Welcome to this Jungian life. Three good friends and Jungian analysts, Lisa Marchiano,

Deborah Stewart, and Joseph Lee invite you to join them for an intimate and honest conversation

that brings a psychological perspective to important issues of the day.

I'm Lisa Marchiano and I'm a Jungian analyst in Philadelphia. I'm Joseph Lee and I'm a Jungian analyst in Philadelphia.

I'm Joseph Lee and I'm a Jungian analyst in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

I'm Deborah Stewart, a Jungian analyst on Cape Cod.

We are going to do a special episode in order to respond really fully and adequately to the number of people that have written in asking about how to train as a therapist or especially a Jungian analyst. It's been really

heartening for us to receive so much interest in this, which is obviously something that

matters a great deal to us. So we definitely want to help pass the word. It's quite a process.

So here we go. Taking it from the top in what we hope will be a relatively orderly fashion

so that you'll have a little bit of a roadmap for your journey, perhaps into being a Jungian analyst.

And I will start off by saying simply that training to become a Jungian analyst is something

that happens at a psychoanalytic training institute. It doesn't happen at a university.

You can't go get a degree to become an analyst.

So there are freestanding institutes in many cities across the world.

We trained, the three of us trained up the Interregional Society for Jungian Analysts, which is a kind of umbrella training organization that we'll talk a little bit more about in a minute.

There are training institutes of various makes across the world,

and you can check out the IAAP website.

That's the International Association for Analytical Psychology.

IAAP.org will put the link in the show notes.

They have all of their member societies all around the world.

You can find out if there's training close to you that way.
