Explorations: Principles of the Psychodynamic Therapies

Many beginning therapists are uncertain about embarking on a full course of post-degree training. At the same time many feel the need for more depth of understanding than they can expect from on-the-job supervision. Our program is aimed at providing courses that meet your varied professional needs and open doors to explore your ambitions.

This new one-year program will expose you to a broad range of practical courses founded on clinical theories that guide today's therapeutic work. Those interested in having a better understanding of concepts as well as opportunities to reflect on real situations encountered by therapists will enjoy the class format that focuses on material drawn from experience.

Acceptance is open to graduate degree holders on a rolling basis. You can expect an introductory telephone call once your application and registration fee is received to confirm your place.

Come enjoy advanced learning with colleagues!
