AIPA, or Associazione Italiana Psicologia Analitica, is Italy's pioneering association dedicated to analytical psychology, established in 1961 in Rome. Founded by Ernst Bernhard and his followers, AIPA emphasizes the teachings of Carl Gustav Jung and promotes the application of analytical psychology in therapeutic practices. Accredited by the Italian Ministry of Health, AIPA provides a comprehensive four-year specialization program for psychology and medical graduates to become trained Jungian psychoanalysts.

AIPA offers diverse services, including consultation spaces in major Italian cities like Rome, Milan, and Naples, where individuals can access therapy at regulated rates. Their events encompass public lectures, workshops, and thematic festivals that integrate psychoanalysis with art, emphasizing the importance of creative expression in therapy. Additionally, AIPA publishes "Studi Junghiani," a semi-annual journal fostering dialogue among various analytical perspectives. With a commitment to deepening the understanding of psychotherapeutic concepts, AIPA continuously explores innovative methodologies in clinical practice.
