   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 12^th, 2013.  Applications are due by May 31^st, 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.
