CHINA AMERICAN PSYCHOANALYTIC ALLIANCE

Elise Snyder and fourteen other CAPA analysts and analytic psychotherapists just returned from almost four weeks in China: sightseeing, visiting Tibet and attending conferences in five cities in China were there are large numbers of CAPA students and graduates.

CAPA is now evaluating applications from Chinese mental health professionals for CAPA’s 10th class. More than 400 analysts and analytic psychotherapists are CAPA teachers, treaters and supervisors—many of them APsaA and IPA members. Each year, CAPA receives 150 applications for its four-year psychodynamic psychotherapy program and accepts 40. Each week for thirty weeks each year there are 4 hours of class and one hour of individual supervision. Students are offered the opportunity for distance analysis or psychotherapy. Currently more than 100 Chinese are in 3-5 session/week distance analysis and another 100 in distance psychotherapy. Continue reading CHINA AMERICAN PSYCHOANALYTIC ALLIANCE

Friday, December 9, 2016, 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm, The School of Visual Arts, 136 West 21st Street, New York, NY

Suggested Readings: Lacan: Seminar VI, Le Désir et son Interprétation, 1958-59, class of February 11, 1959; Seminar VIII, Le Transfert, 1960-61, classes of April 19 and 26, 1961. Continue reading Fear of Speaking: The Virulence of Aphasia with Paula Hochman Vappereau at Après-Coup
