Specialization in Jungian Studies

Printer Friendly Version

The depths of the human psyche - its symbols, mysteries, and inner myths - were defined by Carl Jung in the early 20th century. The College offers the MA and PhD Psychology with a Specialization in Jungian Studies and a Jungian Studies Certificate program. These programs focus on the collected works of C.G. Jung.

Today, scholarship based on Jung's insights is increasingly embraced as essential to those who would chart a path through the issues of our time. Jung's insights into the human condition, the operations of the psyche, and its implications for cultural expression are timeless and in many respects yet to be fully discovered and appreciatred.

The Jugian Studies program is directed by James Hollis, PhD, noted Jungian analyst and author and Director Emeritus of the C. G. Jung Educational Center of Houston. They are designed for clinicians and other students who desire to deepen their understanding of the dynamics of the psyche, add a depth dimension to their work or explore psychodynamics as a catalyst for personal growth.

Students will study Jung's original work, as well as almost a century of additional research covering a wide range of applied fields such as developmental psychology, literature, and the social sciences. The focus is both practical and interdisciplinary, allowing students to take Jung's basic insights, and the subsequent research, and apply them to other aspects of human experience from family dynamics to law.
