The Current Landscape

The current difficulty of training as a psychoanalyst

The path of training in mental health presents major structural barriers that hinder access to rigorous knowledge.

Sigmund Freud
01

The Tower of Babel

You face an absolute heterogeneity of knowledge. A sea of confusion in which psychoanalysis has lost its scientific rigor and carries a high economic cost.

02

Isolation

You are a mental health professional and cannot find real, accessible alternatives to train as a psychoanalyst and improve the quality of the care you provide to your patients.

03

Institutional Rejection

The contemporary mental health system and politics have attacked and marginalized Freudian ideas out of ignorance and distrust.
