Research
The work of Carl Gustav Jung began with empirical research: He became internationally known with the empirical results from the Word Association Test. In the context of these experiments, he developed his theory of emotional complexes, which became a central building block of his Analytical Psychology.
In the following decades, an internationally broad-based research culture of Analytical Psychology developed, which is also reflected in the culture and teaching of today's C. G. Jung Institute Zurich. Thus, the Research Commission cultivates the research culture at the C. G. Jung Institute Zurich and organizes events on research methods and results.
In addition to the long-standing tradition of a "Research Colloquium", the findings of psychotherapy research and their implications for practice are regularly communicated and discussed in events organized by the Institute. Each semester, for example, a research (half)day or science (half)day is held with in-house and external speakers, at which current research findings and their relevance for psychotherapy are discussed. In addition, lectures/seminars on statistical-methodological as well as clinical issues are offered.
In order to promote a lively exchange on research topics, a "Zoom Research interest group” has been established: It plans short-term online meetings for students and instructors on current research topics. Accredited staff and students are invited to these meetings (in German and English) by the Research Commission by circular email. Participation is free of charge and is confirmed as continuing education.
