Training Program
Washington Center for Psychoanalysis
Course Overview
This introductory experience is designed to expose clinicians already skilled in psychotherapy or psychoanalytic practice to work deeply with couples and families. It is also an opportunity for those skilled in working with couples and families in other theoretical modalities who want to explore a psychoanalytic approach. Each of the four classes contains a combined group discussion of a pre-circulated paper(s) followed by observing a taped interview of a family and a couple. Even if clinicians only want to focus on working with couples, seeing the projective process in observing a family taped interview strengthens learning for both modalities of therapy. The class size will be limited to foster discussion. Further training opportunities will also be addressed. This is a great opportunity to explore a way to consider expanding one’s expertise and practice.
