The NAAP builds upon the foundations of the work of C.G. Jung. The practice of Analytical Psychology continuously asks questions aimed to link the individual experience to the greater context. The greater context of relationships may it be intra-psychic, inter-personal, or generational.

To this end we apply Analytical Psychological models that include complexes, archetypes, and symbols that support an ongoing individuation process (see IAAP). With individuation we understand the individual’s process of achieving a greater degree of consciousness regarding the totality of his or her psychological, interpersonal and cultural experiences.
