Welcome to the C. G. Jung Institute of Seattle. CGJIS is a member organization of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) and a Jungian Analyst training institute. Our members are all certified Jungian Analysts, located throughout the Pacific Northwest and members of IAAP.

The C. G. Jung Institute of Seattle, formerly known as the North Pacific Institute for Analytical Psychology (NPIAP), is a non-profit organization, which is committed to the study and practice of the experiences and theories developed by Swiss psychiatrist, C. G. Jung (1875-1961) and finds its roots in the depth psychology of C. G. Jung. Jung called his study of the psyche “Analytical Psychology,” which he distinguished from other psychoanalytic traditions, which were emerging during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Jungian analysis concentrates on identifying the healing potentials produced by the merging of unconscious material, instincts and actions into the consciousness of daily life. Jungian psychology draws upon the inspiration available to all human beings. During the course of analysis the individual is supported in finding a path towards a meaningful life, a personal process Jung called Individuation.

Jungian psychology offers a foundation to find joy, to face suffering and to explore the possibilities of bringing greater understanding and meaning into life. Jung’s legacy continues to be a vital part of the fabric of our current culture.
