What
is the Philadelphia Jung Institute?
The Philadelphia Jung Institute is engaged solely in the selection
and training of certified Jungian analysts in collaboration with
the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. Graduates of this
program are eligible for membership in the International Association
of Analytical Psychology, the international accrediting body of
Jungian analysts and Institutes. The analytic training program consists
of small colloquia devoted to the broad study of Jungian psychology,
its symbolic approach to the psyche and the clinical practice of
Jungian analysis. Large group lectures are a part of the training,
coordinated with visiting analysts and scholars who are scheduled
to present to the Philadelphia Jung Seminar.
In
addition to meeting for sixteen hours per weekend during the two
academic semesters mentioned above, students attend twice yearly,
four-day, off-site conferences. The object of these intensive gatherings
is to introduce trainees from the Philadelphia area to colleagues
and certified analysts from around the Americas and Europe. Lectures,
study groups and case colloquia are scheduled during these four-day
meetings. Rigorous evaluations, papers, clinical presentations and
extensive supervision, as well as written and oral examinations,
are all essential elements of the training process.
