Speaking of Jung was created by Laura London in 2015 to explore the work of Carl Gustav (C.G.) Jung. This extensive website contains over 200 pages of information with an accompanying podcast of over 150 episodes exploring the field of Jung’s analytical psychology through in-depth, one-on-one discussions with Jungian analysts. These psychoanalysts undergo many years of post-graduate analytic training with a certified institute of the IAAP and are required to undergo hundreds of hours of personal analysis. Our podcast features interviews with certified Jungian psychoanalysts.
