About the Analyst Training Programme

The ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS (OAJA) is a non-profit corporation devoted to furthering an understanding of analytical psychology as developed by C.G. Jung. OAJA was admitted to group membership in the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) at the Eleventh International Congress of the IAAP in 1989. Group membership authorizes OAJA to train acceptable candidates to become Jungian analysts, who subsequently are accredited by the IAAP.
Applications for admission to the programme in September 2012 will be accepted until January 1, 2012. Early application is advised.
The length of the OAJA training programme is a minimum of eight semesters, in two stages. Stage One (minimum four semesters) will offer instruction designed to prepare candidates for examinations prior to advancing to Stage Two. Stage Two (minimum four semesters) will provide for continuing instruction, client work, case supervision, and case colloquia.
Upon successful completion of the programme, a Diploma in Analytical Psychology will be awarded, certifying that the recipient is deemed capable of working as a Jungian analyst. After the graduate has submited an application for membership to the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts and it has been approved, membership in the International Association for Analytical Psychology is conferred.
Overall, the training programme will be comprised of three major components:

1. On-going personal analysis, the indispensable core of training, which supports the candidate's maturation and facilitates the individual's relationship with the psyche;
2. The acquisition of a comprehensive body of theoretical and academic subject matter which is necessary to work effectively as a Jungian analyst;
3. Supervision of the candidate's analytic and therapeutic work with clients.
