Foundations of Jungian Psychology Certificate Program

The C.G. Jung Institute of New England is pleased to announce the Foundations of Jungian Psychology Certificate Program (FCP), an intensive study of the fundamentals of Jungian psychology and their application to one’s personal life and career. The program is offered in a hybrid format. Participants are encouraged to attend in-person for a richer learning experience. Distance learners or those otherwise limited in their ability to travel can participate in the program remotely, via Zoom.

 

Overview

In this program, participants will study the foundational ideas of Jungian theory and practice. The 7-month program consists of 14, three-hour classes providing a total of 42 contact hours.  Classes are held on one Saturday each month, October through April.

Courses will include Jungian theory and its practical application for psychotherapy, personal growth, and as a prism through which to view the culture and times in which we live.

A certificate acknowledging completion of the FCP will be awarded to participants after completion of the entire program and the submission of a program evaluation form. Attendance at 80% of all classes is required to receive the certificate.

 

Who Should Apply

The FCP is open to all those interested in furthering their knowledge of Jungian psychology as it might enhance their professional work and personal development. Class participants may include medical and mental health professionals, pastoral care providers, educators, artists, and individuals who have had a longtime interest in Jung.
