Free Association Clinic for Existential Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis
The FREE ASSOCIATION CLINIC FOR EXISTENTIAL PSYCHOTHERAPY AND PSYCHOANALYSIS Post-Doctoral Training Program offers training in existential psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. It is affiliated with the NEW SCHOOL FOR EXISTENTIAL PSYCHOANALYSIS (founded by Free Association, Inc.), a San Francisco certificate-based two-year virtual training program with faculty spread throughout the world, and shares many of the same faculty as the NEW SCHOOL. FREE ASSOCIATION CLINIC offers supervision and clinical case conferences by seasoned psychoanalytic practitioners, as well as weekly didactic seminars in psychoanalysis. The didactic portion of our training is designed to help students develop a clinical practice in psychoanalysis from an existential perspective. Seminars include instruction in the seminal contributors to psychoanalysis, including Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein, Wilfried Bion, Jacques Lacan, D. W. Winnicott, R. D. Laing, and others, as well as classical texts by existential philosophers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Martin Heidegger, and others.
