Academy for the Study of the Psychoanalytic Arts

Ann Arbor, MI 48105
Attn: Kate Hitchcock, Ph.D..

WebSite: www.AcademyAnalyticArts.org
E-Mail: AcademyAnalyticArts@yahoo.com

The Academy for the Study of the Psychoanalytic Arts was founded in 1995 in response to the powerful social, political and economic forces forcing psychoanalysis into the mold of a "health-care profession". Ever-increasing regulation and standardization in the health care industry pose serious threats to the privacy and autonomy necessary for independent practice. The Academy has undertaken the project of rethinking psychoanalysis from within a psychological framework of humanistic disciplines including philosophy, the arts and literature and presenting this view of psychoanalysis to the academic, professional and lay communities. The Academy works with other groups interested in the preservation of private and autonomous psychoanalytic practice and publishes a wide variety of papers on its website, www.academyanalyticarts.org; its members present papers and programs in local, national and international forums.

The Autobiographical Dialogue Seminars, founded in 2002, address the professional and life-span development of one’s own voice in the dialogue between analysts. The seminars explore the manner and difficulties in which autobiography (the way we “write” our life) and dialogue (the way we present our case) establish and influence each other, as we experience and reflect -- along the Freudian-Ferenczian continuum -- on theoretical and personal implications for clinical work and conference presentation. A weekend introductory seminar, an advanced seminar, and an open seminar for previous participants are currently offered once a year in Los Angeles. For further information, contact Judith Vida or Gershon Molad.

Psychoanalytic Friendly Universities
We are affiliated with Division 39 (Psychoanalysis) of the American Psychological Association. Founded in 1985, our mission is to provide a forum for the discussion of various trends in psychoanalysis, and to promote the application of psychoanalytic theory to a wide variety of areas (including, but not limited to, anthropology, history, literature, and religion). The Open Chapter strives to provide a democratic and egalitarian atmosphere for the exchange of ideas. Hence, although the organization sponsors presentations by nationally and locally recognized analysts, it does not view psychoanalysis as the sole domain of mental health professionals. As its name implies, the Open Chapter is truly "open", in that it encourages the application of psychoanalytic inquiry to the work being done by other disciplines.

In May of 2008, as part of the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of Quebec City, Gifric's psychoanalysts,well known for their unique contribution to the treatment of psychoses which they have developed over the last 25 years, invite the community of care providers and research scientists in the field of mental health to a discussion on the theme of "What Can Psychotics Hope For Today?" Both in English and in French, conferences and presentation sessions (workshops) will take place on May 20th, 21st and 22nd. This Three Day Conference will allow for an in-depth reflection and an open discussion on what supports, and opposes psychonalysis and neurosciences. The preoccupation for what brings them closer can then only be better emphasized. Both have the same clients whose expectations and requirements should guide our practices, just as they question the positions taken by public authorities. We hope that the contribution of each side to the questions addressed about their practices will turn this meeting into an important event for psychotics and the people who help them in their quest. You can obtain more information on our website.

The Interdisciplinary Freudian Group for Clinical and Cultural Research and Intervention does research in three major sectors: the psychoanalytic clinic, the socio-cultural field, and in international cooperation. The psychoanalytic clinic at GIFRIC bases its articulation on the Freudian concept as adjusted by the teachings and clinical applications devised by Jacques Lacan. The clinic offers training to professionals interested in the psychoanalytic experience, theoretical and clinical. It focuses on personal analysis, in-training supervision of treatment, weekly clinical seminars, and a clinical training period and its supervision. The program of psychoanalytic training is for five years including conferences, symposia, one-day study sessions and week-end workshops.

The Institute for Expressive Analysis is dedicated to the exploration and application of creativity in the processing and analysis of transference, countertransference and resistance in psychoanalysis. Both verbal and non-verbal aspects of treatment are considered, and because no single theoretical framework can encompass the complexity of depth-oriented treatment, the Institute offers a wide range of approaches culled from object relations theory, ego- and self-psychology, Jungian theory, Relational psychoanalysis, intersubjective theory and more traditional Freudian psychoanalytic theory.

Telephone: (914) 666-0163
Fax: (914) 666-0390

The Westchester Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy offers a four-year course of clinical training in Existential Psychoanalysis, and in collaboration with the Center for Depth Psychology and Jungian Studies, a four-year course of clinical training in psychoanalysis with a specialty in Jungian thought. A thorough grounding in psychoanalysis is the major theoretical approach of the Institute. Our curriculum immerses candidates in the array of psychoanalytic theories including Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysis, ego psychology, object relations theory, and self-psychology. Psychoanalytic theory and technique is applied to therapy with individuals, including children, with couples and with groups.

An important emphasis of the Institute is seeing human beings as always in process, moving intentionally with choices toward the future and not totally the product of biology and early formative experiences. We define this perspective as Existential Psychoanalysis, and its clinical importance is that the individual is seen as an active participant in his or her own development. A central theme of Existential Analysis is that consciousness is intentional which means that the external reality of our personal situation is less important that the way in which we perceive ourselves in the actual situation. The Institute's program fosters profound growth in its students, both personally and professionally. In addition, it seeks to create in its students an increased sensitivity to our responsibility to society, and to the challenge and honor of being an agent of healing in today's world.

The William Alanson White Institute, incorporated under the New York State Education Law on October 18, 1946 as a non-profit Educational Corporation, is an association whose primary focus is the training of resourceful psychoanalysts. The Curriculum takes note of the psychological, socio-cultural and biological factors in human behavior. Taking as its basis the special contributions of two of the Institute's founders, Harry Stack Sullivan and Erich Fromm, it fosters study of the depths of human experience, focusing on the person as a social being, and on human behavior as interpersonal communication. The significant contributions of Sigmund Freud to the understanding of human behavior, and the vital pre-and post-Freudian developments of the study of personality find a place within the framework of its philosophy. The Institute's activities extend beyond the training of psychoanalysts. It has many innovative programs, some as old as the Institute and others of more recent origin, which are described in the various areas of this site in more depth. In these manifold functions, the Institute expresses its faith that people, through the enhancement of their own capacities, may more efficiently cope with the challenge of being simply human.
