What C G Jung Institute Of La does

The C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in the 1940s by James Kirsch, Hilde Kirsch, and Max Zeller (refugees from Nazi Germany), and is housed at 10349 West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles. It is dedicated to the study, clinical practice, and dissemination of Jungian analytical psychology, operating a portfolio of services structured around three pillars: (1) professional training, including the IAAP-certified Analyst Training Program (tuition $5,075/year for Preparatory/Candidacy stages; $3,075/year for Control stage), an unpaid Internship Program for graduate-level trainees, the Jungian Sandplay Training Program 2025-2027 (six units at $540 each), and the Jungian Psychology in Clinical Practice Certificate Program 2026-2027 ($2,000 full tuition with installment options); (2) clinical services via the Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic (the first low-fee clinic in the world to offer Jungian analysis, providing adult and couples therapy on a sliding scale) and the Hilde Kirsch Children's Center (the first and only Jungian Children's Center in the United States, providing pediatric depth therapy); and (3) public education and content assets, including lectures, seminars, workshops, the quarterly Psychological Perspectives journal, the Remembering Jung film series, the ARAS branch archive, and the Max and Lore Zeller Library and online bookstore.

The Institute does not operate proprietary technology platforms; its distribution channels are direct in-person delivery at the Los Angeles facility, online Zoom/hybrid delivery for public programs, and an e-commerce bookstore. It is accredited as a continuing-education provider by the American Psychological Association, the California Board of Registered Nursing, the California Psychological Association OPD, and NBCC (ACEP No. 7872); the Frantz Clinic is licensed by the California Department of Health Services. Its revenue model is a blend of subscription-style recurring tuition (training and certificate programs), pay-as-you-go fees (sandplay units, clinical sliding-scale payments), and transaction-based bookstore/journal sales. With 27 employees, the organization serves an individual-consumer base spanning licensed mental health professionals in training, adults and children seeking Jungian psychotherapy, and general-public attendees of educational events, with no enterprise B2B accounts and no external investors, operating under a Board of Directors and various admissions and certifying committees within the IAAP global network of 58 member institutes.

Broad incumbents

• Naropa University: Accredited contemplative education university offering clinical mental health counseling and somatic psychology programs. Comparable as a non-traditional, values-driven training institution, though not Jungian-specific.
• Austen Riggs Center: Residential psychiatric treatment facility and psychotherapy training center with a psychodynamic orientation. Comparable in mission and clinical training ethos, though operating a much larger inpatient model.
• Pacifica Graduate Institute: Graduate institution offering depth-psychology and Jungian-oriented master's and doctoral programs with clinical training components. Overlaps with the Institute's training mission but is a much larger accredited degree-granting institution with broader clinical psychology offerings.
• William Alanson White Institute: Psychoanalytic training institute offering clinical services, continuing education, and psychodynamic training programs in New York. Comparable as a psychoanalytic/psychodynamic training and clinical services institution, though with a Freudian rather than Jungian orientation.
• California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS): Accredited graduate school in San Francisco offering East-West psychology, clinical psychology, and counseling programs with depth-psychology orientations. Comparable on training programs and continuing education, but operates as a broader degree-granting institution.

• C.G.
