New! MPDT Bursaries

MPDT is committed to increasing access to continuing professional development and training for people who find themselves with barriers to such learning. 

We believe that financial support is essential for increasing representation within the professions that are derived from psychoanalysis.

We aim is to ensure that trainees and students who want to learn more about psychoanalysis can access our training events, regardless of their background. We therefore offer a limited number of free/reduced places at our webinars and conferences.

We offer a limited number of bursaries to trainees who are undertaking a substantive psychodynamic or psychoanalytic training, accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) or the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). We are aware that such trainings are expensive and we want to help people from under-represented groups to become part of the psychoanalytic professions. We also offer bursaries for people undertaking the pre-clinical training in child and adolescent psychotherapy (Psychoanalytic Observational Studies).

If you are someone in a position to support the funded places or bursaries by providing a donation to MPDT, we would be grateful to hear from you. You can email us at info@mpdt.org.uk or contact one of the trustees.
