Seminar in Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy for Clinicians

The Extension Division of the Psychoanalytic Institute/Society of New England, East (PINE/PSNE) provides seminars in contemporary psychoanalysis and psychotherapy for clinicians who want to deepen their working knowledge of psychoanalytic concepts. The seminars combine a didactic and clinical focus. They are taught by recognized PINE faculty and candidates in the spirit of collaborative inquiry that characterizes PINE.

The format of the seminars provides immersion in a working group that also plays an important role in continuing professional development. All teaching is clinically based and designed to integrate traditional and contemporary psychoanalytic thinking with current clinical practice. Each session combines reading, clinical illustration and discussion.

The educational goal of the Boston-area program is to develop a fuller understanding of analytic theory and an appreciation of the various applications of psychoanalytic concepts in practice today.
