Seminar Series for Advanced Clinicians
The seminar series is designed for psychotherapists who are experienced clinicians in their fields, and who, preferably, have had some personal analysis or intensive psychotherapy. Each course stands on its own, so that a clinician may choose to take one, or any number of these courses. It is hoped that class discussions will be enriched by the intellectually stimulating combination of experienced instructors along with an experienced group of class participants.
Individualized Continuing Education Courses
Individualized courses can be developed for groups of six or more participants to be given either at the Farmington Hills or Ann Arbor MPI buildings, or at another mutually agreed upon site. The background and interests of the group members will determine the content, as well as the format of the class. Individualized courses can be utilized as in-service educational classes for staff in professional venues such as mental health clinics or schools, or for informally organized groups of interested colleagues.
Mental health professionals may request 1) a didactic course, focusing upon a particular subject of interest, 2) a clinical case discussion in which clinical material is presented and discussed, or 3) a study group in which an MPI faculty member can act as facilitator.
Members of professional groups outside of the mental health community, such as teachers, attorneys, physicians, clergy, academics, and others, may request courses in their particular area of interest in which a psychoanalytic perspective would be helpful.
Community groups may request courses in subjects which would be of interest to their clientele. These might include interests in developing a further understanding of such life experiences as child development, parenting, aging, divorce, illness, or death.
Fees are charged at the same rate as the courses in our seminar series.
