TYPOLOGY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRITY
"
The whole idea of Centerpoint excites me. To my knowledge, it is the only place in which to study Jung on a regular basis outside an academic setting, an institute, or in training."
Dr. Thomas Lavin,
Founding member, C. G. Jung Institute in Chicago
The Educational Center, providing research, training and resources for transformational learning since 1941, publishes Centerpoint and The Bible Workbench, a weekly adult study that opens the lectionary passage to fresh insights.

About Centerpoint
The unconscious has a language and a nature of its own. The Centerpoint Series opens this world to those who search for the meaning of their lives and for values rooted in something richer than the dictates of the current culture. Its written works, self-guided courses and newsletters bring the wisdom of the inner world into dialogue with the reality of the outer world. The Series draws from the insights of C. G. Jung, Joseph Campbell, and generations of respected Jungian analysts. More about Centerpoint

Basic Course: Centerpoint I
Centerpoint I provides an expansive foundation of Jungian or Analytical Psychology in 18 sessions. The course explores Jung’s primary concepts—individuation, ego, persona, shadow, anima and animus, psychological types, dreams and mythology—in considerable depth. For example, “persona” is defined in excerpts from The Collected Works of C. G. Jung and amplified in the reflections of four noted Jungian authors, the tale of “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” an the mystery of “Abu Kasem’s Slippers.” Comprised of 18 sessions, the course is recorded on nine CDs. The 230-page manual includes a glossary, diagram and descriptions of the Psyche, and complete transcripts.

Short Courses:
Vantage Point courses are short (5-7 sessions), and build on a knowledge of basic Jungian concepts to explore dimensions of the personality, the imagery of mythology and religion, the world of dreams, and the dynamic relationship between consciousness and the unconscious. The content of each course is recorded on three compact discs and transcribed in a manual that includes suggested breaks and questions that stimulate critical thinking, reflection and dialogue with the concepts.

"The Centerpoint program is a portal of entry into the ideas of C. G. Jung.
When people gather to listen and learn, they invariably find themselves with
other kindred souls."
- Jean Shinoda Bolen, author of The Tao of Psychology and Goddesses in Every Woman
