The C.G. Jung Institute offers a structured continuing education program that provides intensive analytic
training to qualified mental health professionals. The program leads to certification as a Jungian analyst.
The Analyst Training Program integrates theory and practice through seminars based on the Collected Works
of C.G. Jung, participation in case colloquia, and individual case supervision. Certification as an analyst is determined
by the Certifying Board after satisfactory completion of all requirements of the program. Certified Jungian
analysts who have completed this program are elected to membership in the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles,
at which time they become members of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) and are
awarded a Diploma in Analytical Psychology.
Continuing education units for candidates who are licensed as clinical psychologists, marriage and family therapists,
clinical social workers, and nurses are available for each course offering in the program.
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 supervisors and seminar instructors as well as 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. At any time during the process of training, the Review Committee or the Certifying Board may
decide to dismiss a candidate from the training program. That decision may be appealed by the candidate as described in the
Appeals Process below.
Clinical Supervision
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," i.e., an intensive supervision of an ongoing case. During the
first two stages of training, candidates will receive supervision one hour per week with a faculty analyst of their choice at no charge.
Candidates are expected to work with a different supervisor each year. For the first two years, candidates also participate in a
weekly case colloquium as part of the core curriculum. The final stage of training is the control stage which is no less than two
years with a minimum of 100 hours of control analysis. Candidates may be in control analysis with one or more control analyst,
however, at least 50 hours must be with one individual control analyst. Work with two or more control analysts may be
sequential or simultaneous.
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 2011, tuition is $3100 per year for candidates in the Preliminary and Candidacy
Stages, and $1950 per year for candidates in the Control Stage.
Payment by credit card may be arranged upon
payment of a handling fee for each transaction. Fees for personal analysis, control analysis, and certain other activities

TRAINING, FACULTY, AND CURICULUM MEETINGS
All analyst members of the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles are considered members of the Training, Faculty and Curriculum
Committee. The committee meets three or four times a year, though additional meetings may be scheduled. Representatives of the
Admissions Committee, the Review Committee and the Certifying Board are always encouraged to attend. Past Directors of
Training commit to attend for a minimum of one year beyond their tenure as Directors. The purpose of the meetings is to discuss
and coordinate any issues or activities related to Training. Policy changes related to training may also be made at this meeting.
The agenda is determined by the Director(s) of Training, and sent to the membership at least ten days prior to the meeting.
APPEALS PROCESS
When a candidate wishes to appeal a decision made by either the Certifying Board or the Review Committee, he or she begins
the process by writing a letter to the Board of Directors fully describing the complaint. An appeal of a training committee
decision must be made within six months of the date of that decision.
The Director of Training subsequently meets with the candidate for the purpose of clarifying, and possibly resolving, the complaint.
In addition, the Director of Training contacts the original committee to inform them that a complaint has been received, and that a report
describing the committee’s meeting with the candidate should be sent to the Board of Directors with a copy to the Training Director.
If the complaint is unresolved, and the appeals process is to proceed, the Board of Directors will convene a committee of five analysts who have been certified for more than five years and who have no dual relationships with the candidate. The candidate is informed as to the composition of the committee and may request that one or more analysts be recused. The request may or may not be granted by the Board. After the committee meets, it makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors. The decision of the Board of Directors is final.
