Introductory Course to the Foundations of Analytical Psychology

Our two-term Introductory Course to the Foundations of Analytical Psychology provides an introduction to the life and work of Carl Gustav Jung. Over 20 seminars, it offers a basic overview of 20 key analytic concepts from the Classical School of Jungian psychology that conveys Jung’s unique contribution to the understanding of the psyche, particularly the interface between analytical psychology and spirituality.

The Introductory Course 2025 consists of a talk/presentation given by a Member of the Guild of Analytical Psychologists (GAP), followed by a question and answer session, and group discussion to explore the topic in more depth and to connect with it on a personal level. A general reading list will be provided and each seminar will have a recommended further reading list should you wish to pursue your interest in the topic further.
