NPSI Consulation Group: For the Curious Mind
ENROLLMENT FOR THE 2025/26 ACADEMIC YEAR IS NOW CLOSED.
Course Description
Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute is pleased to announce that enrollment is open for a new learning opportunity, in the form of a Consultation Group. This in-person course is designed for licensed mental health professionals interested in psychoanalytic theory and its application to clinical practice. The Consultation Group will consist of five to six members, maintaining a small size to promote an intimate learning experience. The group will focus on clinical work presented by participants and led by rotating NPSI analysts.
Consultation Experience
In this nine-month program of weekly case consultation, participants will have the experience of following clinical material, to deepen their understanding of how analytic concepts such as transference, countertransference, unconscious phantasy, anxieties and defenses are manifested during a session. Our analyst-facilitators will help the group members become increasingly adept at psychoanalytic listening, using reverie, thinking psychoanalytically and making psychoanalytically-informed interventions. For a more immersive experience, this course can be taken along with the Fundamentals of Psychoanalysis course.
Collegial Camaraderie
The course opens the door to connecting with like-minded colleagues and analyst mentors. By joining the NPSI community, participants are welcomed into myriad opportunities for ongoing personal and professional growth.
