Collaborative working with academics, writers, creatives and thought leaders is a cornerstone of success within AJA. It is an area where we aim to continue to contribute to strengthen the research ecosystem. We are keen to further develop Jungian and post-Jungian thinking into new areas as evidenced by our range of lively and varied monthly meeting talks and other events. AJA is a member of the BPC Scholars Network and has close networks with the Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies Department at the University of Essex and has links with the Pacifica Graduate Institute, California in the US.

AJA has several members and honorary members who are academics, writers and researchers who have made a significant contribution to the advancement of analytic thinking through their deep academic interests and expertise. Alongside this many AJA members actively contribute to growing the next generation of therapists by their creative use of analytic theory, innovative approaches, and ideas in their teaching, writing and supervision. Candidates on the JATQP course benefit from an inclusive approach to learning that blends the intersection of knowledge, new ideas and findings from recent academic work with a deep grounding in Jungian and post-Jungian theory and practice.

AJA has an ambition to support the development of a healthy, more inclusive, and sustainable research culture. To that end we intend to build capacity and welcome new honorary members with unique insights, who will link us with innovative approaches and cutting-edge thinking; encouraging cross-disciplinary practices and research; and foster collaborative work among scholars and clinicians to deepen understanding of the work.
