Because of the COVID pandemic, 2021-2022 academic year programs will continue to be via video conference. This enables students from other regions who might not be able to travel to Philadelphia to participate in the Philadelphia Jung Seminar. We anticipate the 2022-2023 academic year will feature face-to-face instruction.

The Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts (PAJA) is dedicated to the ongoing teaching and exploration of the work of C.G. Jung, founder of analytical psychology. PAJA offers a number of programs for the study of Jungian thought and practice, and welcomes all mental health professionals and members of the general public who are interested in Jung’s work. The Philadelphia Jung Institute, the training arm of PAJA, is dedicated to training qualified professionals in becoming certified Jungian Analysts. PAJA also serves as a professional organization consisting of certified Jungian Analysts. PAJA supports diversity, pledges equity and fosters inclusivity. We encourage students of any race, color, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity and national or ethnic origin to participate in our programs.

Training to Become A Jungian Analyst:

The psychoanalytic training program of the Philadelphia Jung Institute consists of small colloquia devoted to the study of Jungian psychology, its symbolic approach to the psyche and the clinical practice of Jungian analysis. The program meets for 16 hours per weekend, one weekend per month, for two academic semesters. This makes it possible to complete rigorous training without making a weekly commitment – an important advantage for those who live outside the Philadelphia area and for whom weekly travel would be a significant burden. This training is also eligible for continuing education credits.
