How to Visit or Use the Resources of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles

The C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles (junginla.org) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in West Los Angeles, and it is open to visitors. You can visit in person to ask questions, spend time in the garden/patio, and browse the Library/Bookstore, or use its online resources, which include some library and bookstore materials, a quarterly magazine, and a Subscription section on the website. The Institute also runs public programs, therapy clinics, and an analyst training program, so what you can access depends on whether you want general resources, events, or clinical/professional services.

Visiting in Person

The Institute explicitly welcomes visitors. According to its homepage, you can:

• Bring questions to the Institute
• Enjoy the garden/patio
• Browse in the Library/Bookstore

The Institute is located in West Los Angeles. This makes it practical to combine a visit with other activities in the area, and to use the Library/Bookstore as a starting point if you want to explore Jung's works and related subjects in person.

Using the Library and Bookstore

The Library/Bookstore carries a broad range of materials on Jung's works and related subjects, including:

• Books
• Articles
• CDs and DVDs

Some of these materials are available online. If you are looking for a specific title or format, the Library/Bookstore is the relevant resource to check, and the online availability noted on the site means you may not need to visit in person for everything.

Online Resources and Subscription

The website includes a Subscription section, which suggests that some content or publications may be available on a subscription basis. The homepage also mentions a quarterly magazine, Psychological Perspectives, and a film series, Remembering Jung. These are the main publication and media offerings described on the site.

If you want to know whether a specific publication or online item requires a subscription, the Subscription page is the place to check. The available information does not state prices or whether access is free, so treat subscription status as something to confirm directly on the site rather than assume.

Public Programs and Events

The Institute offers a broad range of public offerings, including:

• Lectures and seminars
• A quarterly magazine, Psychological Perspectives
• A film series, Remembering Jung

The homepage lists an example of an upcoming public program: "Invisible Threads: A Reading And Book Signing" with Sharon Heath, MA, LMFT, held in person only on Sunday, October 12, 10 AM–12 PM PDT, with a Register link. This shows the typical format: a scheduled event, sometimes in person only, with registration handled through the site.

If you want to attend, check the Upcoming Public Program section for current listings and registration details, since events change over time.

Therapy and Clinical Services

The Institute maintains clinics for adult and child therapy:

• Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic (sliding scale Jungian therapy)
• Hilde Kirsch Children Center

For therapy, the site provides an "Apply for Therapy" path. If you are looking for a therapist rather than applying through the clinic, the homepage also includes a "Find a Psychotherapist" section. These are separate routes: one is for applying to the Institute's clinics, and the other is for locating a psychotherapist.

Analyst Training Program

The Institute offers a program of professional training for Jungian analysts and psychotherapists. The homepage highlights the Analyst Training Program with a "Learn more about training at the Institute" link and a "Become a Jungian Analyst" prompt. This is the relevant path if your interest is professional training rather than public programs or therapy.

Quick Reference

The main practical takeaway: the Institute is set up for both in-person and online use, but the specific access conditions for subscriptions, events, and clinical services are not fully detailed on the homepage, so confirm those directly through the relevant section of junginla.org before relying on them.
