Training requirements
(This is an overview – important details may be found in the Training Manual, which is available to Training Candidates):

I. Pre-propaedeuticum stage of training and propaedeuticum:

This period of training is in preparation for the propaedeuticum. It is a minimum of two years. Upon admission, the new training candidate is given a reading list, which should be consulted throughout training. Classes and other requirements will not cover all of the reading that is expected during the training process.

1. Training candidate chooses one mentor, who works with him/her throughout this first period of training. They will meet for at least one hour every other month. For details of the role of the mentor, see the Training Manual.
2. Attendance at the institute’s study groups is recommended during this period.
3. Attendance at the institute’s case seminars is required during this period. These seminars include practical discussions of psychological processes, such as transference and counter-transference, projection and activation of complexes, relationships between personal and archetypal dimensions of the psyche.
4. Training candidate will continue personal analysis throughout this period. A total of 300 hours of analysis is required for graduation.
5. Three papers are required during this period: a word association experiment paper, a fairy tale interpretation paper, and one of the following three: a myth interpretation, a religious motif interpretation, a symbol paper.
6. It is recommended that pre-control candidates who are seeing clients have analytic case consultations on a regular basis.

II. Propaedeuticum exams:
Exams are held twice a year, when needed, on the fourth weekends of October and May (unless the weekend is otherwise specified). Training candidates may choose to take all exams during one semester (provided enough analysts are available), or the exams may be divided between two consecutive semesters. If an exam is failed, it may be re-taken no sooner than in five to six months.

All propaedeuticum exams are oral, administered by four analysts (three active and one observer). One chair of each exam will be chosen by the candidate.

There are seven exams: 1) Dream Interpretation, 2) Fairy tales, 3) Mythology and Religious motifs, 4) Complexes and psychopathology, 5) History of Jungian Psychology, 6) Structure of the Psyche, and 7) Picture Interpretation.

III. Control stage of training and final exams:
This period of training is in preparation for analytic practice. It begins when the candidate has passed all propaedeuticum exams. It is a minimum of two years.

Attendance at all case seminars is required during this period.

• Training candidate will work with two analyst tutors who will read and evaluate a paper on alchemy.
• Training candidate will prepare and present a talk or performance of some kind to the community of analysts and candidates.

This presentation will not be evaluated or graded.
