DEEPEN YOUR CLINICAL WORK
WITH EDUCATION AT NPSI
*Registration closes Thursday, 2/26/26 at Noon.*
We at Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute are delighted to announce an upcoming opportunity for community psychotherapists to learn more about the processes and rewards of engaging in the educational programs at our institute.
We are currently offering two paths for deepening your learning and work. In Fall 2026, we will again offer the first year in our Fundamentals of Psychoanalysis course. We are also accepting applications to join a new cohort to enter Psychoanalytic Training in Fall 2026.
To learn more about these programs and our community, we invite you to the following event, to be held at The Klee Condominium Community Room, 2717 Western Avenue.
Saturday morning, February 28th: 11:00 am to 12:30 pm
"Psychotherapy vs Psychoanalysis:
What's the Difference and Why it Matters"
Janelle Eckhardt, PhD, MIPA will offer thoughts on the differences and similarities between psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. We will include discussion time with event participants. This will be a hybrid event, with Zoom and in-person attendance.
