A Jungian approach to training emphasises the importance of individuation. Yet, most analytic training takes place in institutions with hierarchical cultures. This edited volume investigates the unconscious forces within training institutions worldwide that can undermine the very values these institutions want to help their candidates to develop. Jungian Training and Being Trained lets in the light on the unconscious forces that shape the training experience of trainees and trainers. It explores and challenges many of the implicit assumptions that influence and fashion the trainings on offer. International contributors, each engaged in the development and delivery of training, examine the various conscious and unconscious beliefs and processes that not only creatively inform, support, and structure the training process, but also undermine or contaminate it.
