Welcome to our Portal!

Our Academy is proud to be recognized as the Fourth School of Analytical Psychology. It is well known that Andrew Samuels, in his seminal work ‘Jung and the Post-Jungians,’ outlined the three primary schools of Jungian thought: the Classical School of Zurich, the English Developmental School, and the Archetypal School of James Hillman. While these schools have made significant contributions to the evolution of Jungian ideas, they no longer fully encompass Jung’s vision, particularly in scientifically demonstrating the concept of the archetype.

The Braga School, also known as The Code School of Analytical Psychology, emerges as the culmination of the Classical School, elevating and integrating the other schools in a non-exclusive way. We are the home of this Fourth School of Analytical Psychology, advancing the field towards a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of Jung’s ideas.

Our public presentation as the fourth school took place on June 14, 2024, at the Tenth International Conference in Code Biology, held in La Spezia, Italy, at the Accademia di Scienze e Lettere Giovanni Capellini:

Note that the ninth edition of this scientific event was sponsored by the International Academy of Analytical Psychology www.iaap.pt and the Center for Computer Graphics www.ccg.pt of the University of Minho in Portugal www.iccb2023.iaap.pt

The recognition of archetypes as biological codes were integrated into the book "Codes and Evolution: The Origin of Absolute Novelties," by the embryologist Marcello Barbieri (2024), page 54, published by Springer: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-58484-8

The International Academy of Analytical Psychology - www.iaap.pt - founded in 2013, is divided into three codependent projects: a school of analytical psychology and personal development: www.academiajung.com; a multimedia project - JungLab™ - for dissemination of Jungian content: www.youtube.com/c/junglab; and, since 2022, a clinical project: the Jungian Clinical Institute: www.icj.pt
