Long Study Tour
About this tour
Together with Vienna, London, and Paris, Zurich emerged as a central psychoanalytic hub, with the Zurich-based psychoanalytic institutes having contributed significantly to developments in psychological, psychotherapeutic, and psychoanalytic thought. Through a visit to the city, and to organizations which are the keystones of Zurich’s psychoanalytic community, we will gain a deep appreciation for the formative elements of psychotherapeutic treatment.
Learning outcomes
Develop a deeper and more nuanced understanding of Carl Jung’s psychoanalytic theory and psychotherapeutic approach
Develop an understanding of the ways in which the analyst’s developmental history, early family relationships, and sociopolitical context informed his theories
Clarify the links between current psychotherapeutic trends and the influences of original analytic thinking, and engage critically with this
Possible activities
Zurich is the home of the International School of Analytic Psychology, the only full-time psychoanalytic training in Jungian psychoanalysis and psychotherapy internationally. We will visit the organization, and receive a presentation from a longstanding member
Visit Bollingen Tower, a building which Jung himself constructed, and which reveals a great deal about his life, his mental state, and his emotional investments.
Visit Jung’s House Museum to deepen our understanding of his life and his creative work
