C. G. JUNG INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO (CSJA)
The last year has marked a period of development and change for the Institute. In
September two new analysts, Lorna Crowl and Gregory Dray graduated from the
Analyst Training Program and were welcomed into the Chicago Society of Jungian
Analysts. Earlier in the year the second cohort of the Institute’s Clinical Training
Program graduated, and a new class of was admitted to the two-year program. The
other major development in the area of training was a decision on the part of the
Society membership to move the Analyst Training Program to a weekend model,
meeting once a month rather than the current weekly meeting. This decision was
taken after an extensive review of the current program and an assessment of
attitudes toward the new program.
The Institute also completely rebuilt its web site under the direction of Gus Cwik,
allowing the members of the Institute to easily post courses and other information. An
interactive search tool allows individuals to locate analysts in their geographic area,
or with special qualifications suited to their needs. The web site also upgrades the
Institute’s ability to provide recordings of lectures given at the Institute, and we look
forward in the near future to providing MP-3 downloads of lectures. We welcome
visitors to the site: www.jungchicago.org.
The Institute continued to host major lectures by Jungian analysts, this year including
Murray Stein, Sylvia Perera and Donald Kalsched. Analysts from Chicago have also
lectured at a variety of conferences and meetings, both in the US and in Europe.
Several members of the Institute have published papers in the Journal of Analytical
Psychology or other journals.
