Hello Colleagues,
This
is a reminder to encourage colleagues, patients, and friends who are
interested in knowing more about a psychoanalytic approach to therapy,
to work, and to life to join a group in reading and discussing the
literature in the relatively new, and very popular, Fundamental
Psychoanalytic Perspectives Program (FPP).
All
our classes are taught by analysts from our Institute, and cover a wide
range of topics in 24 weekly Thursday evening seminars. Freud is read
in the original, and there are classes on object relations, self
psychology, depression, anxiety, the defenses, and attachment theory, to
name a few. It is the perfect way to get an introduction to these
theories of psychoanalysis.
Since
this is not a training program, classes usually consist of an
interesting mix of professions: clinical people (about 50%), lawyers,
artists, computer people, and academics, which makes for extremely
lively, open, and interesting discussion. The educational requirement
for entry into the Program is a Masters degree, or other professional
degree. Personal therapy is, of course, an asset. All applicants will
be interviewed by a member of the Committee.
The starting date for the new class will be Thursday, September 12th, 2013. Applications are due by May 31st, and are either downloadable from our website (www.torontopsychoanalysis.com) or can be obtained by calling Maria at 416-922-7770.
The
FPP meets the accreditation criteria of the College of Family
Physicians and has been accredited for 48 Main-Pro MI credits. It has
been recognized under Section One of the Framework for Maintenance of
Certification of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
Application fee: $150.00; Tuition fee: $1500.00.
We have had consistently positive reviews from class members for this Program—as it provides an enjoyable learning experience.
The Committee:
Les Fleischer, PhD; Jan Malat, MD; Doug Ramsay, MD; Pamela Stewart, MD;
Sharian Sadavoy, MSW; Sarah Usher,PhD (Director); Klaus Weidermann,
PhD.
