EnglishWhat Public Programs and Publications Does the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles Offer?
Updated
The C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles (junginla.org) offers public lectures and seminars, a film series, a quarterly magazine, and a library/bookstore, alongside its clinical and training programs. Most public events require advance registration, and some are in-person only. The Institute is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located in West Los Angeles, rooted in the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung.
Public Programs
The Institute describes its public offerings as spanning lectures, seminars, a film series, and other events that connect Jung's ideas to art, science, spirituality, and psychology.
| Program type | What it is | How to take part |
|---|---|---|
| Lectures and seminars | Public talks and educational sessions on Jungian topics | Watch the site's public program listings and register |
| Film series, Remembering Jung | A film series maintained by the Institute | Follow the public program schedule |
| Reading and book signing events | Author events, such as Invisible Threads: A Reading And Book Signing with Sharon Heath, MA, LMFT | Register in advance; this event was listed as in-person only |
Example: Invisible Threads
The site's featured upcoming public program was 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. Registration was handled through a Register link on the page.
Two practical points follow from this example:
- Check the format before you plan. Some events are marked "In Person Only," so there is no remote option for those.
- Register rather than just show up. The event listing routes attendance through registration.
Publications
The Institute's quarterly magazine is Psychological Perspectives. It is listed among the Institute's broad range of public offerings, alongside lectures, seminars, and the film series.
If you want to read rather than attend, the magazine is the main publication channel named on the site. The site does not state a subscription price or access terms on the pages reviewed, so check the magazine's own page for current details before assuming free access.
Library and Bookstore
The Institute maintains a library and bookstore carrying books, articles, CDs, and DVDs on Jung's works and related subjects. Some of these materials are available online.
This is the most flexible option if you cannot attend scheduled events: you can browse the collection, and the online availability means at least part of the material is reachable without visiting in person.
Choosing What Fits Your Interest
- Want a live, scheduled experience? Look at the public program listings and register for a lecture, seminar, or film screening.
- Want something you can read on your own schedule? Start with Psychological Perspectives or the library/bookstore materials.
- Want to visit? The Institute explicitly welcomes visitors to bring questions, enjoy the garden/patio, and browse the Library/Bookstore.
Related Offerings at the Same Organization
The Institute also runs an Analyst Training Program, the Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic for sliding-scale Jungian therapy, the Hilde Kirsch Children Center, and a "Find a Psychotherapist" directory. These are separate from the public programs and publications described above, but they appear on the same site if your interest extends to training or therapy.
