C.G. Jung Institute of Zurich

The C.G. Jung Institute of Zurich was founded in Küsnacht on 24 April 1948 by C.G. Jung and a circle of his closest collaborators — including Jolande Jacobi, C.A. Meier, Liliane Frey-Rohn, and Marie-Louise von Franz — as the institutional vessel for the training of analytical psychologists in what came to be known as the classical tradition of Jungian analysis.

The Institute’s founding program set the curricular shape that has persisted: a foundational study of Jung‘s own Collected Works, a thoroughgoing encounter with mythology, fairy tale, and the history of religions, training in dream analysis and the typology, a personal analysis of substantial duration, and supervised clinical work. Marie-Louise von Franz taught at the Institute for four decades and shaped a generation of classical analysts who carried the tradition into the second half of the twentieth century. The Institute is the principal channel through which the Zurich school of classical Jungian analysis, as distinct from the London developmental school under Fordham, has been transmitted.
