Analyst Training Program
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 title conferred by qualified Institutes under the supervision of the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP). The IAAP oversees 58 member institutes throughout the world and maintains a rigorous standard of training for institutes to meet in order to certify a trainee as a Jungian Analyst.
The Analyst Training Program integrates theory and practice through seminars based on readings of Jungian thought leaders with an emphasis on the Collected Works of C.G. Jung. Participation in the program includes two years of group supervision and a minimum of four years of individual supervision, in addition to their own individual analysis throughout their time in the training program. Candidates must demonstrate their ability to self-reflect and relate to others with a respectful psychological attitude that demonstrates a respect for inner and outer diversity. 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 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.
Cost of Training
For the 2024-2025 training year, tuition for candidates in the Preparatory and Candidacy Stages is $4,740 and $2,910 for candidates in the Control Stage. Fees for personal analysis and control analysis, are established between the candidate and the analyst. One hour per week of supervision for candidates in the Preparatory and Candidacy Stages is included in the tuition.

Qualifications for Application for Admission
Requirements
Prior to application for training the individual must have completed a minimum of 100 hours of personal analysis with an IAAP certified Jungian analyst and must be in analysis with an IAAP certified Jungian Analyst at the time of applying to the program. The Admissions Committee encourages applicants to have consistent Jungian analysis during the year preceding application for training.
Personal analysis serves both the individuation of our training program candidates and their development as an analyst. Given the individual nature of analysis and its importance for the candidate beyond the training requirement, setting up guidelines for the personal analysis component is complex. One of our values as a community is for in-person, embodied experiences. That applies to analysis as well as our training seminars. To that end we expect that prospective applicants work with analysts at our institute. While we believe that working with an analyst at our institute, while in training, constitutes the optimal arrangement, what is in the best interest of the candidate will be taken into consideration at the time of application.
The applicant must hold a license to practice psychotherapy in the state of California at the time of application. Professional experience and clinical skills will be evaluated.
In selecting candidates for training, we are looking for individuals with flexible and mature egos who have the potential to think symbolically and to engage with the psyche of their patients. This program is not only academic. It includes the development of oneself as a person who can engage with the unconscious in an open, reflective, and collaborative manner. To this end, personal analysis is of central importance both before and throughout training. Applicants will be evaluated through their written applications and meetings with members of the Admissions Committee.
