This course has been designed to provide trainees with an excellent clinical training, fully integrated with a knowledge and experience of the practice of couple psychodynamic psychotherapy that will be necessary for those working in depth with the emotional problems of the couple relationship. By ‘couple relationship’ we mean the diverse range of adult partnerships regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, living together or apart, with or without children, and throughout the life cycle.
Qualified psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapists that work with adults, children or groups, with an interest in working in depth with the emotional problems of the couple relationship.
The training is offered in a small-group setting, both in person and online. It aims to provide a thorough psychoanalytic understanding of the couple relationship including couple development, sexual relationships, working with unconscious couple dynamics and processes, psychopathology, clinical technique and so on. The course explores the conscious and unconscious impact of discrimination on the couple relationship (e.g. homophobia, racism, ageism, class, disability etc.)
Completing this course leads to qualification as a couple psychodynamic psychotherapist and professional membership of the psychodynamic section of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC accreditation pending).
