| FROM THE PRESIDENT

T he C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco is changing its place in
the world—moving this summer from a residential location to a
bustling, diverse, and cosmopolitan neighborhood that features a
public parking garage and is served by BART. At 2610 Mission St.,
the Institute will be near scores of other nonprofits and
community-based organizations, many of which have
decades of experience working with and on behalf of our
new neighbors.

In our new location the Institute will continue to do what
it does well: train Jungian analysts, provide internships
and continuing education for therapists, and offer
public seminars that bridge psychology and culture. The
Institute’s sliding-scale psychotherapy clinic will persist
in meeting the needs of people who want in-depth
psychotherapy but cannot pay market-rate fees.

As we join a new community, the Institute will aspire to be
a good neighbor. We have already begun reaching out to
neighborhood organizations. Decades ago, our founders
brought Jungian thought and practice to San Francisco.
We are extending their legacy in this move to a broader
cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic community, from
which I am confident we will gain wisdom and strength.
As a “learning community” we remain eager to learn.                          Carolyn Bray, PhD
                                                                          President, 2020-2022
Our Institute community is defined not as much by geography as
by common interest and shared values. As President, I invite you
to open yourself to this new space and to be at home in it; the
building has been designed with the needs of our current and
future community members in mind.

The three-mile journey from 2040 Gough Street to 2610 Mission
Street is, for all of us, a pilgrimage. I am pleased that we are
traveling together.

| THE TRAINING PROGRAM

A   nalytic Training at the Institute draws participants toward the
depth of relating and understanding which is naturally evoked
by cultivating the individuation process in oneself and others.
Through seminars, group process, case conference, and super-
vision, candidates participate in an intensive, extended period of
engagement with the analytic process.

While this is a demanding endeavor, it is one that
welcomes those interested in developing a deeper
appreciation and application of Jungian concepts
in therapeutic practice. For those working in mental
health public service positions, there is the possibility
of some financial assistance through our Public Service
Fellowship.

Beginning a new training experience calls for energy
and time, but the process is also vitalizing. The training
provides for a broad consideration of core concepts in
analytical psychology, including archetypes, dreams,
imagination, typology, and developmental dimensions
of becoming. Collaborating with fellow candidates
and experienced analysts in appreciating the Jungian
view of emerging consciousness fosters a learning
community that continues after training is completed.
The time it takes for candidates to integrate training
experiences in an individual way is more than repaid by                           Alex Peer, PhD

| MISSION OF THE INSTITUTE

A   nalytical psychology is the theoretical
foundation for Jungian analysis, a healing
practice that serves the basic human need
for psychological consciousness and growth.
The C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco was
founded to advance a viewpoint vital to the
conscious, ethical practice and utilization of
analytical psychology and to disseminate
knowledge central to that end.

The Institute trains psychotherapists to become
Jungian analysts and maintains a collegial
society to provide continuing education
and ethical review for member analysts. It
offers education and information to other
professionals and the general public and
promotes research about Jungian analysis and
psychotherapy. It maintains the Virginia Allan
Detloff Library and the Archive for Research
in Archetypal Symbolism as educational
resources. Through the James Goodrich
Whitney Clinic, Jungian psychotherapy is
provided on a sliding-scale basis.

The Institute recognizes that the potential
of wholeness and individuation depends on
psychological development that in turn is                              Steve Hargis-Bullen,

Jung Institute of San Francisco supports in
principle efforts that promote universal human
rights.
