Overview

Analytical Psychology, initially developed by C. G. Jung, focuses on the complexity of the human psyche and the life-long development of the self in dialogue with the personal and collective aspects of the unconscious. The theory and practice of Analytical Psychology makes use of symbolic material from the unconscious to deepen the individual’s sense of purpose and meaning as well as addresses the function of religious and spiritual experience. This therapeutic model focuses on the intersubjective and mutually transformative nature of the analytic relationship. 

The Analyst Training Program (ATP) prepares experienced, licensed clinicians to become certified as Jungian psychoanalysts through an in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of analytical psychology grounded in personal analysis and clinical consultation.

Elements of the Training Program

Personal Analysis provides the candidate with his or her individual knowledge of the reality and workings of the psyche, and is required throughout training with a member of International Association for Analytical Psychology. Becoming an analyst is movement toward an authentically personal way of being and working.

Clinical Consultation focuses on the development of the candidate as an analyst and is required throughout training with one or more members of the Chicago Society of Jungian Analysts. Clinical consultation anchors analytic theory in the interpersonal and archetypal dimensions of the analytic relationship, moving from a more general practice consultation to an in-depth focus on two or three long-term analytic cases.

Assessment of progress in training by members of the monitoring committees as well as by teachers is a crucial part of the Analyst Training Program. The monitoring committees focus more specifically on the personal growth and development of the candidate as an analyst, and together with the candidate, discern advancement to the next stage of training.

The Process of Analytic Training is therefore both educational and transformational, and frequently leads to significant personal development and psychological deepening. The program fosters mutual development and psychological awareness within an intimate learning community of candidates and analysts. Upon graduation, candidates have an appreciation of the symbolic attitude within the interactive field of analysis and a working understanding of transference dynamics within the analytic relationship.

The Curriculum is organized thematically around the reading of Jung’s seminal writings as well as subsequent developments in analytical psychology and psychoanalysis. Courses in theory and practice are likewise organized around major themes that include the structure and complexity of the psyche, the mythic patterns of archetypal potentials and dynamics, the capacity to work with the symbolic meaning of dreams, and a practical grasp of the mutual transformation of analyst within the interactive transferential field of analysis.  Case seminars, case colloquia, dream practica, and group process ground the thematic and course materials in personal and clinical experience. The curriculum extends over a four-year course of study taught on nine three-day weekends each year.
