1 Analytical Psychotherapy A Swiss State Recognized Postgraduate Training Program of the C. G. Jung Institute Zurich

2 General Information In 1948, the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich, Küsnacht was founded with the cooperation of the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. His Analytical Psychology and Psychotherapy belongs to the psychodynamic therapies, which attach great importance to the unconscious. To the idea of the personal unconscious, Jung added the concept of the so-called collective unconscious. In this he recognized the primeval imprinting and basic patterns of human life, which he called archetypes and which are depicted, for example, in myths and fairy tales. These basic patterns give rise to the development of complexes, which mirror our individual relationship experiences as well as personal experiences and anchor them in our memories. Jung s theory of complexes helps to understand personality developments, relationship conflicts and psychological maldevelopments, and, on this basis, helps to treat them psychotherapeutically. Analytical Psychotherapy promotes the development of one s own resources and further regards a psychic problem as a challenge to an essential personal development: individuation. In practical psychotherapeutic work, the interpretation of dreams, typology, pictures, sand play and active imagination are, among other things, very important for an understanding of the conscious and unconscious psychic processes. Purpose and aim of working with the unconscious is to get in touch with the soul and with one s individual creative possibilities. On this basis, Jungian Psychology and Psychotherapy touches questions of meaning and of spirituality. The transcultural orientation makes it easier in the interdisciplinary exchange to find answers to the challenges of a globalized world and of multicultural societies. For the training to become an Analytical Psychotherapist, the C.G. Jung Institute offers three courses of diploma studies: - The training program for Analytical Psychotherapy with adults (duration 8 semesters) - The training program for Analytical Psychotherapy with children/ adolescents (duration 8 semesters) - combined training program for Analytical Psychotherapy with adults and children/adolescents (duration 8 semesters) The diploma acquired at C. G. Jung Institute, leads to a federally recognized postgraduate title in psychotherapy and enables to independently manage a psychotherapeutic practice. Objective The prime objective of this program is to enable the participants to practice as (Jungian) Analytical Psychotherapists by acquiring a diploma of the C. G. Jung-Institute Zürich, Küsnacht. At the same time, the training program aims at a reflective further development of the participants. Duration of Studies The minimum period of study for this degree course is 8 semesters or 4 years respectively. Leave of absence semesters are not included in the minimum number of regular trainingsemesters.

3 Admission Requirements Those applying for training must provide evidence of a Master s degree in Psychology (university or university of applied science) or of a university degree in Medicine. Each applicant will be assigned to an Admission Committee that consists of three members. During admission interviews, the Committee assesses the applicant s personal suitability to be a psychotherapyst and decides on admitting him or her to the training program. Location of Studies The theoretical part of the training will usually take place at the C.G. Jung-Institute Zurich, Küsnacht. The Institute is within walking distance from the local train station, which can be reached by train from Zurich main station in less than 15 minutes. Lecturers/Trainers/Analysts Lecturers for the theoretical training generally are accredited members of the C.G. Jung- Institute Zurich, Küsnacht. Professionally qualified and didactically competent guest lecturers additionally take part in the training. The Training Analysis/Self Experience might be conducted with the accredited training analysts of the Institute or, for students living abroad, with analysts chosen by the student. However, the chosen analysts must be members of the IAAP and prove at least 5 years activity as Jungian Analysts.

4 Structure and Essential Elements of the Training The training in two phases The goal of the first phase of the training up to the intermediate examinations is that students acquire the theoretical knowledge necessary to be able to work with patients psychotherapeutically after they have passed the intermediate examinations. After passing the intermediate examinations, the training candidate is designated a diploma candidate and is eligible to work with patients under the guidance of a supervisor accredited at the C.G. Jung-Institute, and to visit lectures, seminars and courses that are reserved for diploma candidates. The second phase of the training up to the diploma serves to empower the person being trained in his self-reliance as a Jungian Psychotherapist. The training analysis The training analysis (self-experience) represents the core of the training. It accompanies the entire course of training, comprises at least 150 hours and, like every analytical or psychotherapeutic activity, is inherently subject to confidentiality. It is separated from all evaluative functions. A training analysis session lasts for at least 45 minutes. Theoretical knowledge Over the course of the training, those in training must show evidence of having gained at least 500 credit points of theory. A credit point lasts at least 45 minutes. Lectures and seminars should impart the necessary theoretical and technical knowledge for the fields examined and, in addition, offer insights into the areas of knowledge that stand in close proximity to Analytical Psychology and Psychotherapy. All lectures and seminars are offered to students in the form of subjects; before the intermediate examinations, the basic subjects and in the second part of the advanced subjects. However, in part the courses may be freely chosen. Depending on the program, several written papers must be submitted which are to be evaluated by an examiner, training analyst, supervisor candidate or supervisor. However, the personal training analysts, as well as the members of the individual Admission Committee, are not eligible. Clinical internship In the clinical internships (at least two years of 40 hours per week, part-time internships last correspondingly longer), the student should acquire experiences with a broad spectrum of psychological illnesses. The internship has to take place in in a psychosocial or mental health institution. At least one year of these two years has to take place in an institution for inpatient or outpatient psychotherapy and psychiatric care. Clinical internships have to be made after having finished university. They should take place during the postgraduate training at the Institute. Internships that have been made up to 6 years before the start of training may be recognized. Work in a hired relationship (psychology and/or medicine) as well as internships as unpaid volunteers are valid as internships.

5 Intermediate examinations In all three programs, the first phase of the training ends with a series of four examinations. In the adults program E, for example, the intermediate examinations are concerned with the following fields: Fundamentals of Analytical Psychology; Comparative Developmental Psychology; Depth Psychology of Adult Dreams; Depth Psychology of Myths and Fairy Tales;. Supervised analytical casework with clients Following the designations as diploma candidate, at least 500 hours of casework with patients are to be performed in all programs. At least ten patients are to be worked with. A treatment hour lasts at least 45 minutes. The therapeutic casework that is carried out with patients by diploma candidates within the framework of their training is subject to the C.G. Jung-Institute's supervision and, during this whole phase of the training, must be overseen regularly by supervisors accredited by the C.G. Jung Institute. The work with clients must be accompanied by a total of at least 150 supervision sessions. At least 50 sessions must be completed in individual settings with at least two supervisors and at least 60 sessions in group supervision (in the programs E and K with at least two groups, in the program C with at least three groups). 30 sessions can be completed either in in an individual or in a group setting. An individual supervision session lasts at least 45 minutes and a group supervision session lasts 90 minutes. Diploma examination The second phase of the training closes with five examinations in the adult and children/adolescents programs E and K and six examinations in the combined program C respectively. For the adult program E diploma, for example, the following fields of study are examined: Individual Case Examination of an Adult including Depth Psychological Understanding of Dreams; Clinical Psychiatry, Diagnosis and Therapy; Depth Psychological Understanding of a Myth or Fairy Tale; Depth Psychological Understanding of Pictures or Sandplay Processes in Adults and its Application; the Individuation Process and its Symbols. A tabular summary of the exams in the respective programs can be found at the end of the curriculum Analytical Psychotherapy on the website of the institute.
