what is contemporary psychoanalysis?
Psychoanalysis began with the work of Sigmund Freud but has evolved and changed over the years to incorporate the contributions and work of many. In our complex world, a contemporary form of psychoanalysis is a treatment for emotional discomfort or pain, an avenue for self-discovery and personal growth, and a means toward establishing and enhancing relationships with others and the world at large.
“What makes ICP so unique among other institutions is its emphasis on providing a democratic educational environment.”
“ICP has provided me a community of wonderful, highly regarded colleagues and set me on a learning path that continues to this day.”
“The richness of analytic training, warmth of ICP’s community, and the challenge for me to stretch and grow both professionally and personally were invaluable.”
