III. OVERVIEW OF TRAINING PROGRAM & PHASES

A. Pre-Application to Training 

1) Before applying for admission to training, it is recommended that potential applicants participate regularly in approved Basic Jung Studies seminars as well as regular on-going personal analysis. 

2) These seminars allow the seminar leaders to begin to know an applicant’s potential for analytical training, and potential candidates can acquire a realistic sense of the requirements and demands of the training process. 

B. Pre-Requisites

1) A license in the State of California to practice psychotherapy.

2) 100 completed hours of analysis with a certified IAAP Jungian Analyst, preferably with a CGJISD analyst. 

3) A strong background in clinical psychotherapy.

4) Applicants will provide a statement showing their vocation for this work and how they came to Jung, including relevant dreams and images. 

5) It is recommended that potential applicants participate in the series of introductory seminars (Basic Jung Series) offered by CGJISD prior to making application.

6) Besides the above, such factors as the applicant's personal maturity, seriousness of purpose, and apparent promise as an analyst, will be weighed carefully. The presence of such qualities will be essential for a positive decision.

C. The Admissions Process

1) The applicant shall be interviewed by an Admissions Committee of at least three analysts.  

2) Decisions by the Admissions Committee are subject to approval by the CGJISD membership. Admissions decisions may not be appealed.  

3) Individuals applying for training through the CGJISD must have 100 hours of personal analysis with a certified IAAP Jungian Analyst. A CGJISD analyst is required by the time the candidate enters the Training Program.  Personal analysis must be currently ongoing. The candidate is required to be in analysis throughout the course of training. A minimum of 300 hours of analysis is required for certification from the CGJISD Confirmation of analytic hours must be sent by the personal analyst to the Director of Admissions. Candidate admission application and supporting documents should also be submitted to the Director of Admissions.1

4) The fulfillment of the number of hours of personal analysis required for admission to the Training Program does not oblige the Admissions Committee to accept an applicant into the program. Nor does the fulfillment of required hours of personal analysis oblige the Transition Committee to advance a candidate through training.  

5) To protect the privacy of the analytic relationship, the candidate's personal analysts will be excluded from evaluating or supervising any aspect of the candidate's training. 

6) The personal analyst of an applicant to the CGJISD shall have no input into an analysand’s application to the Center other than to report the number of analytical hours 

D. Application Fee 

1)   An application fee of $300 is due at the time of application and not refundable unless the individual withdraws from the interview process prior to attending the interviews. 

E. Application Due Date

1)   As determined by the Admissions Committee.

F. Admission Interview 

1)  The Admissions Committee conducts interviews as is necessary.

G. Transfer Applicants to the CGJISD  

1) Transfer from any IAAP training program into the CGJISD Training Program is not automatic. A person seeking to transfer from another IAAP approved program must be in good standing in that training program and must apply to the CGJISD Training Program through the Admissions Committee. If accepted, the applicant will be admitted to the level of training deemed appropriate by the Admissions Committee. 

2) All decisions concerning transfer applicants are made by the Admissions Committee but must be approved by the CGJISD analyst members. 

H. Candidate Waiver 

Candidates are required upon application to training to sign a waiver (see Appendix) acknowledging their understanding that their practice of Jungian analysis must not infringe on any law relating to the practice of psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, social work, counseling, or any other mental health profession. For full details, see the copy of the Candidate Waiver included in APPENDIX II. 

I. Phase I of Training – Years 1 and 2 

i. Weekly personal analysis with an IAAP certified Jungian Analyst from CGJISD. 

ii. Classes meet at the CGJISD office or on Zoom bi-monthly over the course of 16 weeks in the two semesters of a training year.  Typically, a student will begin class on the first and third Saturday of each month.  The day is long and intense, especially since the classes are usually quite small.  We anticipate respectful dialogue, uncompromising loyalty to the facts of the psyche, and an atmosphere in which Jung's works, and those closest to him, can be studied at depth.  

iii. Basic courses focus on Jung's Collected Works -- in particular, Vols. 5, 6, 7, and 8. At this level, we also explore the seminal work of Marie-Louise von Franz, Edward  Edinger, Erich Neumann, Barbara Hannah, and Esther Harding. Since faculty members have specialties, students may attend seminars on Art Therapy, Sandplay Therapy, Authentic Movement, or read classics of English literature to explore connections to Analytical Psychology.  An introduction to Fairy Tales and Greek mythology has become a staple of this phase of training.

iv. Each semester features a Practice and Theory course to address clinical concerns, i.e., how to work with clients from a Jungian point of view. This class is held at the end of the day.

v. At the conclusion of each course, any papers or notes of oral presentations are placed in a student's file. The instructor also places in that file a written evaluation of that student's participation in class and evident grasp of the material. Any student has access to his or her file.

