TRAINING PROGRAM
IN JUNGIAN ANALYSIS

               Training FAQ            Training Brochure          
     Listing of Candidates

 

The C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco offers to licensed psychotherapists a training program in preparation for certification as a Jungian analyst. The program is directed toward the development of mature, psychologically conscious individuals who will become thoroughly familiar with Jungian concepts and be able to use them in their own style in the practice of analysis.

In the program, personal analysis is considered basic to the training and provides the means for the individual to find his/her identity as a person and an analyst by establishing meaningful connection with his/her psychic contents.

A working knowledge of the conceptual framework is developed through seminars, continuous case conferences, and recommended reading.  In control analysis the candidate learns to apply in an individual way the experience of training to his/her psychotherapeutic practice.

The program begins with four years of seminars, but completion of training for certification typically takes substantially longer.

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ANALYTIC TRAINING

Is the program open to any interested person?

Ours is a post-license program. It presupposes a thorough knowledge of and substantial experience in the general field of psychotherapy. We only consider applicants who have a license from the State of California to practice psychotherapy and who are already experienced psychotherapists: psychiatrists who have completed a psychiatric residency (through PGY IV), licensed psychologists (PhD/PsyD), marriage and family therapists (MFT), clinical social workers (LCSW), and registered nurses who are certified nurse specialists with a master’s degree in mental health nursing (CNS). In addition, applicants must have at least 200 hours of personal therapy with a certified Jungian analyst who is a member of the IAAP.

How long does the San Francisco training program last?

The training program is of indeterminate length. The weekly seminars are four years long, but after that, there is no predictable ending date to the process. Our training is based on the model of individual development rather than the scholastic model of achievement.

Can you do the program by some form of distance learning?

Since the program presupposes weekly candidate seminar meetings over four years, ongoing analysis and personal relationships within the analytic community, we only consider applicants who are residents of the San Francisco Bay Area, generally within 150 miles of the Institute.

Is there a national or international curriculum for becoming a Jungian analyst?

Each Jungian training program is independent and is based on local needs and the traditions of the society which undertakes the training program. In the United States, the various training societies consult at an annual training directors' meeting, but their programs are separate and independent.

Is it possible to do an internship at the Institute?

Our James Goodrich Whitney Clinic has a long-standing pre-doctoral psychology internship program. This is quite separate from our Analytic Training Program. Applications for internships are open to men and women enrolled in doctoral programs in clinical psychology, who wish to practice Jungian psychotherapy under supervision. Our Clinic participates in the California Psychology Internship Council (www.capic.net) and out interns are chosen through that program. For more information about interning here, email clinic@sfjung.org or call 415-771-8055, ext 205.

I am interested in pursuing studies in psychology but with a Jungian orientation. What degrees do you grant?

We are not a degree-granting institution. If you are interested in the gradutate study of psychology at a school which either specializes in or provides education in Jungian thought, check out the listings at the CGJung Page. You might also consider our Public Programs as a way of getting a taste of Jungian psychology.

The Analytic Training Program

The C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco offers to licensed psychotherapists a training program in preparation for certification as a Jungian analyst. The program is directed toward the development of mature, psychologically conscious individuals who will become thoroughly familiar with Jungian concepts and be able to use them in their own style in the practice of analysis.

In the program, personal analysis is considered basic to the training and provides the means for the individual to find his / her identity as a person and an analyst by establishing meaningful connection with his / her psychic contents.

A working knowledge of the conceptual framework is developed through semi­nars, continuous case conferences, and recommended reading.

In control analysis the candidate learns to apply in an individual way the experi­ence of training to his/her psychotherapeutic practice.

The program begins with four years of seminars, but completion of training for certification typically takes substantially longer.

It is the established practice of this Institute that personal analysts are not per­mitted to participate in any way in the selection process of applicants who are or have been their analysands, or in the evaluation process of candidates who are or have been their analysands.

The Institute is committed to the individual development of candidates. This gives latitude for discussing with training committees any special circumstances that might warrant modification of requirements contained in this training brochure.

