ABSTRACT
Jungian thought and the clinical tradition of Analytical Psychology have been present in Brazil since the country’s first psychology courses were taught in the early 1950s. Over time, Jungian psychology secured its place within academia, beginning with areas of teaching from group study and basic university training to today’s post-graduate courses in various research fields. Analytical Psychology arrived in Brazilian universities through general Studies about Personality course programs at a time when few had been exposed to Jungian ideas in specific context. Analytical Psychology is taught in a number of Brazilian schools, principally in graduate programs in Psychology, Education, Philosophy and Medicine. Political and educational themes are the subject of debates with respect to Analytical Psychology. Several university centres have also been gradually introducing Analytical Psychology into their curricula, in large part due to student demand and the popularity of C. G. Jung in the media.
