Training with AIP
The AIP training in individual psychodynamic psychotherapy follows the unfolding life journey from our present understanding of life in the womb to old age and death. It explores the way in which contemporary psychological perspectives (developmental, clinical and mythological) can facilitate the special attentiveness that allows the personal and collective meanings of the journey to reveal themselves. The training aims to maintain a creative tension between analytical psychology and psychoanalysis. It is pluralistic and emphasizes an historical perspective on analytical theory and practice. The practice of psychotherapy is felt to be a vocation.
Throughout the training there are seminars covering a variety of clinical issues including transference/ countertransference, regression, narcissism, schizoid phenomena, depression, suicide, somatization, dreams, the shadow, archetypes, alchemical imagery and individuation. Attention is also given to management and professional concerns. Reading includes papers from a broad range of writers - Freud, Klein, Winnicott, Guntrip, Ferenczi, Searles, Laing, Lacan, Jung, Jacoby, Von Franz, Fordham, Edinger, Stein, Eliade and Hillman.
Qualification takes at least 4 years.
