Our Values:
Research. We believe psychoanalytic research is needed to develop evidence and resources for practitioners who work with vulnerable individuals and marginalized communities.
Collaboration. We believe in uniting psychoanalytic knowledge, expertise from academia and social work practice to create trainings, programs and solutions for those working with vulnerable individuals and marginalized communities.
Innovation. We believe in the importance of creating new innovative ways to translate psychoanalytic theory and interventions to better inform social work practice and move this interdisciplinary field forward.
