Our Philosophy
The contemporary psychoanalytic landscape, both nationally and internationally, is marked by a thriving pluralism of interpersonal perspectives, offering an unparalleled diversity of theoretical approaches. At the same time, the pandemic has significantly reshaped the dimensions of commitment and connection, leading to an evolving and increasingly fluid understanding of "belonging."
At ICPA, a cornerstone of our mission is to comprehend and integrate these modern shifts in "interpersonal becoming" and to incorporate this knowledge into the clinical training of our candidates. Our goal is to equip trainees with the skills and confidence to actively engage with the complexities of today’s psychoanalytic world.
ICPA is committed to fostering innovation, embracing diverse viewpoints, and delivering forward-thinking training that reflects the dynamic nature of contemporary psychoanalysis.
