About the Program
Take Your Psychoanalytic Thinking Further
Clinical Journeys 2 builds on the foundation of Clinical Journeys 1, offering a deeper exploration of how psychoanalytic theories and techniques have developed over time.
Through PPSC's Evolution of Technique course, you'll join current psychoanalytic candidates to examine the ideas, debates, and clinical experiences that have shaped contemporary psychoanalytic practice.
Seminars connect theoretical perspectives with everyday clinical work, encouraging thoughtful discussion and greater flexibility in how you understand and approach your patients.
What You’ll Study
Each trimester examines a different aspect of psychoanalytic clinical work, moving from the therapist's experience to the therapeutic relationship and broader clinical understanding.
The Origins and Evolution of Technique
Trace the development of psychoanalytic methods and explore how different theories have influenced and challenged one another.
Expanding the Scope of Psychoanalysis
Examine how evolving clinical realities, ethical considerations, and social perspectives have broadened psychoanalytic thinking about who can benefit from treatment and how.
Contemporary Clinical Approaches
Explore how these developments have shaped different schools of psychoanalytic thought and consider their applications to your own clinical practice
