About the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis (TICP):
TICP offers a four-year training programme in psychoanalysis that aims to strike a balance between professional and scholarly education. The programme examines, contrasts, and, where possible, integrates the thought and methods of major points of view in contemporary psychoanalysis. In addition to our formal training programme, we also bring leading psychoanalytic scholars from around the world to present their work. These presentations are open to members of the professional and scholarly communities interested in expanding their knowledge of psychoanalysis. For further information visit the TICP website: www.ticp.on.ca
About the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy (IARPP):
To promote the development of relational psychoanalysis, a new international association, the IARPP, was founded in 2001. The association is conceived of as a professional and intellectual community of individuals that embraces psychoanalytically oriented clinicians from all fields of practice and study. The IARPP is committed to developing relational perspectives and exploring similarities and differences with other approaches to analysis and psychotherapy. For further information visit the IARPP website: www.iarpp.net
About this conference:
Psychoanalytic clinicians frequently encounter problems with therapeutic impasse. Classical psychoanalysis has a number of specific responses to the phenomena. For contemporary psychoanalysis, particularly the relational orientation, there are number of evolving perspectives. These relational perspectives are rich in clinical nuance and the potential for the integration of the analytic and the therapeutic. Relational clinicians think about impasse and failures as difficult moments and enactments that reveal deep layers of unconscious communication and interaction. This conference will examine these evolving perspectives on therapeutic impasse with detailed clinical presentations and discussions by leading relational psychoanalysts. In addition to the formal sessions, there will be ample opportunity for open discussions between presenters.
