Educational Philosophy
The Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis (TICP) endeavours to strike a balance between professional training and scholarly education. The curriculum promotes these dual goals through seminars integrating theory and practice. The aim is to develop the ability to think critically about several major points of view in psychoanalysis (drive-structure, relational-structure, and self psychology) and to formulate clinical material from a variety of viewpoints. In order to accomplish this, the curriculum reflects a comparative-integrative perspective which compares and contrasts theoretical positions, maintaining a focus on the historical context in which the theory developed, the scientific-philosophical assumptions inherent in it and, where relevant, the personality of the theorist.
Currently, the TICP offers 2 programs: a four year program in psychoanalysis, in addition to the shorter Fellowship Program. Please click on the appropriate subheading on the left sidebar for additional details for each of these programs.
The next intake year is 2010. APPLICATION DEADLINE IS MAY 31, 2010. Click below for more details.
