Who We Are

The C.G. Jung Institute of Dallas, founded as a training Society in Paris in 1988, is formed of IAAP certified Jungian analysts who have committed to two main objectives:

  • To provide education and community for fellow analyst members in the form of continuing education classes, an annual retreat and several board meetings. The tenor of this interaction is supportive, truthful and connective. Members share on a professional and personal basis and have a long-standing tradition of mutual respect and regard for one another.
  • To provide information and education for the public at large who strive to understand Jungian Psychology, Jungian Analysis and Jungian Training.

Carl Gustav Jung was gifted with an uncannily sharp and inquisitive intellect, and even at a young age was concerned with the nautre of the human psyche. He read extensively from the works of Gothe, Kant, Schopenhauer, and Meister Eckhart, to name a few. Though in his student years he was interested in religious thought, philosophy, and archaeology

Components of Jungian Analysis

Analytical psychology approaches psychotherapy in the tradition of C.G. Jung. It is distinguished by a focus on the role of symbolic experiences in human life.

Analytical Psychology

Jungian analysis is a systematic cultivation of the inner life, applicable not only to neurosis but also to exceptional development.

Jungian Theory

Comparative mythology is the comparison of myths from different cultures in an attempt to identify shared themes and characteristics.

What Is A Certified Jungian Analyst?

As with all the great depth psychologies, including psychoanalysis, training in Jungian psychology began as a mentor-based tradition. Analysts were originally trained by C.G. Jung and his close colleagues. The focus of their training experience consisted of years of personal analysis and clinical supervision as well as attendance at a variety of seminars given by Jung. As the number of those wishing to become analysts increased, Jung founded the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland in 1948, the first program of its kind in the world. Since then, training centers have been founded in Europe, Australia, Israel, and the Americas.

Contemporary Jungian training is a combination of that mentor-based tradition and the acquisition of a defined body of knowledge. Years of personal analysis and supervision are still the cornerstones of analytic training (it was in face Jung, in the early years of psychoanalysis, who emphasized the analyst's analysis as the most critical aspect of analytical training), in conjunction with extensive exposure to a range of disciplines as diverse as comparative mythology and religion, Jungian theory, and clinical psychological theory. Certification requires personal analysis and supervision during the entire training period as well.
