Speaking of Jung was created by Laura London in 2015 to explore the work of Jungian psychoanalysts—professionals who have trained at and graduated from institutes certified by the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP), the official organization that sustains and promotes the work of Carl Gustav (C.G.) Jung. This comprehensive website features over 200 pages of information and an accompanying podcast with more than 170 episodes, offering in-depth, one-on-one discussions with certified Jungian Analysts. These psychoanalysts complete many years of post-graduate analytic training at IAAP-accredited institutes and undergo hundreds of hours of personal analysis. Speaking of Jung highlights their insights, experiences, and contributions to the field of analytical psychology.