Application to The Training Program

I. Personal Analysis

Motivation to enter analytic training is most reliably valid to the extent that it issues from a deep source in the psyche of an individual fully engaged in his/her personal analytic process over an extended period of time.

One’s personal analysis is considered to be the central and fundamental basis for the practice of analysis. Prior to applying for training, an individual must have reached a level of personal maturity and psychological development that will minimize the possibility of personal complexes interfering with the success of the professional training, and have considered the effect of participating in the training program on the course of the personal analysis. It is assumed that the applicant will examine carefully with the personal analyst his/her psychological readiness to begin analytic training at the time contemplated.

In light of the above, a substantial amount of effective personal analysis must be completed by the applicant prior to consideration of his/her acceptance into the program. Prior to submission of an application form, an applicant must have completed no fewer than 200 hours of personal analysis. In actual practice the majority of successful applicants in the past have completed considerably more analytic work than this minimum.

The personal analysis referred to in this section must be with a qualified Jungian analyst as defined by membership in the associations listed on page 8. A candi­date in training is expected to continue with personal analysis during the entire training period.

II. Academic Training and Clinical Experience

The C. G. Jung Institute offers highly specialized training in the theory and practice of Analytical Psychology. The level of work requires and presupposes a thorough knowledge of and substantial experience in the general field of psy­chotherapy. The Admissions Committee considers each applicant individually, focusing especially on the depth of relationship to the unconscious and his/her personal and professional maturity. Each applicant must have:

A.    Ability to demonstrate special sensitivity and competence as a psychotherapist. An applicant must be actively engaged in and have substantial experience doing long-term depth psychotherapy. Experience treating a wide range of psy­chiatric disorders, such as is included in psychiatric residency, may balance a relative inexperience doing depth psychotherapy. Upon admission and as a requirement of admission, applicants may be required to make up for deficiencies in experience.

B.     Adequate experience treating seriously disturbed persons, preferably in a multidisciplinary setting. The applicant should be able to assess the depth and danger of any presenting patient’s disturbance.

C.    A license to practice psychotherapy in the State of California.

D.    Evidence of having successfully met all the professional and ethical standards of the discipline in which he / she is licensed to practice.

E.     Adequate malpractice insurance coverage.

Several years of intensive consultation beyond the requirements of licensure is also recommended. Typically, successful applicants have had some of this ongoing consultation with a Jungian analyst.

Candidates in training arrive from a wide range of disciplines that teach psy­chotherapy. Once a selected applicant enters the Institute community there is little differentiation made on the basis of one’s academic and clinical origin. Nonetheless, this background is crucial to personal and professional identity, remaining part of the foundation of the analyst one ultimately becomes. Having fulfilled the requirements of one’s clinical discipline is a basic first step in training.

In terms of licensure, applications are invited from individuals who, by virtue of their training, experience and California license, are qualified to practice psychotherapy. Such eligible, licensed psychotherapists include psychiatrists who have completed a psychiatric residency (through PGY IV), licensed psychologists, marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, and registered nurses (who are certified nurse specialists with a master’s degree in mental health nursing).

Applicants who have any questions are urged to contact the chairperson of the Admissions Committee.

III. Other Qualified Applicants

Persons with prior training from other Jungian organizations, institutes, or training centers may apply. This category includes the two following circumstances:

A.    Jungian analysts who are members of the International Association for Analytical Psychology and reside in the San Francisco Bay Area may apply for membership in this Institute. Applicants must meet the same standards of pro­fessional training and experience in a clinical discipline as those required of applicants for training at the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. Such appli­cants must also have completed a course of analytic training equivalent to that offered by the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. Requirements include a thor­oughgoing knowledge of, and a substantial amount of clinical experience in, the general field of psychotherapy. As part of the evaluation process, the Certifying Committee will request letters of recommendation from members of the appli­cant-analyst’s local Jungian community.

