The clinical component of our programming consists of committed, core consultation groups of 15-20 clinicians, facilitated by Satya Doyle Byock and occasional guest experts.

These groups explore individual clinical cases through a Jungian lens. Some areas of emphasis may include: integrating symbolic thinking into sessions, clients’ dreams and dreams of clients, issues of transference and countertransference.

The focus is on fostering an ongoing mastery and internalization of a Jungian approach, regardless of each person’s originating knowledge base. The learning will be immersive and embodied, versus purely conceptual.

Some specific topics for clinical sessions may also include:

• The clinical relationship from a Jungian (as opposed to Freudian/ psychoanalytic) perspective. Presence, attunement, and creative expression.

• Incorporating Western medical psychological diagnosis into a Jungian frame.

• Holding a safe container, boundaries, money + payment, scheduling, and cancellations.

Discussions between group members will be facilitated via an entirely private online platform. Each clinical group will have its own dedicated space for confidential sharing.

Further one-on-one consultation will be available with Satya at a significant discount off her standard consultation fee throughout the length of the training.

Schedule:

Sessions are every other week (twice monthly) at a consistent time for each cohort. Each meeting is 120 minutes (2 hours).

All participants will gain a Certificate in Analytical Psychology for ongoing professional development, along with 40 CEUs from The Salome Institute.

This immersive program offers an in-depth understanding of Analytical (Jungian) Psychology for individuals without clinical training, as well as for clinicians seeking to integrate Jungian work into their clinical practice.

Some themes for definition and exploration may include:

• Concepts: Individuation; shadow; persona; ego-Self axis; projection; libido; collective unconscious; personal unconscious; transference + countertransference; anima + animus and an updated awareness of psychological gender / the inner feminine and the inner masculine for all people; understanding of LGBTQ+ perspectives.

• Methods: Dreamwork; active imagination; alchemical psychology; the use of divination and synchronicity in clinical practice.

• Personal application: Money; intimacy; sex; boundaries; addictions; creative life; family; parenting; and relationships.

Programming is rarely elementary, by design. Learning happens progressively and through embodied, personalized understanding, rather than merely intellectualized concepts.

Most lectures will be based on readings, which will be shared in advance.

Individuals at all levels of familiarity with this material are welcome to join.

Throughout the year, we’ll delve into specific stories together—or a segment of a larger, ongoing narrative.

Throughout time and across cultures, storytelling is a profound expression of nature and the collective unconscious. Fairy tales and myths provide entry points into the archetypal layers of the psyche, enhancing our understanding of our shared history, personal story, and the language of dreams.

Esteemed guests will be woven into this part of the curriculum, often invited to select the myth they most want to share with our community.

We will have the opportunity to learn from a wide range of experts, authors, and practitioners in areas of mythology, dreamwork, Jungian psychology, and more.

Further announcements will be made as individuals are confirmed and added to the program.

In addition to our scheduled events, the structure of our programming encourages students to initiate gatherings and small groups on topics such as:

• Dreams

• The Tarot and divination

• The I Ching

• Writing-with-myth

• Men’s work

• Incorporating queer identity into Jungian theory

You may choose to initiate something for classmates to join, or choose from other offerings.

In-person gatherings are also possible, whether for locals in a specific region or to meet up when traveling through a new town.

To join the Clinical program, you must hold a license in counseling, social work, medicine, psychiatry, or a directly related field and be legally able to work with clients psychotherapeutically — OR be a pre-licensed intern/associate under supervision.
