How Do NYAAP
Analysts Practice?
NYAAP members uphold the highest ethical standards in clinical practice, following the IAAP Code of Ethics that governs professional conduct, confidentiality, therapeutic boundaries, and clinical practice worldwide.
As members of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP), all NYAAP analysts adhere to rigorous ethical guidelines that protect both analysands and analysts. These standards ensure that Jungian analysis is practiced with integrity, professionalism, and deep respect for the therapeutic relationship. Our commitment to ethics is not merely compliance—it is fundamental to who we are as practitioners of depth psychology.


One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
