Andrew Samuels

I have a private practice in Jungian Analysis in Tufnell Park, North London. I only do one-to-one work and this has to be face-to-face. I also do supervision and this can be on the phone. Contact: andrew@andrewsamuels.net

I am Professor of Analytical Psychology at the University of Essex, Visiting Adjunct Clinical Professor of Psychoanalysis at New York University, Visiting Professor of Psychoanalytic Studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London, and Honorary Professor of Psychology and Therapeutic Studies at Roehampton University.

I am a Training Analyst of the Society of Analytical Psychology and was elected as part of the first group of six Honorary Fellows of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. I am registered with the UKCP and also with the British Psychoanalytic Council. I am at present the elected Chair of the UKCP.

I am a Founder Board Member of the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. Holder in 2003 of the Hans W. Loewald Award of the International Federation for Psychoanalytic Education. Former Honorary Secretary of the International Association for Analytical Psychology. Former Scientific Associate, American Academy of Psychoanalysis. Former Member, Registration Board, United Kingdom Standing Conference on Psychotherapy.

Co-founder of Psychotherapists and Counsellors for Social Responsibility and Consultant Editor of Psychotherapy and Politics International. I work internationally as a political and organisational consultant.

Publications include: Jung and the Post-Jungians (1985), The Father (1986), Critical Dictionary of Jungian Analysis (1986), The Plural Psyche: Personality, Morality and the Father (1989), Psychopathology (1989), The Political Psyche (1993), and the award-winning Politics on the Couch: Citizenship and the Internal Life (2001).

In view of the possible state regulation of psychotherapists and counsellors by the Health Professions Council, I wish to issue the following statement:

"I am a Jungian Analyst and also use the titles of Analytical Psychologist or Jungian Psychoanalyst or Analyst (Jungian). I have been registered under one or more of these titles on the registers of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and the British Psychoanalytic Council since those registers were first published many years ago. The way in which 'psychotherapy' is likely to be defined by the HPC will not in fact describe what I offer my clients.

"I do not believe in working without accountability. All Jungian Analysts adhere to a Code of Ethics and Discipline. The code under which I work can be obtained from the Society of Analytical Psychology, 1 Daleham Gardens, London NW3 5BY. This code gives the Society, via its membership of the British Psychoanalytic Council, the power to expel me and make it known in public if I am found guilty of serious professional misconduct. In due course, I expect to place myself under the Central Complaints Process of the UKCP.

"I also actively engage in Continuing Professional Development to a far greater extent than that demanded of me by the various professional organisations to which I belong."