10. Phase II of Training – Years 3 and 4

a) Weekly personal analysis with a certified IAAP Jungian Analyst from the CGJISD.  

b) Completion of an advanced curriculum.

c) The location and intention of advanced classes is the same as for basic classes; but now the focus is upon the more difficult Collected Works of Jung -- such as Vols. 9i, 11, 12, and 16.  When appropriate, the late vols. 9ii and 14 are offered.  A grasp of the psychological meaning of alchemy is essential at this stage along with a proper understanding of transference and countertransference.  Classes on dream interpretation and active imagination are also covered in this phase.  Special seminars on the psychological meaning of Christian Gnosticism, Christian Mysticism, Hinduism, and Buddhism may also be included at this time.

d) Each semester features a Practice and Theory course to address clinical concerns.

e) All student materials and instructor evaluations are placed in that person's file to which the student has access.

f) Students at this phase must begin individual case supervision with a CGJISD analyst, paid for by the student. The supervision should be twice monthly (minimum) and preferably be in person. If an analyst is chosen who lives in another city, phone or Zoom sessions are acceptable; however, face-to-face sessions periodically are suggested as well. Students must inform the Director of Training that they are in supervision and with whom. 

11. Bi-annual Evaluation - Transition Committee Meeting   

It is required of all candidates that they meet with the Transitions Committee at the end of Phase I and at the end of Phase II of training – to be scheduled by the Transitions Committee Director.

12. Transition Committee Documents 

Analysts who write evaluations for candidates (Control Case analysts, seminar instructors, colloquia leaders) should send a copy of the evaluation to the candidate, as well as the Director of Training.  

13. Candidacy Stage 

The Candidacy Stage lasts a minimum of 4 years and requires the completion of 24 full semester courses, as well as additional selected workshops. 

14. Pre-Control Case Paper 

After completing the required classes, all students are required to continue supervision and to develop a paper (12 - 15 pages) that eventually could be expanded into a Control Paper. 

The paper should include the following:  

a) Introduction to include referral, initial contact, description of patient in terms of body language, persona, feeling in the room and your initial response in terms of a patient’s potential for analytic work at depth.

b) Personal history, ego development & typology.

c) Connection to the Self through symbolic processing of Dreams, Active Imagination and Art, including possible references to Fairytales, Mythology and Alchemy.  

d) Development from initial meeting to the present, including any problems that may have arisen.

e) References to parental complexes, shadow and archetypal references and themes (dialogue in the room could be used to illustrate this).

f) Transference/counter-transference issues that may have been constellated.

15. Transition to Control Case Phase

When the paper is completed, students must contact the Director of Transition who will form a committee of three CGJISD analysts who will read the paper and decide if the paper is acceptable to proceed to a Transition Committee meeting.  

If the paper is deemed acceptable, the student will be scheduled for a Transition Committee meeting. If the paper is not acceptable, the student will continue to work with his or her supervising analyst to improve it and then resubmit it to the Transition Committee.  

The student should be aware of what prompted the selection of the case and should be able to anticipate development in the case for the purpose of expanding the short paper toward the Control Paper. 

If successful in the Transition Committee meeting, the student will be allowed to advance to the Control Case Phase. If the student needs to further process issues that arose during the meeting the Transition Committee will articulate in a letter to the student the issues that need further processing (in personal analysis, reflection, and case supervision). 

16. Phase III - Control Case Phase

The Control Case Phase follows the successful completion of Candidacy (Phases I & II), the approval of the Pre-Control Paper and a successful Transition Committee meeting. The Control Case Phase lasts a minimum of two years and consists of: 

a) Weekly personal analysis with a certified IAAP Jungian Analyst from the CGJISD.

b) Weekly meetings with a CGJISD analyst, called the "Control Analyst," who supervises one case, known as the "Control Case."  At some point a second Control Analyst from the CGJISD must be chosen by the candidate for oversight of the same case.

c) The candidate must complete 100 hours of face-to-face control supervision with these two Control Analysts, with a minimum 30 hours with the second analyst.

d) The candidate is no longer required to take courses but is required to attend selected advanced seminars.

e) The Control Case Paper should be approximately 50 to 60 pages in length (double-spaced). Specific guidelines for the structure and content of this paper will be provided (see APPENDIX I).

17. Certification

a) The Control Case Paper will be presented before a Certifying Committee composed of three CGJISD analysts who may decide to recommend the candidate for certification as a Jungian Analyst. 

b) When the candidate has completed 100 hours of Control Case supervision with two different analysts, and has completed the Control Case paper, the student will contact the Director of Certification. The Director of Certification will then call together a committee of three analysts and set a date for a meeting with that candidate. 

c) The Director of Certification will then review the training records of the student to pass on to the chairperson of the candidate’s committee and ask both Control Case supervising analysts to confirm in writing the number of hours they have worked with this student in Control Case supervision.  

d) The candidate must have the paper completed and ready to submit by March 1st for a June meeting and by October 1st for a January meeting with the Certifying Committee.  This requirement provides participating analysts a month to read the paper and to confer with each other about its style and content. If changes are required to improve the paper according to the CGJISD Guidelines, this feedback will be provided to the candidate with enough time to re-write the paper and resubmit it to the committee.  

e) If there are further issues that must be resolved, then the candidate must continue to work on these with the Certification Committee Chair and resubmit the paper at a later date.  

f) The Certifying Committee's recommendation must subsequently be ratified by the CGJISD Analyst members. The newly certified Jungian Analyst is then recommended to the IAAP for membership in the international community of Jungian Analysts.

18. Certification and Diploma 

A Diploma in Analytical Psychology is a certificate stating that the candidate has completed the Analyst Training Program of the CGJISD. 

IV.     SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT DATES, DOCUMENTS, AND FEES
