C G Jung Institute of Chicago

The Clinical Training Program (CTP) in Analytical Psychotherapy is a unique and dynamic two-year part-time clinically oriented training program offered by the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago. Its focus is to provide health, mental health, and social service professionals an opportunity to enrich and deepen their work through didactic and experiential learning in Analytical Psychotherapy.

The CTP meets for one weekend a month (October - June) and is currently at the end of its two-year cycle. A new two-year cycle begins October 2010 and the deadline for applications to the 2010 - 2012 program is August 1, 2010.

The CTP accepts psychologists, social workers, counselors, marriage and famiy therapists, physicians, and nurses. If space permits, the CTP directors will consider a limited number of allied professionals who do not practice psychotherapy. Such professionals might include spiritual directors, chaplains, alternative health care providers, and educators. The allied professionals would participate in all aspects of the program except where confidential clinical material is discussed. At those times, alternative groups would be provided. Continuing education credits are available for CTP students. (Scroll down for more information about the CTP).

The CTP was developed for health, mental health and social service professionals who:

• Wish to learn Jungian theory in a warm collegial atmosphere that encourages deep personal and experiential learning as well as professional networking

• Are looking for a continuing education program that will enrich and improve one’s clinical competences through educational seminars and group consultation

• Would like to participate in a stimulating learning environment where the faculty are Jungian psychoanalysts and the participants are professionals from a variety of cultural and educational backgrounds

• Are interested in a time-limited clinical certification program that is remarkable in providing training in Analytic Psychotherapy while allowing participants to be employed full-time and, in some cases, to commute long distances

The Clinical Training Program (CTP) in Analytical Psychotherapy offered by the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago is a two-year program where participants meet once a month for a collegial weekend training experience at the Institute. The program, which runs from October to June of each year, includes 144 hours of instruction in Jungian theory and 64 hours of small group consultation--all provided by Jungian psychoanalysts. Both the length and structure of the CTP enable an engaging and warm educational community that encourages deep personal learning as well as professional networking.

Participants will learn what it means to think and conceptualize symbolically from a Jungian perspective. Coursework in the program will included many fundamental aspects of Jungian thearoy and practice such as dreams, active imagination, transference and counter-transference, the Self, the use of mythology and fairy tales in psychotherapy, sandtray, as well as common practice issues such as how to deal with ethical dilemmas and termination.

Curriculum

Coursework: Instructional class size is limited. The courses include the history and fundamentals of Jungian theory as well as new developments by post-Jungian analysts, and other aspects of the practice of Analytical Psychotherapy. The following is a list of likely subjects to be covered:

1) Jung’s Map of the Psyche: The World Within and the World Without

3) Levels of the Psyche (Conscious and Unconscious) According to Jung: Personal, Cultural, Collective

Group Consultations: For group consultations, participants are divided into groups of no more than eight. Each group is led by the same Jungian psychoanalyst for the year. The group consultation time allows participants time and space to apply instructional materials to their clinical practice, personal experience, and the small group process. Members are expected to bring their own clinical work to the group for consultation.

Final Paper: Students are required to write a 30-page paper exploring an area of Analytical Psychotherapy that interests them. The final paper must be completed before a certificate is awarded.

CTP students will have access to the Institute’s Library, which contains more than five thousand volumes, major journal holdings in Analytical Psychology, and The Collected Works of C.G. Jung as well as The Standard Edition of the Collected Papers of Sigmund Freud. There are holdings dealing with symbolism, mythology, literature, art, culture, and widely recognized works in a variety of psychoanalytic, therapeutic, and spiritual/religious traditions.

Students enrolled in the CTP will also have access to the complete Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) at the Institute, and will be able to join ARAS at the same rate as the analyst members of the Institute and the candidates in analytic training. In 2005, ARAS launched its online collection of archetypal images and commentary, providing a vast resource for dream analysis and amplification, cultural studies, and research into art and artists. This is the only online archive designed specifically around archetypal themes and images.

CTP students are invited to participate in lively gatherings with analysts and analytic trainees in events such as the annual holiday party, wine & cheese receptions with presenting analysts, and other workshops and symposia offered by the Institute. Finally, students who graduate from the program are eligible for membership in the Professional Affiliates, an alumni association of the Clinical Training Program (CTP) graduates.

Tuition for the 2010-2012 CTP program is $3000 per year. At approximately 36 hours per quarter, this calculates to approximately $28 per class hour. Payments are made the first month of each trimester at $1000 per quarter.

The C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists and by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to provide continuing education credit to social workers, professional counselors and marriage and family therapists. The C. G. Jung Institute maintains responsibility for this program and its content. There is a $15 processing fee for each quarter for which CE credit is requested.
