What is a certified Jungian analyst?
Certification as a Jungian analyst requires completion of an extensive and thorough post-graduate training program at an institute approved by the International Association for Analytical Psychology. Requirements for admission to such a training program include a graduate degree, supervised experience in a therapeutic field, and personal Jungian analysis, which continues throughout the training and lays its foundation. Jung believed that all analysts must of necessity undergo their own rigorous and sustained personal analysis. The analysts training generally extends over a four to eight year period. Training and certification are designed to ensure a high level of competence, quality and integrity among Jungian analysts.
