  • Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study

    THE NORTHWEST ALLIANCE FOR PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDY (NWAPS) FACILITATES MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF CLINICIANS THROUGHOUT THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WHO VALUE PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY, KNOWLEDGE, AND PRACTICE. THE NWAPS WEBSITE (WWW.NWAPS.ORG) AND DISCUSSION FORUM CONTINUE TO OFFER MEMBERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXCHANGES ON THEORY AS WELL AS RESOURCE AND REFERRAL SHARING. THE WEBSITE INFORMS MEMBERS AND THE LARGER PSYCHOANALYTIC COMMUNITY ABOUT EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS; IT ALSO ALLOWS MEMBERS TO PAY FOR CLASSES/EVENTS ONLINE.

  • Psychoanalytic Education and Mentorship

    NWAPS OFFERS MULTIPLE COURSES AND SEMINARS EACH FALL, WINTER, AND SPRING. THESE ARE PRESENTED BY ALLIANCE MEMBERS AND PROFESSIONALS FROM THE WIDER PSYCHOANALYTIC COMMUNITY. EDUCATION COMMITTEE-SPONSORED COURSES AND DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER COMMITTEE-SPONSORED SEMINARS REQUIRE PRE-ENROLLMENT AND HAVE A SPECIFIC FEE STRUCTURE. STUDY GROUPS ARE ALSO OFFERED, OFTEN AT NO COST TO ALLIANCE MEMBERS. EACH APRIL FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS, THE NORTHWEST PSYCHOANALYTIC COMMUNITY HAS COME TOGETHER TO EXPERIENCE THE FORUM, THE ALLIANCES ANNUAL CONFERENCE. MASTER CLINICIANS, AS WELL AS NEWER PROFESSIONALS PRESENT ON A WIDE VARIETY OF PSYCHOANALYTIC TOPICS. AFTER A SUSPENSION OF OUR CONFERENCE IN 2020 DUE TO COVID-19, THE FOLLOWING YEAR WE PRODUCED THE FORUM ONLINE, IN 2022 WE RETURNED TO OFFERING THIS CONFERENCE IN PERSON AND IN 2023 WERE BACK AT FULL ATTENDANCE. WE CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS HAVING MORE IN-PERSON EVENTS. HOWEVER, MANY OF OUR MEMBERS AND PRESENTERS HAVE FOUND BENEFITS FROM THE ONLINE OPTION AND WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE THIS AS A WAY TO ACCESS PRESENTERS OUTSIDE THE GREATER PACIFIC NORTHWEST AREA AND INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY IN GENERAL. THE ALLIANCE ALSO OFFERS FORMAL MENTORING GROUPS AS A BENEFIT TO NWAPS MEMBERS WHO ARE IN THEIR FIRST 10 YEARS OF CLINICAL PRACTICE IN THE FIELD OF PSYCHOTHERAPY. EXPERIENCED THERAPISTS AND PSYCHOANALYSTS IN THE NWAPS COMMUNITY MEET VIRTUALLY WITH PARTICIPANTS IN SMALL GROUPS OF 4-6 PEOPLE TO FOCUS ON AREAS OF PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH, CASE CONSULTATION, AND RELEVANT TOPICAL STUDY. IN ADDITION, THE ALLIANCE IS EXPANDING ITS ANTI-RACISM WORK, STARTING WITH A SERIES CALLED SPEAKING ABOUT RACE AND TURNING OUR ATTENTION TO EXAMINING OUR PROGRAM WITH AN ANTI-RACIST LENS.