If the credentials reviewed are satisfactory, the Certifying Committee will meet with the applicant to orient him/her to the Committee members and their expec­tations. A period of control work, customarily of at least six months duration, with a member of the Institute will usually be expected, after which the Certifying Committee will meet with the applying analyst to hear a case presen­tation and to engage in a discussion of analytic and general issues.

If the Certifying Committee is satisfied that the individual is qualified, it will rec­ommend to the members of the Institute that the applicant be elected to membership.

B.     Applicants who have undergone training in, but have not graduated from, other Jungian training programs will be evaluated by the Admissions Committee, as are all other applicants to the training program, with consideration being given to their previous Jungian training. The criteria used in assessing such applicants will be based on:

1.     The circumstances motivating the individual to leave the previous training program;

2.     The same standards which are applied to all other applicants for candi­dacy with respect to clinical experience and excellence; the quality, depth and breadth of Jungian and non-Jungian psychological and analytic training and experience; the individual’s personal qualities and motivation; and the pos­session of the required professional credentials;

3. The current structure of the Institute and its training program.

If selected for further training, applicants will be placed at an appropriate level in this program after consultation with the appropriate training committee.

Admission is for a probationary period which ends by decision of the training committee.

All above applicants are required to hold a license to practice psychotherapy within their specialty in the State of California in order to be accepted for training.

IV. Application for Training

The Institute training program welcomes applicants of diverse race, color, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation and gender.

Individuals who wish to apply must complete the application form and submit it to the Admissions Committee of the C. G. Jung Institute, together with the non­refundable application fee of $500, before January 1 of the year in which they wish to begin training. If an applicant is not accepted, reapplication after a two­year interval is possible. It requires submission of a new and complete application and payment of the fee.

Upon receipt of the application form, fee, and all supporting documents, the cre­dentials are reviewed by the Admissions Committee, emphasizing the following criteria:

A.    Personal development and maturity, as assessed by exploration of the appli­cant’s relationship to his/her own unconscious depths;

B.     Adequacy and extent of basic training;

C.    Amount, breadth, and quality of professional experience;

D.    Evidence of special aptitude and competence in the field of psychotherapy;

E.     Applicant’s reputation among colleagues, consultants, and supervisors for standards of personal and professional integrity;

F.     Evidence of his / her potential for becoming a Jungian analyst.

If the applicant appears to qualify, an evaluation of his/her personal, social and professional maturity, suitability and readiness is made by personal interviews with members of the Admissions Committee. At the discretion of the Admissions Committee, a case presentation may be requested. Supplementary information may also be requested. The Committee will be especially concerned in the inter­views with the applicant’s potential to become a Jungian analyst.

Curriculum, Program Stages and Cost

I.       The Curriculum

The curriculum consists of four years of weekly seminars taught mostly by Institute members. Regular attendance at these seminars is expected. The first two years cover basic theoretical and clinical material, such as:

Complexes; archetypes; mythology; symbolism; typology; developmental theory; general psychodynamics; psychopathology; analytic techniques including dream interpretation, active imagination, and sand play; transference and counter­transference.

Experiential and didactic group process sessions are scheduled for first and second year candidates.

As a part of the International Analytical Psychology Student pilot project for partial training, a qualified international scholar may join the first and second year seminar group to participate in all educational activities and reviewing processes.

The third and fourth year curricula are planned jointly by the Curriculum Committee and the candidates to include advanced topics as well as specialized subjects.

In addition to the seminars, regular attendance at a 39-hour continuous case con­ference is required. This requirement must be completed prior to advancement to control analysis.

When candidates enter the training program they begin seeing a clinic patient as part of training. Analysts are available who volunteer consultation time for this purpose during the phase prior to control analysis. The analysts may continue to volunteer time for this purpose during the control phase should the candidate and consultant wish to do this. Each candidate continues working with at least one clinic patient for the duration of training.

Seminars generally begin in early September and run the academic year. Holiday breaks are included.

