Training

We offer certification training in the application of Jung’s original psychological types. The training reviews the many practical applications of Jung’s type model and its usefulness for the personal growth that Jung termed individuation – the fuller development of unique personality. The training is divided into two parts.  

Part I : Life Atlas Consultant Certification

Part I, Life Atlas Consultant Certification, considers more practical applications and is ideal for those interested in coaching, counseling, and consulting. 

Join our interactive certification training to delve into Jung’s original 8 psychological types. We explore their application for the personal growth that Jung called individuation—the journey towards realizing one’s unique personality. Our training is conducted in groups designed to enrich your professional and personal growth regardless, of your background. 

What you can expect to gain: 

  • In-depth knowledge of Jung’s theory of psychological types 
  • In-depth understanding of the “hero’s journey” to self-actualization, or what Jung called “individuation.”
  • Strategies to fully engage one’s best gifts in life
  • Practical insights into better understanding yourself and others 
  • Networking opportunities with like-minded individuals
  • Continuing education for your professional resume
  • Full personal access and discounted professional access to all the instruments at Life Atlas

The Training

The course begins with an illuminating overview of Jung’s larger model of Analytical Psychology, considering the role of psychological types in that model. Subsequent sessions closely examine each of the eight type orientations, unveiling their significant collaborative potential.

We consider the dynamic interplay among the eight types, discovering new layers of insight and understanding. Through engaging practicums, you’ll learn to “read the melody” of various dynamic combinations, unlocking profound insights into individual life stories.

  • Eight interactive sessions and four small group meetups build a thorough understanding of type dynamics. 
  • Pre-recorded lectures support lively and engaging dialogue in the online sessions.
  • Type dispositions and the journey of individuation come to life through five captivating films.

The Course CurriculumClose
Gifts Compass has the outstanding merit of staying close to Jung’s original intention of linking psychological type theory to the individuation process. It is a brilliant contribution to the field of typological theory and practice. Of all the attempts to apply psychological type theory to models of counseling and coaching, this is by far the best.
Murray SteinPh.D., Diplomate Jungian Analyst, Switzerland/U.S. Author of Jung’s Map of the Soul, former President of the International Association of Analytical Psychology, former President of the International School of Analytical Psychology.
Gifts Compass provides a highly developed and theoretically well-founded tool that allows for an understanding of typology which is far more accurate than other typology models. The Gifts Compass Inventory is comprehensively based on Jung’s writings and follows his psychological understanding of inner and outer characteristics, which implies a necessary understanding of often contradictory preferences. Especially the link to Jung’s theories of the individuation process provides a dynamic model which is highly useful when considering developmental processes.
Misser BergVice-President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology. Director of Training at the C.G. Jung Institute, Copenhagen.
Having both helped to edit Jung’s Indispensable Compass and used the Gifts Compass Inventory in my analytical practice, I fully appreciate the sincerity and rigor with which James Johnston has stayed as true as possible to Jung’s intentions and the help this offers my analysands in deepening their understanding of the individuation process
Andrew FellowsDiplomate Jungian Analyst, Switzerland, UK. Curriculum Director at ISAPZurich. Author of GAIA, Psyche and Deep Ecology: Navigating Climate Change in the Anthropocene.
The reading and lectures have helped me appreciate how clearly Jung wrote about the unfolding, individuating personality at the centre of his psychic model, and that the psychological types and functions are key to its exploration. . . As someone who does not enjoy the purely conceptual, watching film and discussing it with a group, has enlivened the training and made it so much more fun for me than pure guided reading.
Joanna MurphyMD, UK. Training Candidate, C. G. Jung Institute, Zurich
The elaboration of typology resolves a lot of the problems my colleagues and I had in trying to apply it. I loved sessions 5 and 6, as well as the Reading the Melody practicums. They're great! This is the first time that I feel I understand Jung's model.
Mira KhazzamDiplomate Jungian Analyst, Canada. International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP)
. . . describes the essence of each of the eight types, clarifies some misconceptions of most post Jungian interpretations, and contributes with new insights for a better comprehension and application of typology . . . . The training revolutionized the way I work with typology and its importance on my research and practice.
Pedro MendesDiplomate Jungian Analyst, Portugal/Switzerland. International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP)
The GCI is a powerful instrument both in assessment and treatment. It is a dynamic tool and one can take the GCI along the analytical journey to see changes within the psyche and also in relationships in the outer world.
Gunilla MidbøeDiplomate Jungian Analyst, Sweden. International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP)
A creative, insightful and stimulating experiential training to Jung’s typological model for novices in this area (like myself) or experienced professional.
PsychD Counseling and Psychotherapeutic Psychology
