagues present had to join one of these institutes and a playful drama began with dialogue and movement between the different institutes.

The April meeting began with a lively discussion on dreams, bringing to attention a tension between a romantic and city attitude to psychology, as well as a vertical and horizontal axis evident in contemporary Jungian thought. There followed an informative presentation by Murray Stein on the important conference sponsored jointly by the IAAP and IAJS to be held at the ETH in Zürich, July 2008. Zürich could contribute a lot to this conference, not only the local Jungian groups and universities but also organizations such as PsychoCity and Collegium Helveticum and individuals such as Professor Nesper on Pauli, Fritz Senn on Joyce or Bejart who has created a ballet on Jung. The June meeting opened with the theme: “New wine needs new wine skins”. A dream of the Zürichsee being full of dead stagnant water provoked discussion on the new life witnessed in the recent, very successful theatrical presentation of the Jung-White letters, the Jungian Odyssey, the increasing revival of a community consciousness and the creation of new bridges to business schools and leadership training programs. Regina Schweizer made a thought-provoking presentation on: “Do we still use the same language”. Applying the alchemical image of the “chain connection” between spirit and matter, she alerted us to the dangers of the chain becoming too long, as when personal experience is missing, connection with transcendence is lost, or Jungian concepts become dogma. In order to find common understanding, we must create a common atmosphere.

The September meeting started with approving comments on the open communication between the presidents of the Jung Institute and AGAP at the IAAP congress in Cape Town. Zürich, as the Alma Mater for many, has still a powerful presence at the congress, and yet there is distress about Zürich, about “the parents being torn apart”.

Allan Guggenbühl in his witty and challenging way talked about on the role of evil in analytical psychology. People usually avoid their darker sides, by presenting a positive image of themselves in order to remain sane and successful. The analyst should concentrate more on the “unpleasant”, consider an antagonist, confrontative approach and not simply support self-images that empower delusions. John Hill, the respondent, proposed that we should maintain a distance from the collective shadow, but be as connected as possible with the personal shadow. Evil can be numinous; it can unhinge us. A lively discussion followed on themes as: distinguishing psyche’s dark side from evil, intentional evil, evil created from ‘good intentions’, evil as a sense of coldness, metaphysical evil. It ended with the well-known statement: “Know your limits”.

The final meeting of the year started with an intense discussion on those fantasies, doubts and anxieties about ‘Zurich’ coming mostly from the United States. They pertain to what is happening to the C.G. Jung institute and ‘that new group’, especially in light of the recent conflict. The split in Zurich does not determine us these days as in the past. We have a tendency to ignore the split and now try to do something within the context of where we are working. There is a time lag between what is happening here in Zurich and how that is seen from the outside. Exchanges on individual and personal levels will help change the projections, as will the world of the web. Andreas Schweizer, as the President of the Psychological Club, then made a very fine presentation on the Club. Membership eligibility requires that one takes dreams seriously, one has done analysis and has two sponsors. The club has no dogmas; it is a community that allows discussion on important points without any pressure from the outside. It is not just for analysts, but also for lay people. It welcomes the unknown stranger as once did Philemon and Bau-cis welcome the gods, disguised as beggars. Jung claimed that his starting of the club was to balance the isolation of analysis. In the discussion, people wanted to know more about club membership, suggesting that it hold an open house, and support better ways of making itself known. Andreas Schweizer, im-pressed by the Think Tank’s openness and quality of Eros, ended the discussion, thanking those present for inviting him.

The organizing committee, Debbie Egger, Murray Stein and John Hill, look forward to another year of challenging, provocative and inspiring Think Tank discussion.