II.        The Program Stages Analytic training is divided into three stages:


A.      Preliminary (this is a trial period of mutual evaluation between trainee and Institute which lasts one year or longer, according to the needs of the individual trainee);

B.       Candidacy;

C.      Advanced (includes control analysis with at least two training analysts).

Annually, each candidate meets formally with an evaluative committee. Advancement through the stages is an individual matter. The candidate con­siders his/her subjective sense of readiness for advancement, and the appropriate evaluative committee measures progress and development through interviews with, and written material from, the candidate, and ordinarily also through information received from analysts involved with the candidate’s training (consultant or control analyst; sometimes seminar leaders or other analysts), excepting always the candidate’s personal analyst.

When a candidate enters the training program, progress through the early years is followed by the Reviewing Committee. This committee determines the length of the Preliminary stage.

The Reviewing Committee also oversees the candidate’s transition into the Advanced (“Control”) stage, with the final decision for advancement made by a Review Board composed of the Reviewing Committee and one or more qualified Jungian analysts who are not members of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. Following completion of the Preliminary stage and the 39-hour continuous case conference requirement, a candidate who is in or beyond the third year of semi­nars may begin to consider his/her inner and outer readiness for advancement into Control stage. When the candidate feels ready, the decision to meet with the Review Board is determined in consultation with the Reviewing Committee during the candidates’s annual review meeting, which is usually in the spring. If there is mutual agreement, the candidate is scheduled to meet with the Review Board, ordinarily in the fall of the next academic year.

In this meeting with the Review Board the candidate’s familiarity with the theory and practice of Analytical Psychology and his/her individual development are evaluated in the context of a case presentation. Once advanced by this Board the candidate is eligible to begin control analysis. Selection of an initial control analyst may be done at that Review Board meeting, with confirmation and subse­quent selections at Certifying Committee meetings.

The Certifying Committee supervises progress from the Advanced stage of training through certification as an analyst. Currently, a minimum of 100 hours of control analysis is required by the Institute. These hours must be spent with at least two different analysts, usually including substantial experience with both a female and a male analyst.

When the candidate has successfully completed the seminars and the control analysis, and has drafted a paper on a control case at a time agreed upon with the Certifying Committee, he / she may meet with the Certifying Committee for eval­uation and mutual agreement to present that case before the Certifying Board, composed of the Certifying Committee and one or more qualified Jungian analysts who are not members of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. If the case presentation has been satisfactory and if in the judgment of the Certifying Board the candidate has achieved the necessary level of professional and personaldevelopment, it is certified that he / she has completed training as a Jungian analyst. The C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco is notified that he / she is eligible for election into membership.

Beginning candidates should know that all requirements stated in this brochure are subject to change by the Institute, and that minimum requirements will not necessarily be deemed sufficient in individual cases. For example, additional individual or group consultation that is not considered part of the minimum requirements is often encouraged during training.

Delay or deferment of advancement, which is the result of the considered deci­sion of the candidate, the Reviewing Committee, the Certifying Committee, or the faculty, may occur at any point in the process. This does not in itself jeopardize future advancement in the program. However, the Reviewing Committee and the Certifying Committee are empowered to initiate a leave of absence, a move to inactive status, or full termination of training if deemed appropriate. Details of these leave categories are on file at the Institute and available on request. A can­didate who is dissatisfied with a decision made by one of the training committees and who is unable to resolve it with that committee may request the President to convene a Candidate Training Review Board to review that decision.

All changes of candidate status will ordinarily be announced to the membership as they occur.

III. Annual Training Cost 2004-2005

Fees are $2,200 per year for candidates in seminars and $1,150 per year for post­seminar candidates. A case conference fee of $1,050 is charged for the year of attendance at the continuous case conference. In addition, the candidate will be undergoing a personal analysis for which he / she will be paying the analyst directly. During the course of training, the candidate also will be required to par­ticipate in control analysis with at least two analysts, whom he / she will pay directly. Beginning candidates may choose to work with continuing or new paid consultants, although prior to entering control stage there are volunteer consul­tants available as part of the requirement to see a clinic patient.

All fees are subject to change on a yearly basis.
