Peter Ammann, Ph.D. | African Roots of Jungian Psychology | Speaking of Jung #57

Zürich-trained Jungian analyst and filmmaker Peter Ammann, Ph.D. joins us from Aarau, Switzerland to discuss his face-to-face meeting with C.G. Jung, his trips to South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana, and the parallels between Jungian psychology and African healers.

Peter Ammann, Ph.D. is a Jungian analyst and filmmaker in Aarau, Switzerland. He currently works as a lecturer, training analyst and supervisor at the International School of Analytical Psychology in Zürich (ISAPZURICH) where he is also in private practice.

After training as a cellist in Paris, he attended the University of Zürich where he earned a Ph.D. in musicology and in the history of religion and ethnology. He wrote his doctoral thesis on the musical theory and philosophy of Robert Fludd.

While in analysis with Jolande Jacobi, Dr. Ammann was encouraged by Jung himself to pursue analytic training. He eventually went on to attend the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich where his training analyst was Marie-Louise von Franz.

He spent four years in Rome working alongside Federico Fellini, and later became an independent filmmaker and collaborator of Télévision Suisse Romande in Geneva and a member of the Swiss Film Board.

His work on Fellini’s film, The Satyricon, is beautifully detailed in an article by Giovanni Sorge titled A Swiss Analyst in Cinecittà: Peter Ammann Speaks of Fellini, Mastorna, Satyricon & Africa in Vol. 25:3 of the San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal.

Inspired by the work of Sir Laurens van der Post, whom he met in 1984, Dr. Ammann traveled throughout South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia where he made several documentary films on the Bushmen, including Spirits of the Rocks and Living in Two Worlds: Communication Between a White Healer & Her Black Counterparts.

At the request of psychiatrist and Jungian analyst Vera Bührmann, Dr. Ammann went to South Africa in 1990 to begin giving seminars and lectures at the Jung Centre in Cape Town which he still continues to this day. At the IAAP Congress in 2007, he organized workshops that brought together Jungian psychotherapists and traditional African healers.

In the February 2020 issue of the Journal of Analytical Psychology, a four-part series by Dr. Ammann, two other analysts and an African healer was published entitled, Encountering the other: Jungian analysts and traditional healers in South Africa. Videos of his dialogues in Cape Town are available on the Southern African Association of Jungian Analysts website.
