The Society of Analytical Psychology, known also as the SAP, incorporated in London, England, in 1945 is the oldest training organisation for Jungian analysts in the United Kingdom. Its first Honorary President in 1946 was Carl Jung.[1][2] The society was established to professionalise and develop Analytical psychology in the UK by providing training to candidates, offering psychotherapy to the public through the C.G. Jung Clinic and conducting research.[3] By the mid 1970s the society had established a child-focused service and training.[4][5] The SAP is a member society of the International Association for Analytical Psychology and is regulated by the British Psychoanalytic Council.

In 1955 the society founded and continues as owner of the Journal of Analytical Psychology.[6] Its first editor was Michael Fordham.[7]
