NPSI would like to announce the inauguration of two Study Groups: a Recent Grad Study Group, for those a couple to a few years post grad, and for those further along or interested in soon applying for TA status, a TA Study Group, each group emphasizing a space for learning from one’s experience with the other participants, including the facilitators and from oneself. The format will be presentation of clinical cases by participants, in rotation. 

This ‘learning from experience’ is one overarching goal.  As well, for those ultimately interested in applying to become an NPSI TA, this TA Study Group may be considered as partial preparation for taking the clinical evaluation portion of that application.

 

The Study Groups will be open-ended in terms of participation, but for continuity, participants are asked to give at least a 6-month commitment.

 

Minimum number per study group: 3

Maximum number per study group:  6

Our Mission

Our mission is to:

  2. Foster the ongoing professional growth and development of our analyst members, candidates, and community members through rigorous scholarship, mentorship, and collegial exchange;

  3. Advance regional, national, and international understanding of mental life by contributing original thought and research to the evolving field of psychoanalysis; and
