We Are Dedicated To Serve our Community

Simply put, we thrive on making people realize their greatest potential and see the world for how it is rather than how they are.

Although Jung initially designated his system of thought analytical psychology, he changed the name to “complex psychology” in the 1930s. Jung still occasionally referred to his psychology as analytical psychology but this term was later reserved for analytic methods and psychotherapeutic applications. Complex psychology on the other hand addressed the theoretical aspect of his psychology. Jung wrote that “complex psychology means the psychology of ‘complexities,’ i.e., of complex psychical systems in contradistinction from relatively elementary factors” (Jung as cited in Shamdasani, 2003, p. 14). One of the principal reasons the term complex psychology never gained widespread usage was because it was never adopted in the English speaking world, which is and was the biggest proponent of Jung’s psychology.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote an interdisciplinary dialogue and foster a better understanding of C.G. Jung’s theories and ideas to a twenty first century audience made up of both specialists and laypersons alike. All center-sponsored activities address issues and questions of singular importance to contemporary culture.

Philosophy

The Center for Complex Psychology is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to providing community outreach and education to people interested in the body of thought derived from the work of C.G. Jung. In the spirit of promoting and advancing Jung’s ideas, we coordinate monthly to quarterly programs and workshops by both local and nationally known speakers and publish a quarterly newsletter. All of this provided either free or for a small fee.
