Classical and Contemporary Perspectives
Membership is open to graduates of CFPS psychoanalysis and psychotherapy training programs, current candidates and trainees, and faculty members. Other clinicians may attend Alumni programs at the non-member rate.
CONNECT, LEARN, AND EARN CEU/CME'S
The Alumni Group's program theme for 2021-2022 is Mourning, Melancholia, and Loss: Classical and Contemporary Perspectives. During each Round Table meeting, participants will discuss approximately 3 journal articles. They include classical and contemporary papers with theoretical, developmental, and clinical emphases. The program is like a course, but you can choose which meetings to attend. The discussions will be facilitated by psychoanalysts and psychodynamic psychotherapists who have publications, clinical experience, and/or special interest in the topic.
Round Table Discussion Meetings are scheduled once or twice per month from August 2021 through May 2022 for a total of 13. The group will meet from 11:30 AM until 1:00 PM CST, through video sessions only. Log-in information will only be sent to those who register at least two hours before each session.
There are 5 special events (film screening, 2 lectures, panel discussion, and conference) related to our theme. Click here for special event information.
