The Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center of North Carolina was established in 1993 as a Division of the North Carolina Psychoanalytic Society. Its purpose is to enhance the quality of psychotherapy available to the public by offering a series of educational programs on the theory and practice of psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy.
Courses are open to psychotherapists of the various clinical disciplines.
The Introductory Course also receives selected non-clinical applicants who qualify. From its beginning, the Center has aimed to present a balanced view of psychoanalysis, from its roots in the work of Sigmund Freud to its current growth and development, and to explore its application to psychotherapy.
