Does Jungian Analysis/Psychotherapy Work?
Yes. Many people in Jungian Analysis have experienced positive results and outcomes related to increased consciousness and self awareness, which leads to better coping strategies, resolution of inner and outer conflict, and the experience of greater efficacy in the world. In response to this question, a study specifically designed to test the question of the effectiveness of Jungian Analysis was conducted in Switzerland. This naturalistic, prospective process-outcome-study was carried out in international cooperation with researchers in Heidelberg, Berlin and Zurich. It was conducted between 1997 and 2003. The conclusion of this study was: “Jungian psychotherapy is effective in the treatment of patients with a large range of disturbances and different degrees of suffering. The methods, the setting (e.g. frequency) and duration of therapy can be adapted to the needs of the patients and thus are variable. – The average number of hours of treatment is 100 for women and 74 for men.
