Fundamentals in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
This introduction course to psychoanalytic psychotherapy has grown in popularity and become the first experience for many in learning about the intricacies and benefits of psychoanalytic treatment. The Fundamentals program started at OPC in 2008. It is a one-year Continuing Education program, team-taught by a faculty member and a graduate or community member. The class meets monthly and discusses readings assigned by the faculty, as well as case material. Students vary widely in their clinical experience, professional settings, and educational backgrounds. The course started out initially because there were so many people applying for the PPP program that OPC couldn’t accept them all.
Beyond Fundamentals in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
This a continuation to the introduction course to psychoanalytic psychotherapy which has increasingly grown in popularity and become the first experience for many in learning about the intricacies and benefits of psychoanalytic treatment.
Fundamentals is a prerequisite for this course, although expectations are made on a case-by-case basis.
About the Scholarship
The Oregon Psychoanalytic Center is pleased to announce our annual scholarship opportunity! This award has been developed by OPC to broaden the number of traditionally underrepresented populations in the field of psychoanalytic treatment. Our goal is to attract a more diverse student body as well as increase awareness among our current membership of the value of including all populations in all aspects of psychoanalytic education and treatment.
Eligibility
A $500 or $450 tuition waiver (depending on which course you are applying for) will be rewarded to a student or therapist who comes from or works with a traditionally underrepresented background, including racial and ethnic, and who would like to expand their knowledge of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Preference will be given to applicants who have demonstrated past clinical experience with underrepresented populations and who have an interest in fostering a culture of diversity within the communities of OPC and Portland.
