Offering Professional Training for Clinicians Interested in Psychoanalysis
The Minnesota Psychoanalytic Institute offers a dynamic opportunity for clinicians interested in expanding and deepening their professional skills and developing their identity as psychoanalysts.
Building on Freud's early discoveries, psychoanalytic theory continues to evolve as an intellectually stimulating and clinically powerful instrument for helping people change. New knowledge from infant observation and research, recent studies in the mind-brain relationship, as well as current psychoanalytic developments enhance the rich curriculum offered by the Institute.
Several main currents within psychoanalysis – the Freudian, Object Relations and Kleinian, Self Psychology, and Relational perspectives – guide the psychoanalytic candidate in helping patients disentangle from painful patterns of living to pursue their own transformative potential and live loving, productive, and vital lives.
The training includes:
- A personal analysis with a Training and Supervising Analyst
- A four-year course of study including continuous case conferences
- Immersion in clinical work through conducting independent psychoanalysis under the guidance of Supervising/Training Analysts.
