junginla.org

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.

The C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles runs an Analyst Training Program for people who want to train as Jungian analysts, and it also describes a broader program of professional training for Jungian analysts and psychotherapists. The website presents the program as one of the Institute's core activities, alongside its public lectures, quarterly magazine, film series, and therapy clinics. If you are considering this path, the practical starting point is the Institute's "Become a Jungian Analyst" page, which the site links from the Analyst Training Program section.

What the Institute says about the program

The homepage lists Analyst Training Program as a top-level heading, with a link to "Learn more about training at the Institute" and a separate "Become a Jungian Analyst" entry point. That is the extent of the program detail visible on the homepage itself — the site does not publish curriculum, tuition, duration, or admission requirements there.

What the homepage does establish is the intellectual grounding. The Institute describes itself as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located in West Los Angeles, "devoted to and rooted in the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung." It frames Jung's ideas as connected to art, science, spirituality, and psychology, and says that connection is the basis of its public offerings.

Where training sits in the Institute's overall work

The Institute's activities fall into a few distinct buckets, and training is only one of them:

If your interest is in becoming an analyst rather than in receiving therapy or attending lectures, the training program is the relevant track — not the clinics, which are set up for people seeking therapy.

How to get the actual program details

Because the homepage only points to the training pages, the concrete information you need — application steps, coursework, and requirements — has to come from those linked pages:

1. Go to junginla.org.
2. Open the Analyst Training Program section or the Become a Jungian Analyst link.
3. Read the training page for application and curriculum information.
4. If the page leaves gaps, use the Institute's contact channels to ask directly, since it invites visitors to "bring questions."

A reasonable expectation, based on how the Institute describes itself, is that training is oriented around Jungian analytical psychology and its intersections with art, science, and spirituality — but treat any specifics about length, cost, or prerequisites as something to confirm with the Institute, not to assume from the homepage.

A note on cost and access

The site shows a "Subscription" link under a category path, which suggests some content or membership may involve a subscription. It does not state that the Analyst Training Program is free, nor does it publish tuition figures. Do not assume the program is free or open without an application — check the training page or ask the Institute directly.

junginla.org is the website of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located in West Los Angeles. It is rooted in the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung and offers public programs, low-cost therapy clinics, professional analyst training, and a library/bookstore. It is worth browsing if you are looking for Jungian-oriented events, sliding-scale therapy, or analyst training in the Los Angeles area.

What the Institute is

The Institute describes itself as devoted to Jung's ideas and their connection to art, science, spirituality, and psychology. It is a non-profit organization, and its work spans public education, clinical services, and professional training.

Public programs and publications

The Institute runs a range of offerings open to the public:

• Lectures and seminars on Jungian topics
• A quarterly magazine, Psychological Perspectives
• A film series, Remembering Jung
• Special events — for example, an upcoming in-person reading and book signing, "Invisible Threads," with Sharon Heath, MA, LMFT, scheduled for Sunday, October 12, 10 AM–12 PM PDT

These are the main reasons to check the site if you want to attend talks or follow Jungian writing rather than seek therapy or training.

Clinical services

The Institute maintains clinics for adult and child therapy:

• Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic — sliding-scale Jungian therapy
• Hilde Kirsch Children Center — therapy for children

Both use a sliding scale, meaning fees are adjusted based on circumstances. If cost is a concern, this is the part of the site to look at first. The site provides an application path for therapy rather than direct booking.

Professional training and resources

• Analyst Training Program — for those interested in becoming a Jungian analyst
• Library and bookstore — carrying books, articles, CDs, and DVDs on Jung's works and related subjects, with some materials available online

The training program is the relevant entry point if you are a clinician considering Jungian analytic training.

Is it worth visiting?

The site also notes a "Subscription" category, which suggests some content or publications may involve a subscription; the available information does not specify terms, so check the site directly if that matters to you.

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.

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.

The C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles (junginla.org) offers two main paths: use Find a Psychotherapist to locate a Jungian-oriented therapist, or apply for low-cost therapy through its clinics — the Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic (adults) and the Hilde Kirsch Children Center (children). Both clinics use a sliding scale, and you start by submitting an Apply for Therapy request. The Institute is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located in West Los Angeles.

Two ways to get started

Finding a psychotherapist

If you already know you want to work with someone in private practice, start with Find a Psychotherapist. This is the Institute's entry point for connecting with a Jungian-oriented therapist rather than applying to a clinic.

• Use it when you want to choose your own therapist and arrange sessions directly.
• Use the clinics instead when cost is a barrier — that's what the sliding scale is for.

Applying for sliding-scale therapy

The sliding-scale clinics are the reason many people come to this site. The flow is:

1. Go to Apply for Therapy.
2. Indicate whether you're seeking adult therapy (Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic) or child therapy (Hilde Kirsch Children Center).
3. Submit the application and wait to be contacted about next steps and fee level.

What to expect: the sliding scale means your fee is set according to your circumstances rather than a fixed published rate. The site does not publish specific fee amounts, so don't assume a number in advance — that gets worked out through the application process.

Before you apply: what's useful to know

• Location: the Institute is in West Los Angeles. If you're local, you can also visit in person, use the library and bookstore, and attend public programs.
• Not just therapy: the Institute runs lectures, seminars, a quarterly magazine (Psychological Perspectives), and a film series (Remembering Jung). If you're curious about Jungian ideas before committing to therapy, these are lower-commitment ways in.
• It's a non-profit: the Institute is a 501(c)(3) organization rooted in the work of Carl Gustav Jung, which is why it can offer sliding-scale clinics alongside its training and public programs.

Common questions

Do I need to be in Los Angeles? The Institute is based in West Los Angeles. The site doesn't state whether the clinics or the therapist directory serve remote clients, so if you're outside the area, ask directly when you apply or inquire.

Is therapy free? No — the model is sliding scale, not free. The site doesn't publish fee figures, so treat the fee as something to confirm during the application process.

What if I want to become an analyst rather than find one? That's a separate path: the Analyst Training Program, with its own "Become a Jungian Analyst" information. It's not the route for seeking therapy.

Where do I actually click? Start from the homepage and look for Find a Psychotherapist (to locate a therapist) or Apply for Therapy (to enter a clinic). The clinic names — Kieffer E. Frantz Clinic and Hilde Kirsch Children Center — appear alongside the sliding-scale therapy section.
