SUMMARY:BPA Introductory Lectures - Psychoanalysis: Key Concepts and a Contemporary Perspective
DESCRIPTION:This series of lectures introduces fundamental psychoanalytic ideas and explores a range of topics in greater depth. Delivered by BPA Psychoanalysts\, presentations are followed by a group discussion. \nThe series is organised so as to build up a systematic knowledge of the field over two academic terms or self contained lectures that can be attended individually. \nWhether you already have some understanding of psychoanalysis or are simply curious\, we hope that these lectures convey a sense of contemporary psychoanalytic thinking as well as what it is like to practice as an Analyst in 2027. \n\nClick here to register
