The C.G. Jung Institute offers intensive analytic training to qualified mental health professionals. 
The Training Program integrates theory and practice through seminars based on the Collected Works of C. G. Jung, through participation in case colloquia and individual supervision. Certification as an analyst is determined by the Certifying Board.
Certified Jungian analysts are eligible for membership in the C. G. Jung Society of Los Angeles that is affiliated with the International Association for Analytical Psychology.
ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM
Personal Analysis
Jung placed great value on the development of consciousness in relationship to self and to
society. To further this process, personal analysis is fundamental and required throughout
the training process as are training seminars conducted in small groups. It is recommended
that, for a significant period, analysis will take place two or more times a week. Candidates are
expected to be in analysis with an analyst from the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles throughout
their training experience. The personal analysis is confidential at all times. No information
regarding any candidate, may be solicited from the personal analyst by any member of the faculty.
Curriculum
Candidates are required to complete a series of seminars based upon selected volumes of the Collected Works of C.G. Jung. Elective seminars are also offered to all candidates. All candidates are expected to attend a minimum number of elective seminars each year. Special weekend seminars and workshops are scheduled through the year.

The Training Stages
Training in Jungian psychology is personal and individual. Open, mutual discussion
is encouraged between the candidates and faculty in hopes of fostering personal and professional
growth. The training program is organized in a series of stages: Preliminary, Candidacy and
Control. Progression from one stage to the next is determined by an individual evaluation that includes
evaluations from seminar instructors and annual personal interviews with the Review Committee or
the Certifying Board. An Annual Theoretical Examination is administered each spring during the
first three years of training (provisions will be made for those with learning disabilities.) Progression
in the program does not necessarily imply eventual certification. The process of evaluation is continuous
up to and including certification as a Jungian analyst by the Certifying Board, which occurs after the
satisfactory completion of all requirements.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical Supervision is an essential component of analytic training. Candidates must be in
clinical supervision weekly throughout training. Candidates in the final stage of training
engage in "control analysis," an intensive supervision of an ongoing case. During the first two
stages of training, candidates will receive case consultation one hour per week with a faculty analyst
of their choice at no charge. For the first two years, candidates also participate in a weekly case
colloquium as part of the core curriculum. During the final stage of training (“control analysis”), candidates
are required to be in weekly supervision with an analyst from the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles.
Clinic Participation
Throughout the training program, each candidate participates in either
the Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic and/or the Hilde Kirsch Children’s Center. Candidates in the first
two stages of training candidates are required to contribute three client hours per week and
in the final stage of training, candidates are required to contribute two client hours per week.
Schedule
Seminars, case colloquia, and workshops will be held, as noted in the Schedule of Classes, either
at the C.G. Jung Institute or in analysts’ homes or offices. Required courses for
Preliminary and Candidacy Stage candidates are scheduled on Thursdays (afternoon and evening). Elective
courses are scheduled on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Workshops are generally scheduled on
weekends. From time to time, the core curriculum is taught in a different sequence, although all
trainees are expected to complete all seminars and colloquia requirements.
COST OF TRAINING
As of Fall 2009, tuition is $3000 per year for candidates in the Preliminary and Candidacy Stages, and
$1885 per year for candidates in the Control Stage.
Fees for personal analysis, control analysis, and certain other activities are
additional and are established on an individual basis. One hour per week of supervision for candidates
in the Preliminary and Candidacy Stages is provided with no charge. Payment by credit card may be
