Psychoanalysts
Marcel Gaumond, Ph. D.
Biography
A psychoanalyst who graduated from the Jung Institute in Zurich (1977), Marcel Gaumond practiced privately in Quebec City between 1977 and 2025. He co-founded the Association des psychanalystes jungiens du Qubec (APJQ, 1988), an association of which he was president from 1989 to 1999. he is also co-founder of the Pan-Canadian Society for Analytical Psychology (SPCPA, 2023), which was officially accredited by the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAPP) at its congress in Zurich (August 24-29, 2025) as a society authorized to offer training in analytical psychology throughout Canada. Before studying analytical psychology and completing a doctorate in psychopedagogy at the Faculty of Education at Laval University, he worked for fifteen years in the field of education (Collège de Sainte-Foy) as a teacher, socio-cultural facilitator, and head of a psychological support service.
Since acquiring additional training in San Francisco in a neo-Freudian approach (1983-84), Marcel Gaumond has been interested in everything related to the basic rules of the psychotherapeutic process. His current work focuses on what might reconcile the Freudian and Jungian paradigms.
For twenty-five years (1995-2020), he supervised "Les rencontres du Cin-Psy" (Cin-Psy Encounters), which followed on from his column that appeared five times a year in the cinema magazine Le Clap (Quebec City) and in the Beaubien and Parc cinema magazines (Montreal).
He is co-editor-in-chief of the Revue de Psychologie Analytique (2017-2025) and subsequently initiated the Revue quadrilingue de psychologie analytique in collaboration with colleagues from South America, North America, and French-speaking regions of Europe.
