Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis

The Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy (CCP) is a free-standing, non-profit institute dedicated to the education of psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, and others interested in learning more about the practice of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic therapy, and psychoanalytic theory. CCP provides a course of study leading to certification in psychoanalysis and a two-year certificate program in psychoanalytic psychotherapy for working professionals. We also offer an ongoing fellowship program for clinicians and graduate students, study groups, and offer an annual public lecture series. CCP’s training programs provide a broad and deep psychoanalytic education, reflecting diverse clinical, technical, theoretical, and historical points of view. Courses are taught by outstanding educators, many of whom have published and presented extensively in their areas of interest and were chosen to reflect the multiplicity of current theoretical perspectives and models of thought. The curriculum of the different programs offered by CCP is designed to explore the fundamentals of psychoanalytic thought — from the classical to the newest developments in theory and technique.
