PPSC Introduction PPSC operates from the premise that psychoanalytic training is enriched by exposure to all major theoretical orientations. We believe openness to different approaches will greatly facilitate the growth and development of the clinician.
Programs provide a solid grounding in basic psychoanalytic theory.
At the same time the curriculum and study environment challenge the candidate to compare and integrate significant contributions of four major orientations. In 1988 a new board of directors took over an existing PPSC charter and began a process of developing a different training curriculum that embraces Contemporary Freudian, Modern Psychoanalytic, Object Relations and Self Psychology psychoanalytic theoretical orientations. PPSC fosters a community of students, graduates, faculty and staff. The candidates, the Candidate Society and PPSC administration work together to meet the professional and training needs of the candidates.
