Public Programs

The Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts offers a series of programs that are designed for everyone with an interest in psyche—the general public, individuals from a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds, and clinical practitioners who are seeking to learn more about Jungian psychology in a relaxed and informal communal setting. Our events offer the opportunity to hear from presenters on the cutting edge of Depth Psychology, both nationally and internationally. Most are widely published and have made extraordinary contributions to the field. This format includes audience dialogue to enhance its richness and community spirit.

Our programs are approved for Continuing Education credit for psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors.
