Couple therapy summer school 2025

Theme: Creative coupling

With Andrew Balfour, Alison Bruce, Martha Doniach, Liz Hamlin, Damian McCann, Mary Morgan, Marian O’Connor, Stanley Ruszczynski, Amita Sehgal and Kate Thompson.

Join us for our annual summer school exploring creative coupling in psychoanalytic couple psychotherapy. We will examine the concept of the creative couple, its role in internal psychic development and in relationships, while also considering other psychological thirds that influence couple dynamics. Through theoretical discussions and clinical perspectives, we will uncover the challenges and possibilities of supporting the development of the creative couple in the relationships we work with.

The summer school is for psychodynamic and psychoanalytic couple-trained therapists, and we will consider applications from highly experienced psychoanalytically trained therapists working with individuals who have an interest in couples work. This intensive training week provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in cutting-edge thinking with a world-leading couple psychoanalytic psychotherapy institute.

You will learn and grow as a therapist through theoretical seminars and twice-daily intensive clinical discussion groups, and will study alongside like-minded people from the UK and around the world. Included in the course fee is an evening drink reception to connect with your colleagues, a theatre ticket to see the highly acclaimed play Till the Stars Come Down, which will be attended as a group on the Wednesday evening with a discussion the following day, and in-depth learning with experts in the field.

Cost: £980 (£833 trianee /NHS)
