Whether you are completely new to psychoanalysis, or you wish to deepen the knowledge you already have, the Introductory Lectures will help you discover key psychoanalytic concepts and how they apply in the consulting room and beyond.

You'll hear from psychoanalysts at the forefront of psychoanalytic practice, including those who have trained, taught and supervised at leading universities and treatment centres like the Tavistock Clinic, The Portman Clinic and the Maudsley Hospital.

These lectures will last for approximately one hour and will cover a variety of topics. You'll have the opportunity to ask the lecturer questions during the Q&A session.

Following the lecture, there will be a short break before we move into smaller discussion groups. These groups, lasting 40 minutes, provide the setting for collaborative exploration and deepen your understanding of the lecture's themes. You'll stay in the same discussion group throughout the term, fostering a supportive environment where you can delve into the topic together. We are offering an AM seminar group and recordings of most lectures for those who cannot attend on Wednesdays. (AM seminar group spaces are limited, please choose that option when completing the registration form by clicking 'register now')

Reading material  - PEP Subscription
We will provide you with a comprehensive reading list with core and additional reading references for each lecture, that will allow you to expand your knowledge beyond the lectures. The reading material can be accessed via PEP web (Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing Web) which is a subscription-based online collection of current and past psychoanalytic journals and papers. You will need to have an account to access the readings which you can purchase at a discounted rate when you book your ticket. 

Join us for a stimulating series of lectures, discussions, and personal growth.
