Testimonials

The course was extremely useful in providing me with a basic yet comprehensive understanding of psychoanalytic theories, the context in which they originated and the clinicians and theoreticians involved and how they apply to clinical work across the life span. The diverse range of high-calibre speakers offered a broad spectrum of knowledge and clinical expertise covering work with individuals across the life cycle. I left with a richer, broader and more in-depth understanding of psychoanalytic theory which was very useful for the parent-infant psychoanalytic psychotherapy training I went on to undertake with the Anna Freud Centre.

I had read and drawn upon a great deal of psychoanalytic theory prior to undertaking this course. So although interested, I was somewhat sceptical about what it might offer. However this series of carefully constructed lectures provided by a brilliant and diverse set of clinicians and academics provided a rich seam of rich insights into historic and contemporary psychoanalytic theory, some of it hidden or obscured by dominant narratives within the field of psychoanalysis. All lectures were immediately relevant to clinical practice both at the time, and will remain salient always.
