| Welcome to the Foundation for International Jungian Psychoanalytical Training in Zurich |
|
|
 The Foundation for International Training (Formally, The Foundation for International Jungian Psychoanalytic Training in Zurich) was created in 2008 by several members of AGAP (Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists, member society of the International Association for Analytical Psychology) in the United States, Canada and Switzerland who wanted a vehicle through which they and others would be able to provide tax-deductible financial support to the full-time, English language Jungian psychoanalytic training in Zurich. This type of training has been an historical tradition in Zurich since 1948, and is maintained today by the International School of Analytical Psychology (ISAPZURICH), the training institute founded by AGAP in 2004.
The foundation is a tax-exempt US Code 501(c)(3) corporation, which makes contributions given by US citizens and residents, and foreign nationals to the extent of their US-generated income, tax deductible.
Full-time Analytical Training
Years
of full-time immersion in Analytical Psychology is a life-changing experience. All AGAP members to date
have experienced this and recall their years in Zurich with fondness and
gratitude – as well as with an occasional flinch for the financial hardships
endured. AGAP, through its training program in Zurich (ISAP) continues to keep
this tradition alive for its full-time candidates as well as for others who
seek professional enhancement or personal fulfillment by exposing themselves to
the richness and depth of its atmosphere for a more limited time.
Zurich
training has never been easy financially for foreign candidates. Now inflation, the decline in the value
of the dollar compared to European currencies, and a general increase in
tension and financial pressures have forced many Americans to consider training
in Zurich an impossibility, or they have had to leave Zurich before graduating.
AGAP’s faculty at ISAP has labored mightily and without complaint to deal with
these difficult economic and planning realities, while at the same time keeping
alive the fire for this unique form of analytic training that many feel greatly
benefits the world of Jungian psychoanalysis worldwide.
Did You Know?
- Training
at ISAPZURICH now costs US$ 5,400 per year in tuition alone, and
training for 5 years (counting tuition, analysis, control, and modest
living expenses) runs to about US$ 80,000. Working in Switzerland
is still generally impossible for foreigners.
- ISAPZURICH
Participants (i.e., training analysts) regularly contribute to training
by teaching for a mere symbolic financial compensation.
- Present
ISAPZURICH quarters are heavily subsidized by a benefactor who will
not be around forever. New and larger, therefore also more
expensive quarters, moreover, may be necessary in the near future.
The
members of this Foundation share the conviction that the type of training and
deep psychological formation offered at ISAPZURICH is even more important today
and for tomorrow than it has been in the past. We are therefore dedicated to making
its continuation possible for many who otherwise could not afford to consider
this option. To this end, we ask for your help in securing the future of ISAPZURICH
for the generations of Jungian psychoanalysts to come in the 21st
Century. Your contributions will directly help international students who
otherwise could not afford to train at ISAPZURICH by making scholarships and
loans available to them and will also assist in providing the resources
(facilities, library, staff) necessary for their adequate training.
