About the Foundations of Psychoanalytic Theory
Program

The Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis Foundations Program offers classes in contemporary psychoanalysis to both licensed therapists and pre-licensed mental health professionals. Foundation Program participants receive an extensive
introduction to both contemporary and classical analytic theory. In addition, all courses are taught by ICP members and candidates in a way that promotes active exploration of the application of psychoanalytic concepts in the clinical setting.

Program Overview

The one-year Foundations Program provides the student with the basic concepts of analytic theory and technique. The program presents a survey of historical models, along with an introduction to contemporary analytic thinking. The classes focus on core
psychoanalytic concepts and their basic application to clinical practice. Foundations courses are taught by notable ICP faculty and are open to students and clinicians at all levels of experience. The Foundations Program can be taken as a stand-alone course of study, and it can also serve as an educational platform for advancement into higher levels of psychoanalytic training in the 4-Year Candidate Psychoanalytic Training.
