Land acknowledgement

A declaration from the OAJA Board of Directors

A declaration from the OAJA Board of Directors

We respectfully acknowledge our home on the sacred and Traditional Territories of the Anishinabek, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations, Haudenosaunee, and Huron-Wendat.

We acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit and the Williams Treaties signed with Peoples of the Mississaugas and Chippewa Nations.

We support the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action

and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

We recognize the enduring presence of Indigenous Peoples and that Toronto/Tkaronto continues to be home to many Indigenous Nations.

We are grateful for the opportunity to work, learn, and dream on these sacred lands and we thank the past, present, and future caretakers of this land for their stewardship.

Going forward, we will continue reflecting upon our actions and devising new ways to foster communities of sharing. We commit to practices that engage all who inhabit these territories and we will pursue new ways of supporting these initiatives.

The Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts recognizes how collective shadow and cultural complexes can create negative projections onto vulnerable populations, visible minorities, and Indigenous communities and is dedicated to raising awareness about these dynamics as part of its mandate. We aspire to raise consciousness about inequities and biases in interactions that demean the dignity and worth of others through training and education and as a matter of organizational policy. As a Canadian organization, we also support the Canadian Truth & Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action which acknowledges Canada’s history of systematic oppression of its indigenous population requiring ongoing recognition and remediation.

Ethics Code

OAJA Ethics Code 2024 excerpts


The concept that guides and drives the distinctive professional practice of Jungian analysis is the relationship between conscious and unconscious that is informed by the underlying archetypal ‘blueprint,’ the collective unconscious. The value of that principle is its therapeutic intention towards the process of individuation.

The Jungian culture and its resultant ethos reflect that distinctive relationship held in Jung’s referent: the temenos as a sacred space.

The ethos–spirit, character – underpinning Jungian practice extends beyond professional boundary-keeping and the usual tenets of ethical, professional behaviour. The value of the temenos is not confined to Analyst-Analysand relationship but is inherent in the symbolic

thinking that attaches to all areas of OAJA Jungian practice whether it be Analyst to Analysand, Analyst to Analyst, Analyst to training Candidate, Analyst Selection Committee member to Candidate on admission or after admission into training, group supervision leader to group supervision Candidates. It informs the principles of transference/countertransference matters

OAJA Ethics Code

The full OAJA Ethics Code is available for analyst members and training candidates after logging in

related to all the above stated individual relationships as well as to group sessions within the training forum (group supervision, seminars).

1. Analysts and Candidates shall conduct themselves according to the highest ethical standards and shall hold the interest of their Analysand to be paramount. This responsibility is central to being a Jungian Analyst.

2. This Code applies to all Analyst members of OAJA, to Selection Committees, to all Candidates of the OAJA training program (ATP), and to ATP Faculty.

3. This Code pertains to the work of Candidates with those Analysands who are registered with OAJA.

4. A reminder that besides OAJA’s Code of Ethics and Practice, Analysts are under the jurisdiction of other codes of ethics. For example, the IAAP, CRPO, and other Colleges.

Sexual violence

OAJA Analyst Training Program Sexual Violence Policy

OAJA is committed to preventing sexual violence against its candidates and provides disciplinary processes regarding this if it involves an OAJA analyst or a fellow candidate. This policy and its procedures are created to protect candidates from sexual violence within OAJA and to support them if they experience it and choose to report it and/or make a complaint. The procedures are also implemented to ensure that the alleged perpetrator faces appropriate and just sanctions under the aegis of OAJA.

Note: Nothing in this policy is intended to prevent anyone from reporting this incident to the police for investigative purposes and possible criminal sanctions.

1. Definition

‘Sexual Violence’ can include physical assault and/or forcible confinement for sexual purposes as well as attempted sexual violence. It also includes non-consenting sexual relations brought about by an imbalance of power in the relationship resulting in threats meant to bring about sexual relations. Specifically, it can include sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, indecent exposure, voyeurism and sexual exploitation.

Section 1.16.5 of Bylaw 4 (Discipline) also provides a detailed definition of sexual abuse or sexual misconduct amounting to Professional Misconduct.

2. Support and Services for the Candidate

For any candidate reporting an incident or making a complaint about being affected by sexual violence in the training programme the initial step is to contact the DoT (Director of Training) who will assist the candidate along whatever path they wish to take and treat the report with strict confidentiality. OAJA will provide support and/or services at no expense to the complainant including:

  1. Helping the candidate to connect with a doctor or emergency service should they need medical treatment;
  2. Seeing an OAJA analyst of their choice regarding the traumatic emotional impact of the incident, fees to be paid by OAJA
  3. Arranging for the candidate to make any changes to their training programme in order to accommodate their needs and in particular to avoid the alleged perpetrator and to protect them from retaliation from analysts and candidates alike.
  4. Accompanying the candidate to, or making contact with, any outside resources of which the complainant feels in need. In particular, the DoT can arrange contact with the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic which is specifically set up to serve victims of sexual violence including emotional and legal support.

Note: The candidate is not required to pursue a formal complaint in order to avail themselves of the support services offered under this section.

3. Investigative Procedures if a Report/Complaint of Sexual Violence is Made

  1. A candidate who wishes to report an incident of, or make a complaint regarding sexual violence or sexual inappropriateness of any kind within OAJA, can submit the report or complaint to the Chair of the Board of Directors pursuant to OAJA By-Law #4 (Discipline).
  2. This complaint shall be made in writing and any such report or complaint shall be treated by the Board with complete confidentiality until such time as steps must be taken to involve the alleged perpetrator. If the Board finds possible professional misconduct, they shall refer the matter to the Chair of the Ethics/Discipline Committee to which By-Law #4 procedures apply.
  3. By-Law #4 investigative procedures, shall in the circumstances of sexual abuse/violence, apply to candidates as well as Members (analysts). The role of the Board of Directors is outlined in ss. 1.1 and 1.2 of By-Law 4.

Note: Should the complainant wish, they may have an analyst or fellow candidate accompany them during any stage of the process including making oral submissions on their behalf.
