Training
We are pleased to announce two new training initiatives:
The Jungian Process & Experiential Group (JPEG)
A NEW once monthly on-going learning experience programme for past participants of the SAP Foundations in Analytical Psychology course. JPEG group work will provide participants with an opportunity to explore, play and learn from Jungian & post-Jungian concepts in Analytical Psychology.
The SAP Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Training
This twice-weekly training will be informed by Jungian and Post-Jungian theory and practice with an emphasis on contemporary themes and ideas that are relevant to the provision of analytically informed treatments in a variety of clinical settings. It also provides participants with the opportunity to join the SAP Adult Analytic Training via the SAP Escalator Model of Training.
For more information on both these programmes, please contact the Education & Training Administrator (training@thesap.org.uk)
The SAP continues to provide the following forms of training:
- A four-year training in Adult Analysis, requiring an in-depth personal analysis, seminars in Jungian, post-Jungian and psychoanalytic theory and practice, supervision of two analytic cases, clinical presentations and discussions, and a final qualifying paper. On completion of the training the individual becomes a Member of the Society of Analytical Psychology, qualified to practice as a Jungian analyst.
- A one-year course in Supervision, consisting of three terms of talks on the theory and practice of supervision, as well as supervision of supervision in groups or individually; together with an optional written paper the course qualifies the individual for membership of the British Association of Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Supervisors (BAPPS).
- A two-term course in the Foundations of Analytical Psychology, consisting of 20 talks followed by small group discussions. The course provides an excellent introduction to analytical psychology and serves as a good basis for the full training in adult analysis.
- An MA in Jungian and post-Jungian studies, run in conjunction with the University of Essex. This unique course provides an informative, critical and reflective exploration of the core concepts of Analytical Psychology as developed by Jung, post-Jungians and scholars in academic disciplines. The part-time course consists of four elements and requires three 4,000 word essays and a 10,000 word dissertation.
- A Ph.D. programme, run in conjunction with the University of Essex. This requires an in-depth period of study culminating in a 70,000 word dissertation.
- A Professional Doctorate, run in conjunction with the University of Essex and the Tavistock Clinic. This is a two-year part-time programme culminating in a 35,000 word research dissertation.
- Infant Observation seminars are run by Members of the SAP, currently in London and Cambridge. These are an invaluable adjunct to training, giving a unique insight into early infant development (see also Post-Jungian developmental theory)
In the early 1970s the training programme in Child Analysis was established. The programme, having trained SAP Child and Adolescent Analysts for thirty years, is not accepting new trainees for the forseeable future.
