Procedure of the UJA Training Program

The training program is oriented towards the possibility of training an analyst over a period of 5 to 10 years and consists of several stages.

At the first stage, emphasis is placed on mastering theoretical material and studying approaches to symbolic thinking and the symbolic process. This stage ends with the intermediate exam, but not earlier than two years after the start of the training.

At the second stage, a minimum of three years of study is required, where the emphasis shifts to clinical application and integration of theoretical material. The stage ends with the final exam.

Overall, the training program will consist of three main components:

<>continuous personal analysis, which supports the candidate's maturation and helps establish a strong connection with the individual unconscious and increase self-awareness;
• acquiring a sufficient theoretical body of knowledge necessary for the effective work of a Jungian analyst;
• regular supervision of the candidate's analytical work with patients and analysands.

Training is conducted in the form of: group supervisions, lectures, clinical seminars monthly, with a break for summer and winter holidays.

To undergo training, candidates are grouped into groups of 4-6 people; the number of groups is determined by the availability of supervisors (2-3 per 1 group). Program participants undergo group supervisions with two to three supervisors, each leading an ongoing case.

Attendance. Attendance at lectures, seminars, and group supervisions of the program is mandatory throughout the entire training period. Absences may lead to the loss of "candidate" status by decision of the "Subcommittee for Education" and the TC. Upon admission to the training, a new candidate is given a reading list recommended for independent study throughout the training.

During the training process, the candidate, along with the experience of personal analysis, acquires the following skills:

1. the ability to facilitate the individuation process in the patient;
2. the ability to create a safe analytical space that facilitates the development and expression of the analysand's symbolic world;
3. the ability to apply the theoretical-empirical integration of analytical psychology in practice, i.e., analysis, deep understanding of phenomena such as transference, countertransference, the transcendent function, and others.

Throughout the training program, candidates must be in regular personal analysis and receive at least 240 hours of analysis during the training period with one analyst. The recommended frequency of analytical sessions is twice a week, but not less than once a week. The use of remote forms using modern telecommunications means is permitted during training. The scope of distance learning is based on IAAP recommendations, developed and approved by the Training Committee.

Expulsion of a Candidate from Training

The candidate must comply with all requirements and regulations of the TC regarding training. Failure to comply with these requirements leads to the loss of "candidate" status. The TC reserves the right to terminate a candidate's training at any stage.

Reasons for loss of "candidate" status may include:

• the candidate does not undergo personal analysis;
• group supervisions are terminated due to the candidate losing their practice;
• based on consistently negative feedback from supervisors;
• the candidate has absences from group work forms without a valid reason (more than 30% per academic year);
• the candidate violates timely tuition payments or in cases of non-payment.

To regain candidate status, it is necessary to re-submit documents for a screening interview.

Academic Leave

A candidate has the right to take academic leave for one year due to a valid reason (illness, maternity leave, childcare, etc.), documented, with the possibility of a one-time renewal for a year upon application. The term of academic leave cannot exceed 2 consecutive years and is included in the total duration of study (10 years).

Intermediate Exam

1. Permission to take the exam is considered by the "Subcommittee for Education" of the TC upon receipt of an application from the candidate regarding their readiness for the intermediate exam and is granted by the "Subcommittee for Education" of the TC if the following requirements within the program are met:
   1. at least two years from admission to the program;
   2. at least 120 hours of personal analysis with an IAAP analyst obtained within the program;
   3. at least 100 hours of group supervisions with UJA supervisors holding IAAP supervisor status from the moment of admission to the training and obtained within the program;
   4. a written paper of 10-12 pages (line spacing – 1.5, font size – 12, font "Times New Roman") providing a theoretical analysis of a chosen Jungian concept and its clinical illustration, which must be sent to the TC Secretary no later than 2 months before the scheduled exam date;
   5. supervisors' report and recommendations for the exam.
2. The intermediate exam is a paid consulting service. Payment is made by transfer to the card of the TC Treasurer. The payment is equivalent to 500 Swiss francs. The fee for the intermediate exam is non-refundable regardless of the outcome.
3. Preparation for the exam requires:
   1. The "Annual Evaluation Report" filled out by the supervisor (Appendix 5).
   2. The "Annual Self-Assessment Form" filled out by the candidate (Appendix 7).
   3. Confirmation of analysis and supervision hours – completed "Candidate's Analytical Training Record Form" (Appendix 7a).
   4. A written paper.
   5. Confirmation of payment for the exam.

If these requirements are not met, the candidate cannot be admitted to the intermediate exam.

The intermediate exam is conducted by an examination commission of 2-3 UJA analysts (appointed by the TC) and a representative from IAAP who are neither supervisors nor analysts of this candidate. It is desirable that at least one of them conducted the candidate's screening interview for the program. The exam is oral, lasting about two hours with interpretation. It is based on the examinee's written paper, reflecting an understanding of the basic concepts of analytical psychology and their clinical application. The exam can be retaken no earlier than after one year. After passing the intermediate exam, the candidate must receive regular individual supervisions, along with group ones.

Final Exam

Right to Join the UJA

The training program entitles one to join the UJA. After passing the final exam, the candidate receives the status of "candidate who has completed the training" until the moment they submit an application for admission to the UJA and a positive vote on their candidacy at the General Meeting of the UJA (GM of the IAAP).
